2. Motor bi-direction rotation and dynamic braking control module 1 set

3. PC with STEP7-Micro/WIN programming software 1 set

4. PC/PPI programming cable 1 piece

5. Connection wires Several

Three. Experiment Principle

1. Control Object ( Experiment module ) Description

This experiment module provides relays and DC motors to make students learn
how to use PLC to control the motor start, stop and reversing by programming
practice. Among them, KMI is the relay to control motor's positive rotation, KM2 to
control motor's reverse rotation and KMZ is the relay to control motor's dynamic
braking. Their coils correspond to the jack with the same name on the panel, they are
the output controlling signals. "Corotation", "Reverse", "Stop" are the input signals of
PLC.

DC motor is used in this module, its bi-direction rotation and dynamic braking
principle can be seen from silkscreen of the module panel. When the motor positively
rotates, KMI coil is energized, connect positive pole o the power supply with positive
pole of the motor and the negative with the negative; when the motor reversely rotates,
KMI coil loses power while KM2 coil is energized, connect positive pole of the power
supply with negative pole of the motor and the negative with the positive. When the
motor brakes, KMZ coil is energized, the normally closed contact disconnects, cut off
the power supply, the normally closed contact closes to make the motor conenct with
dynamic braking resistor

2. Control requirements:

1.) Press the Corotation button, KMI closes, the motor positively rotates;
 2.) Press the Reverse button, KM2 closes, the motor reversely rotates;

3.) Press the Stop button, KMZ acts with 2 seconds delay, the motor dynamic
brakes and stops after sustaining for 5 seconds

Four. Experiment Contents and Steps

1. List the I/O assignment table according to experiment principle (you can
refer to below table), write the experiment program according to the assignments table.

INPUT OUTPUT
Corotation - 10,1 KMI - Q0.1
Reverse - 10.2 KM2 - Q0.2
Stop - 10.3 KMZ - Q0.0
2. Connect one end of the programming cable with PLC programming interface
and the other with computer serial port with power turned-off.

3. Wiring in Experiment: Except what are listed in the I/O assignment table,
wires of input and output power supply of the PLC host should also be well connected,
the wiring of the power supply part should be as follows according to the I/O
assignment table above:

INPUT POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT POWER SUPPLY

1M of host module - M of host module GND of experiment module - GND of host
module
L+ of experiment module - L+ of host module 1lL of host module - +24V of host module
Note: "Host module" refers to the right middle board among the three boards under the
experiment screen, there are input and output terminal jacks of PLC host.

4. Open STEP7-Micro/WIN programming software, execute the menu command

"File/New" or click button on the leftmost of the toolbar to generate a new

project. Execute the menu command "PLC/Type" to set the PLC model.

5. Input the programmed experiment program ( usually by ladder program

editor) in the main program (OBI), click the button on the toolbar,
compile the input program. If the program is wrong, the output window will display an
error message. Double click the error message, corresponding error block can be
displayed in the program editor to modify.

6. Turn on the power supply of the experiment platform, push the PLC mode
switch to the STOP position. Execute the menu command "File / Download" or click
the button on the toolbar to select the downloaded blocks and to download.

7. Push the PLC mode switch to the "RUN" position after successful
downloading, "RUN" indicating lamp lights, the program begins to run. Observe the
results of the operation, if the result does not match with the control requirements,
modify the program according to the observed phenomena, re-download for debugging,
until it meet the control requirement.
