Motor start:stop logic with ladder logic | PLC Programming | PLC PROGRAMMING TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS

Motor Start/Stop Circuit -
A very useful Ladder Logic Programming Pattern is the Start/Stop Circuit. This pattern is an extension to the Sealed in Coil pattern and is similar to the State Coil. However, where the State Coil is “trigger dominant” (i.e. the Trigger condition takes priority over the Break Condition), the Start/Stop Circuit is “stop dominant”:

Like the Sealed in Coil, the Run coil will always revert to a de-energized (off) state if the PLC is turned off, or if the ladder logic program is reset. That’s a useful property because when starting up the machine we likely want motors, etc., to be in the off state until the logic decides to start them.

The inputs to this circuit are the “Start” and “Stop” conditions. You could imagine both are momentary buttons on an operator screen that are on while the operator is actually pushing the button. If the operator pushes the Start button, then the Run coil will turn on, and it seals itself in until the operator pushes the Stop button. The reason that this pattern is “stop dominant” is that we want the Stop condition to take priority over the Start condition in the case where both signals are active. Imagine a case where the Start condition was stuck on for some reason. At least the operator could stop the motor, etc., by holding the Stop button on until they can turn the machine off with the main switch.

This makes more sense if you imagine that Start and Stop are physical buttons wired into inputs of the PLC. In that case we would normally wire the Start button using a “normally open” contact (so pushing the Start button turns the input on) and we would wire the Stop button using a “normally closed” contact (so pushing the Stop button turns the input off). Normally open contacts can and do get welded in the “on” position sometimes, and making the Stop button take priority over the Start button makes even more sense. In this case, the logic looks slightly different.

The reason the buttons are wired this way is so that if the wire to the Stop button becomes disconnected or power to the Stop button is lost, then the machine will act as if the Stop button has been pressed, and the motor, etc., will stop. This is presumably a safer condition than allowing the motor to continue running without the ability to stop it.

Although I don't speak your language, the few English words incorporated and the logical way you presented the circuit and it's components meant I had no trouble following your tutorial. Many thanks.

Hello, sir
Which type communication (NO & NC) is best of start and stop logic ?
