Workstation description
A workstation with two actuators equipped with two limit switches activated by a block moved by actuators. A very simple industrial automation system. With its help, you can get acquainted with the basics of writing programs for a PLC controller, including the control of the actuator coils, reaction to signals from limit switches, as well as timers and counters.
The described device model is a ready-made example that can be used directly for educational purposes. The model does not need to be modified, but it can also be freely adapted to your needs. It is adapted to be connected to a PLC simulator or to work with a real PLC controller.
Mathematical model:
PLC inputs:
X0 - start button
X1 - block 1 end position
X2 - block 2 end position (initial position)
PLC outputs:
Y0 - piston rod 1 extension
Y1 - piston rod 1 retraction
Y2 - piston rod 2 extension
Y3 - piston rod 2 retraction
