CHAPTER 8
PROGRAMMING COUNTERS
8-2 Write a program that will implement the following conveyor motor control process:
OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE
- The start button is pressed to start the conveyor motor.
- Cases move past the proximity switch and increment the counter's
accumulated value.
- After a count of 13, the conveyor motor stops automatically and the
counters accumulated value is reset to 0.
- The conveyor motor can be stopped and started
manually at any time without loss of the accumulated
count.
- The accumulated count of the counter can be reset manually at any
time by means of the count reset button.
- The process is repeated when the start button is
pressed.
Use the Silo simulator screen and the following addresses to
Page 6 of 12 PSIM Training CD-ROMs

simulate the program:
INPUTS OUTPUT COUNTER
Start button - I: 1/1 Conveyor Motor - O: 1/0 CTU - C1
Stop button - I: 1/0
Count reset button - I: 1/2
Proximity Switch (NO) - I: 1/3

8-23 Write a program to implement the process illustrated. An up-
counter must be programmed as part of a batch-counting operation to sort parts
automatically for quality control. The counter is installed to divert 1 part out of every 10 for
quality control or inspection process. The circuit operates as follows.
- A start/stop pushbutton station is used to turn the conveyor motor on and
off.
- A proximity sensor counts the parts as they pass by on the conveyor.
- When 10 is reached, the counter's output activates the gate solenoid,
diverting the part to the inspection line.
- The gate solenoid is energized for 2 s, which allows enough time for the part
to continue to the quality control line.
- The gate returns to its normal position when the 2 s time period ends.
- The counter resets to zero and continues to accumulate counts.
- A reset pushbutton is provided to reset the counter manually.
Use the Silo simulator screen and the following address to simulate the program:
INPUTS OUTPUTS
Conveyor stop PB - I: 1/0 Conveyor motor - O: 1/0
Conveyor start PB - I: 1/1 Solenoid - O: 1/0

CHAPTER 9
PROGRAM CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
9-1 A temporary jumper can be installed in a PLC program in order to force a control ON or
OFF as illustrated below. A dedicated I/O address can be used to operate all jumpers.
Jumpers that are identified in this way are easy to locate in the program. Simply look for
that particular I/O address and you will find every jumper that is used in the program.

9-1(a) Construct a PSIM program for the generic ladder logic program shown.
