INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONAfter the planning phase of the design, the equipment can be ordered. This decision
is usually based upon the required inputs, outputs and functions of the controller. The
first decision is the type of controller; rack, mini, micro, or software based. This
decision will depend upon the basic criteria listed below.
Number of logical inputs and outputs. Memory - Often 1K and up. Need is dictated by size of ladder logic program. A ladder
element will take only a few bytes, and will be specified in manufacturers documentation.
Number of special I/O modules - When doing some exotic applications, a large number of
special add-on cards maybe required.
Scan Time - Big programs or faster processes will require shorter scan times. And, the
shorter the scan time, the higher the cost. Typical values for this are 1 microsecond per
simple ladder instruction
Communications - Serial and networked connections allow the PLC to be programmed
and talk to other PLCs. The needs are determined by the application.
Software - Availability of programming software and other tools determines the
programming and debugging ease.

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONThe process of selecting a PLC can
be broken into the steps listed below.
1. Understand the process to be
controlled
List the number and types of inputs
and outputs.
Determine how the process is to be
controlled.
Determine special needs such as
distance between parts of the
process.
2. If not already specified, a single
vendor should be selected. Factors
that might be considered are :
Manuals and documentation
Support while developing programs
The range of products available
Support while troubleshooting
Shipping times for emergency
replacements
Training
The track record for the company
Business practices (billing,
upgrades/obsolete products, etc.)
3. Plan the ladder logic for the
controls.
4. Count the program instructions
and enter the values into the
sheets. Use the instruction times
and memory requirements for each
instruction to determine if the PLC
has sufficient memory, and if the
response time will be adequate for
the process.

6.1.2 Define types of input / output:
Every programmable logic controller must have some
means of receiving and interpreting signals from real-world
sensors such as switches, and encoders, and also be able
to effect control over real-world control elements such as
solenoids, valves, and motors.
This is generally known as input/output
To select the I/O, must know;
Types of supply connected? AC/DC
Switching technique? Relay(normal
condition)/Transistor(fast condition)/ AC(High voltage)
The I/O Unit has two type; i- Discrete I/O:ii- Analog I/O
-
i- Discrete I/O: A discrete data point is one with only two states on & off.
Digital I/O modules have digital I/O circuits that interface to on/off sensors such as push-button and limit switches and on/off actuators such as motor starters & pilot lights
Digital I/O modules cover electrical ranges from 5 to 276 V AC or DC, and relay contact output modules are available for ranges from 0 to 276 V AC or 0 to 175 V DC.
-
ii- Analog I/O Analog I/O modules perform the required A/D and D/A
conversions using up to 16-bit resolution.
A range of analog signal levels can be accommodated, including standard analog inputs and outputs and direct thermocouple and RTD temperature inputs
Analog I/O is commonly available for modular PLCs for
many different analog signal types, including:
Voltage (0 to 10 volt, 0 to 5 volt)
Current (0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA)
Thermocouple (mV)
RTD (mV)

2. Installing the CPU Unit & I/OUnit
The small PLC must be installed inthe position shown below to ensureadequate cooling.
See the picture below;
Do not install the small PLC in either of the following positions.
-
The small PLC can be installed ona horizontal surface or on a DINtrack.
See the picture below ;
Lower the small PLC so that thenotch on the back of the PLCcatches the top of the DIN Track.Push the PC forward until the locksnaps into place.
See the picture below ;
-
For the big PLC before installing, the Units have to compiled one by one. There is no single Unit that can be said to constitute a Rack PLC. To build a Rack PLC, we start with a Backplane. The Backplane for the Omron PLC is shown below.
The Backplane is a simple device havingtwo functions. The first is to providephysical support for the Units to bemounted to it.
The second is to provide the connectorsand electrical pathways necessary forconnecting the Units mounted to it. Thecore of the PLC is the CPU.
The CPU contains the program consistingof the series of steps necessary for thecontrol task. The CPU has a built-in powersupply, and fits into the rightmost positionof the Backplane.
-
The CPU of the big PLC has no I/O pointsbuilt in. So, in order to complete the PLCwe need to mount one or more I/O Units tothe Backplane.
Mount the I/O Unit to the Backplane bylocking the top of the I/O Unit into the sloton the Backplane and rotating the I/O Unitdownwards as shown in the followingdiagram.
Press down on the yellow tab at the bottomof the slot, press the I/O Unit firmly intoposition, and then release the yellow tab.
-
The figure below shows one I/O Unit mounted directly to the left of the CPU.
I/O Units are where the control connections are made from the PLC to all thevarious input devices and output devices. As you can see from the figureabove, there is still some space available on the left side of the Backplane.This space is for any additional I/O Units that may be required. The figurebelow shows a total of eight I/O Units mounted to the Backplane.
-
After the big PLC compiled in the backplane then the big PLC can beinstalled on the DIN Rail.The DIN Rail Mounting Bracket shown below is necessary for mounting the PLC to the DIN Rail.
The following diagram is a view of the back of the Backplane. Attach one Mounting Bracket to the left and right sides of the Backplane as shown below.
-
Mount the Backplane to the DIN Railso that the claws on the MountingBrackets fit into the upper portion ofthe DIN Rail as shown below.
Loosen the screws attaching theMounting Brackets to theBackplane. Slide the Backplaneupward as shown below so that theMounting Bracket and Backplaneclamp securely onto the DIN Rail.Tighten the screws.

