17.Tank Used to Mix Two Liquids
A tank is used to mix two liquids. The control circuit operates as follows:
1. When the start button is pressed, solenoids A and B energize. This permits the two liquids to begin filling the tank.
2. When the tank is filled, the float switch trips. This de-energizes solenoids A and B and starts themotor used to mix the liquids together.
3. The motor is permitted to run for one minute. After one minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C energizes to drain the tank.

36.Memory Designs
VOLATILE.
A volatile memory is one that loses its stored information when power is removed.
Even momentary losses of power will erase any information stored or programmed on a volatile memory chip.
Common Type of Volatile Memory
RAM. Random Access Memory(Read/Write)
Read/write indicates that the information stored in the memory can be retrieved or read, while write indicates that the user can program or write information into the memory.

37.
The words random access refer to the ability of any location (address) in the memory to be accessed or used. Ram memory is used for both the user memory (ladder diagrams) and storage memory in many PLC’s.
RAM memory must have battery backup to retain or protect the stored program.
38.Several Types of RAM Memory:
1.MOS
2.HMOS
3.CMOS
The CMOS-RAM (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) is probably one of the most popular. CMOS-RAM is popular because it has a very low current drain when not being accessed (15microamps.), and the information stored in memory can be retained by as little as 2Vdc.

Common Type of Non-Volatile Memory
ROM, Read Only Memory
Read only indicates that the information stored in memory can be read only and cannot be changed. Information in ROM is placed there by the manufacturer for the internal use and operation of the PLC.

PROM, Programmable Read Only Memory
Allows initial and/or additional information to be written into the chip.
PROM may be written into only once after being received from the PLC manufacturer; programming is accomplish by pulses of current.

41.EPROM, Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
Ideally suited when program storage is to be semi-permanent or additional security is needed to prevent unauthorized program changes.
The EPROM chip has a quartz window over a silicon material that contains the electronic integrated circuits. This window normally is covered by an opaque material, but when the opaque material is removed and the circuitry exposed to ultra violet light, the memory content can be erased.
The EPROM chip is also referred to as UVPROM.

43.PLC Operation
Basic Function of a Typical PLC
Read all field input devices via the input interfaces, execute the user program stored in application memory, then, based on whatever control scheme has been programmed by the user, turn the field output devices on or off, or perform whatever control is necessary for the process application.
This process of sequentially reading the inputs, executing the program in memory, and updating the outputs is known as scanning.
44.While the PLC is running, the scanning process includes the following four phases, which are repeated continuously as individual cycles of operation:

45.PHASE 1 – Input Status scan
A PLC scan cycle begins with the CPU reading the status of its inputs.
A PLC scan cycle begins with the CPU reading the status of its inputs.
46.PHASE 4 - Output Status Scan
An output status scan is then performed, whereby the stored output values are sent to actuators and other field output devices. The cycle ends by updating the outputs.
47.As soon as Phase 4 are completed, the entire cycle begins again with Phase 1 input scan.
The time it takes to implement a scan cycle is called SCAN TIME. The scan time composed of the program scan time, which is the time required for solving the control program, and the I/O update time, or time required to read inputs and update outputs. The program scan time generally depends on the amount of memory taken by the control program and type of instructions used in the program. The time to make a single scan can vary from 1 ms to 100 ms.

LANs are commonly used in business applications to allow several users to share costly software packages and peripheral equipment such as printers and hard disk storage.

57.MEMORY CAPACITY
The amount of memory required for a particular application is related to the length of the program and the complexity of the control system. Simple applications having just a few relays do not require significant amount of memory. Program length tend to expand after the system have been used for a while. It is advantageous to a acquire a controller that has more memory than is presently needed.
58.Troubleshooting
1. Look at the process
2. PLC status lights
HALT - something has stopped the CPU
RUN - the PLC thinks it is OK (and probably is)
ERROR - a physical problem has occurred with the PLC
3. Indicator lights on I/O cards and sensors
4. Consult the manuals, or use software if available.
