Look about 10 cm from the top of the page for the menu bar. Click on "search". Type "washing machine" in the search window.

I would avoid an elevator unless just two floors.
Take a look at the appliances in your home. Dishwasher, clothes washer, or outside - traffic lites, railroad,
The list is endless. Pick any machine you like see how it works ie cycles (washing machine) write sequence of cycles then decide if you want to use that as a model.
It is your project, you are the student, you are in school to learn so LEARN ON

OK Shera
You seem to want to stay with a residential application.
ASSIGNMENT
Go do your laundry.
Observe washing machine and each step it goes thru. What is result if you open the lid? Record each step.
Report back on the steps.
There should be six or seven if I recall correctly. I used this as a model in PLC class and used it to learn the sequencer command in AB.
I think an induction heater is a little too simple unless you went with a heat up ramp based on food temperature.

Which reminds me, my dishwasher has blown out its brains again. Do you think anybody would notice if I used one of my old Series One's to control it?
(Actually, I have a spare dishwasher, her name is Susana
)

Here is the thread for Ken Moore's Clothes Washing Machine PLC program.

A clothes washer, clothes dryer, or dishwasher make good student residential simulation projects for a Programmable Logic Controller.
Then there is the old student standard, the traffic light. The traffic light can be simulated on a PLC with no additional input or output devices.