6.2.3 Define precautions for wiring:
I/O Lines Noise
Power lines & high-voltage equipment can cause electrical noise in the PLC ;
Do not install the PLC in a panel or cabinet with high-voltage equipment
Do not run CPM1A I/O lines in the same duct @ conduit as power lines.
Allow at least 200 mm between the PLC and nearby power lines
See the picture below;
Ensure that the PLC can beaccessed for normal operation andmaintenance;
Provide a clear path to the PLC foroperation and maintenance. High-voltage equipment or power linescould be dangerous if they are in theway during routine operations.
The PLC will be easiest to access ifthe panel or cabinet is installed about3 to 5 feet above the floor

Duct WorkDuct WorkDuct WorkDuct WorkHanging Ducts If power cables carrying more
than 10 A 400 V, or 20 A 220 V must be run
along side the I/O wiring (that is, in parallel with it),
at least 300 mm must be left between the
power cables and the I/O wiring as shown below.
-
Floor Ducts If the I/O wiring and power cables must be placed in the same duct (for example, where they are connected to the equipment), they must be shielded from each other using grounded metal plates.
Conduits if Separating the PLC I/O lines, power and control lines, and power cables, as shown in the following diagram.
-
I/O connectionsConnect the I/O Devices to the I/O Units. Use 1.25-mm2 cables or larger The terminals have screws with 3.5-mm diameter heads and self-raising pressure plates. Connect the lead wires to the terminals as shown below. Tighten the screws with a torque of 0.8 N _ m.
If you wish to attach solderless type terminals to the ends of the lead wires, use terminals having the dimensions shown below.
-
The following diagrams show the input configurations. This input configuration depend on specification of the Input Unit will be used.**See the specification before install.
The following diagrams show the output configurations. This output configuration depend on specification of the Output Unit will be used. **See the specification before install.
-
Power supply wiring (100 to 240 VAC)-Wire a separate circuit for the CPM*As power supply circuit so that there isnt a voltage drop from the inrush current that flows when other equipment is turned on.-When several CPM*A PLCs are being used, it is recommended to wire the PCs on separate circuits to prevent a voltage drop from the inrush current @ incorrect operation of the circuit breaker.-Use twisted power supply wires to prevent noise from the power supply lines. Adding 1:1 isolation transformer may reduce electrical noise even further. -The following example show the proper way to connect the power source to the PLC. -Use 1.25-mm2 cables or larger. The terminal blocks have screws with 3.5-mm diameter heads and self-raising pressure plates. -For connecting to the terminal blocks, use round crimp terminals for 3.5-mm diameter heads. Directly connecting stranded wires to the terminal blocks may cause a short-circuit.
-
GroundingThis PLC has sufficient protection against noise, so it can be used without groundingexcept for special much noise.However, when grounding it should be done conforming to below items:
- Ground the PLC as independently as possible.- Class 3 grounding should be used (grounding resistance 100 or less).- When independent grounding is impossible, use the joint grounding method asshown in the figure below (B).- Use thicker grounding wire. Make sure the cable used for grounding at least 2mm2.- Grounding site and the green cable must be terminated at the cable lug. Cable lugmust be tightened and soldered
- Grounding point should be as near as possible to the PLC to minimize the distanceof grounding cable.

6.2.4 Define technique to solve instable voltage &
voltage spike problems:
Voltage spike: A sudden, short surge in voltage. Voltage spikes can be caused by lightning, power outages, short
circuits, or power transitions in large equipment on the same
power line.
To avoid voltage spike (suppression of Inductive Loads):
Install a snubber circuit, typically a resistor/capacitor network (RC).
Install metal oxide varistor (MOV).
Its may limit the voltage spike as well as control the rate of
current change through the inductor.

The main system components of a PLC system are semiconductors, and it contains few components with limited lifetimes. Poor environmental conditions, however, can lead to deterioration of the electrical components, the harsher the environment, the more frequent the maintenance necessary.
Preventive maintenance of programming controller systems includes onlya few basic procedures which will greatly reduce the failure rate of systemcomponents.
The standard period for maintenance checks is 6 months to 1 year, butmore frequent checks are required if the PLC is operated in moredemanding conditions. When inspecting one or two times per sixmonths, check the following items.
