PLC
Definition: “PLC is a digitally operating electronic system
designed for use in an industrial environment which uses a programmable memory for the internal storage of instruction for implementing specific functions to control various types of process”.
In the earlier days, the equipment was operated by Electro-mechanical Relay mounted panel
The PLC replaced Relay mounted panels
2
PLC
The advantages of PLC over the Relay Logic are:
- Less cabling
- Less space requirement
- Very High flexibility
- High reliability
- Easy diagnostic
- Very fast response time

PLC In Refinery
Mainly Allen-Bradley make Others PLC Siemens, Mitsubishi The Siemens PLCs are installed in the Sulfur
and PP plant. The Mitsubishi PLCs are installed for the Access
Gate Control Allen-Bradley having PLC 5 and SLC family In PLC 5 family, the most populated models in
Refinery are PLC 5/40 and 5/60
5
PLC in Refinery
In the SLC family, main models are SLC 5/02, 5/03 and 5/04
PLC and SLC Controls Operation of the Compressors, Heaters, Filters, F&G, Analyzer Safe Guarding System and Other package units

Processor Architecture
The main parts of PLC are:
1) CPU
2) Memory
3) Inputs
4) Outputs
5) Power Supply
6) Programming Terminal

Processor Architecture
8
PLC System Architecture
Input to the PLC are mainly of two types. - Digital Input: Proximity Switch, Pressure switch,
Temperature switch etc. - Analog Input: 4 to 20 mA signals of Pressure,
Level, Temperature, Flow transmitters. Output form the PLC going to I/P converter of
the valve, Variable speed drives, Relay, Lamp indication, Hooter, etc.
The Digital and Analog input signals comes to the Digital and Analog input card respectively
9
PLC System Architecture
The Digital and Analog outputs are coming from the Digital and Analog output cards respectively.
This cards are installed in Chassis called Remote I/O Chassis
The Remote I/O chassis is connected with PLC thru Belden 9463 (blue Colour)
10
PLC System Architecture
Why Remote Chassis are Required? Remote I/O adaptor Card is Required for the
Communication with the Processor. It always remains in the first slot of the Chassis
The Power Supply card in the Chassis is required to supply power to the complete chassis
The 110Vac power supply is required for Power Supply card
11
PLC System Architecture
The Chassis contains the processor is called Local chassis (Particularly Primary)
The processor is fixed in first slot The Second slot normally contains BCM
card The Third slot normally contains BEM card In the last slot , Power supply card is
installed
12
PLC System Architecture
There are two Local chassis containing Processor.
One processor is in primary mode and the other is in secondary mode
The processor is having node address which can set by switch settings on the card
The primary processor is connected on the DH+ network
13
PLC System Architecture
The primary processor appears as node no “n” in the DH+ network and the secondary processor appears as “n+1” in the network
The KF2 module is connected on the network KF2 Module Converts DH+ data into RS-232
Signals which is compatible with AB Integrator in DCS architecture
The KF2 and AB Module are act as link between PLC and DCS
14
PLC System Architecture
The Panelview is used for monitoring the data of the process as well as controlling the operation
It is connected to the 2B channel of the processor
The baud rate used for communication is 57.6 K Programming Terminal for Viewing, Modifying
and Configuring the PLC Programming
15
Signal Flow In PLC
The Field Signals are connected with I/O cards in RIO chassis
Processor taking data from RIO chassis thru Remote I/O link and stores in I/P image tables / memory
The data is being updated on every scan of the PLC
The data is processed in Processor according to the program written
16
Signal Flow In PLC
The result is transferred to the output cards in RIO Chassis.
The Output will be in the terms of 4-20mA or Contacts.
The Processor updates the data on every scan, The scan time is in terms of milliseconds (averagely 40 mS)
17
Signal Flow In PLC
The scan of the processor means processor doing input scan, then program scan, then output scan, service communication and housekeeping. The time taken for completing this activities once is call scan time
18
Signal Flow In PLC
Processor Memory can be divided into two parts
One part contains data files which having All Input/Output status and intermediate flags
Other consists of program files in which ladder program has written
19
System Redundancy
Why Redundancy is required Each PLC 5/40 having redundant processor It is Hot Standby redundancy The BCM cards installed in the Processor
chassis are handling the changeover and important data transfer
The Power Supply cards for I/O chassis are redundant
20
System Redundancy
Redundant DH+ Network for communication with the DCS (A and B network for DCS)
The BEM cards are installed for increasing the no. of communication channels available for networking.
Redundant 1770-KF2 modules for communications with DCS
21
System Redundancy
Both the PLC executes Application program
Primary processor controls the I/O, but Secondary can monitor only
The Switch over between processor is doing by BCM and BEM card
22
PLC 5/40 Details
The front face showing Status LEDs, Communication Ports, Keyswitch, Battery and EEPROM installation
The LEDs are for (from the top) Battery status, Processor status, Force status and Channel 0 communication status
Apart from that, Each port (1A,2A,1B,2B) having their own status LEDs
The steady green shows healthy, Red for fault
23
PLC 5/40 Details
1A and 2A Channels are used for Serial data transfer to DCS on DH+ Network
2B used for Panelview/MMI on PC/Redundant I/Os
1B used for RIO communication Channel 0 is for RS 232/ RS 422
Communication with the PC
24
PLC 5/40 Details
Lithium battery is for retaining the program in Processor when it is Powered OFF.
EEPROM is to provide memory backup when processor memory corrupted
25
PLC Software
The program can written in Ladder Logic, Sequence function charts or Structured text format
We have used Ladder Logic The Programming package is RsLogix5
(Windows based) and 6200 series Software (DOS based)
26
PLC Software
The Software package can load into PC / Laptop
The PC requires KT card and the Laptop requires PCMK card
If KT/PCMK not available, then Processor can communicate on COM port of PC/laptop Serially thru CH0 on processor
27
PLC Software
The RsLinx software is also required for the Communication over the network and serially
The PLC program is protected with 4 different level access passwords
In our complex, there is no password for the Reading the program online
28
Man-Machine interface
The Operator interface monitor for Allen-Bradley PLC is called Panelview
The Panelview can - Display process graphics - Display various digital indications - Display various Analog signals from
transmitters mounted in field - Start/Stop of Motors - Varying Set points
29
Man-Machine interface
The Panelview can
- Controller Auto/manual mode change
- Sequence start command
- Acknowledgement and Reset of Alarms
- History of Alarms
30
Diagnosis
There are status LEDs on the processor face The first LED is battery status indicator, if it glows
RED, then Either the battery is low or missing If the Second LED is steady green, processor is
healthy If it is flashing red, the program downloading is
under progress or major fault, for steady red, hardware fault
The force glows steady amber when any I/P or O/P are forced in the program
31
Diagnosis
If Communication LED flashing green, the Channel 0 communication is working
Any of the channel status LED glowing steady green, then that channel is healthy
If it glows flashing Green, bad communication
When it is red, adaptor fault
