Hi Everyone. Could you please help me out with this project. I have three tests and this project due within 5 days. I have no idea where to start.
Apply the knowledge of programmable logic control and industrial control systems to develop a control system for an automated garage door opener. You have been assigned the responsibility to develop the sequence of activities that are needed to successfully operate the garage door opener and to prepare a PLC program to monitor and control these activities. Details of the operations of the garage system are shown as follows.
The various activities involved in the operation of a garage door control system include the following:
1. The garage door is opened or closed using push-button switches X1, or remote control X2 and X3.
2. Depressing X1, X2, or X3 will open the garage door if it is closed, or close it if it is open.
3. To open the garage door, the opener motor should turn counter-clockwise (i.e., output Y1 is activated).
4. To close the garage door, the motor should turn clockwise (i.e., output Y2 is activated).
5. Energizing outputs Y1 and Y2 simultaneously will stall the opener motor and therefore they should NOT be simultaneously activated.
6. There are two limit switches that indicate fully open (X4) or fully closed (X5) status of the door.
7. The two limit switches (X4 and X5) are also used to stop the motor while closing or opening.
8. Excess load on the motor (while running) is detected by input X6.
9. The garage door reverses its direction upon detecting an overload (X6).
10. The garage light (output Y3) will go ON and stay ON when the garage door is being opened or closed. The garage light Y3 will remains ON until 10 seconds after the completion of the garage door-opening or the door-closing process.
11. A photo-sensor (X7) is used to detect obstacles during garage door closing (only). During the garage door-closing, if an object passes the door to trigger the photo- sensor X7, it will reverse the closing of the garage door and also sounds an alarm (output Y4).
Using RSLogix, develop the corresponding programming code for the mentioned operations of the garage door control system and realize them in the RSLogix programming software:
(Note: for defining the timer, create a tag and select timer as the data type. When the timer finishes timing, the output is tagname.DN)
All help is highly appreciated. Lots of virtual hugs.
