Any PLC

[sundar_recr]

I am having Only one Push button with only one Normally Open Contact. With this i have to switch on & OFf a Output . i.e if i press the push button the output should go to ON state. And if i press the pushbutton Again The Output should go to off state. The process should be repeated.
How can i d the ladder logic for this?

Do a search for "toggle".

Simon,

Are you tired of this?(just noticed such a short direct answer), can't we debate the 1000 correct/incorrect ways

Let's discuss the 1000 ways.

Does your PLC have pulsed functions?

 

[rsdoran]

It may also be called a flip flop, it depends on the PLC what to use but most have some form of one-shot instruction which is also called a positive (or negative) differential. This is an example of a basic method using a GE Fanuc with a positivie differential coil (the M with ^). I is input and Q is output. This page also offers a flow chart provided by Terry Woods to help explain it.

Ok, http://www.patchn.com/flipflop.htm here are 500 and here are the other 500 http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthread.php?t=22175

yes, its called a momentary contact, or a free running clock, AB S2:4/x, does yours?

Do not go there, AB has nothing Siemens does not.

PERSONALLY I do not see what a pulsed function or clock has to do with what was asked.

Me neither, but i would hazard a guess that we will find out!

why don t u se a pb which latchis its position , this would be much easier

Ron, I am well aware of what Siemens has to offer, he did not say "Siemens" but I would like to know what PLC he was referring to? as for the clock I was referring to a "pulsed function" question by fox not the original question. I would consider a free running bit a "pulsed bit".

Me neither, but i would hazard a guess that we will find out!

ya think?

why don t u se a pb which latchis its position , this would be much easier

Yes, I would agree, but if you read the original question, he has one N/O contact (momentary) is the way that I took it, so as in my original reply, there have been several debates about toggle (flipflop)

Is it holidays in the US?

It's Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK, 4 days work only this week..........

Still a 7day work week here , but it is a holiday

Yes, it would be easier, but would only offer a fraction of the functionality. For instance, I often use illuminated momentary PBs to start machines, i.e. the operator pushes the button, the light comes on and the machine starts. They push it again, and the machines stops. But I can also stop the machine automatically based on fault conditions, product counts or whatever, and the button light goes out, requiring the operator to restart the machine. If I used a latched PB and stopped the machine automatically, it just wouldn't "look right" to see the button in the ON position without the machine running. The illuminated momentary button, although very simple, gives more operator feedback.

I pretty much limit latched switches to settings that are mutually exclusive, such as auto mode and manual mode, and that do not directly cause machine motion.

Just my opinion.

 

[Terry Woods]

Then there is the case where a single push-button serves a number of different functions... just like the page-oriented buttons around an HMI. While the HMI is displaying Page-1, the particular button performs "this particular function". While Page-2 is displayed, the same button performs "that particular function". In that case, a mechanically self-latching button is useless.
