INTRODUCTION ________________________________________________________________________________________
This is the second lesson in the topic of ladder diagrams and it deals with
various aspects related to their use with PLCs.
PLC ladder diagrams will essentially become computer programs and, as such,
are used and behave in different ways from their hard-wired equivalents.
Some of these differences are highlighted in this lesson together with the
symbols used and the importance of a suitable identification system.
The lesson also introduces internal memory relays which are common to all
PLCs. These and other circuit elements are used in practice exercises to
provide examples of ladder diagrams.
The logic theme is continued from Lesson 1 and is developed so that rungs of a
ladder may be presented in statement form instead of diagram form. Such
'Boolean' statements are used as a programming method in some PLCs.

PLC LADDER DIAGRAMS ________________________________________________________________________________________
In the previous lesson we examined the basics of ladder diagrams as they are
used in the electrical industry. The next stage, covered by this lesson, is to
convert the ladder diagrams so that they become suitable for the purpose of
programming a PLC. Simple circuit diagram examples are again used.
The formats of PLC and hard-wired ladder diagrams are exactly the same.
Two vertical lines represent the power supply rails across which are placed the
rungs. The load must be sited at the end of each rung immediately before the
right hand (or negative) rail. The circuit switching components, from now on
called rung elements, connect between the left hand (or positive) rail and the
rung load.
When ladder diagrams were drawn in the previous lesson they were
representative of those used in industry. Such diagrams use symbols which are
similar to circuit diagram symbols found in the British Standards
Specifications (BS 3939). The first problem, for programming purposes, is
that the BS symbols are too numerous and varied to be used for PLCs and so,
to reduce this variety, the same symbol may be used for more than one
purpose. This essentially reduces the readability by removing some of the
information which would have been present in a hard-wired ladder diagram.
This is unfortunate but cannot be avoided. However, some of the lost
information may be replaced by the identification system being used. To
illustrate this point consider the section of an electrical ladder diagram given as
FIGURE 1.

EXAMPLE 1
FIG. 1
An electrician would recognise the symbols and would also be able to visualise
the actual components being used.
If this diagram is converted for use with a PLC then it is likely to become as
shown in FIGURE 2.
FIG. 2
The push-to-make switch and the single pole switch both share the same
symbol, that of normally open contacts. The bell now becomes a generalised
symbol for a rung load or rung output.
Clearly information is lost because the generalised symbols of rung elements
are not the same as the specific symbols used in FIGURE 1. Each rung
element must therefore be clearly and accurately identified.
If push 1 and switch 1 are inputs to a PLC and the bell is driven by an output
from the PLC then the I/O identification system must show this. In the lesson
4
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)

concerned with I/O identification it was stated that, for our purposes, each
input would be prefixed with X and each output prefixed with Y. The rung of
FIGURE 2 would then become:
FIG. 3
The numbers following the X and Y indicate the terminal number to which the
circuit component is connected.
With the identification shown:
Push 1 would be connected between input terminal 0 and the input
common.
Switch 1 would be connected between input terminal 1 and the input
common.
The bell (with its own supply) would be connected between output
terminal 0 and the output common.
So the ladder diagram indicates which terminals the devices are connected to
but it gives no indication of the type of device being used – hence the need for
input and output designation charts which were covered in a previous lesson.

PCL LADDER DIAGRAM SYMBOLS AND THEIR MEANING ________________________________________________________________________________________
Due to generalised symbols being used there are very few to learn with the
result that people new to programming find it easy to handle them.
We will now examine some of the symbols used for simple diagrams while
leaving other symbols (for devices not yet considered) to a later lesson.
Symbols can be classified as being:
(a) at the beginning of a rung
(b) in the middle of a rung, or
(c) at the end of a rung.
The table of FIGURE 4 indicates these generalised symbols together with
variations in manufacturers' abbreviations for the function of each.

ADVANTAGES OF PLC LADDER DIAGRAMS ________________________________________________________________________________________
There are specific advantages in using a PLC to simulate a hard-wired system.
This section of the lesson deals with some of them. If you have an electrical
background you will, no doubt, be amused at what can be achieved by
programming.
A PLC ladder diagram may possess elements which are not available as
physical devices. This may seem strange but in actual fact some devices
shown on a diagram may actually be replaced by parts of the microcomputer
memory.
For example, internal relays are imaginary relays which do not exist in the
form of the physical relays described in Topic 2. They are, in fact, memory
cells of the computer.
Additionally, relays may be assumed to possess multiple numbers of contacts
which are electrically isolated from each other even though they do not
actually exist in that form.
Also the same contacts may appear in a diagram more than once, though this is
not the case in the physical circuit.
To illustrate what is meant by the section above we will examine one or two
problems and show how these advantages are really useful.
Lesson 1 in this topic presented a problem under the section headed
'Circuit/Ladder Design'. We shall now repeat this problem with a view to
obtaining a PLC ladder diagram solution.

EXAMPLE 2
Design a switching circuit, to be laid out in PLC ladder diagram format, which
will operate a relay from suitable combinations of four switches.
The relay must be energised if:
Switch 1 and switch 2 are both closed
OR Switch 3 and switch 4 are both closed
OR Switch 1 and switch 3 are both closed.
We can write this down as:
Relay = (1 AND 2) OR (3 AND 4) OR (1 AND 3)
This problem must be solved by a software solution and not by a hardware
solution.
The four switches would be connected between their respective input terminals
and the input common. The diode which was required for the hardware
solution will not be needed for a software solution. Instead, the ladder diagram
will be drawn as if the input switches had multiple contacts. In fact the
program is said to interrogate the state of the inputs a multiple number of
times.
The ladder diagram for the PLC solution will be built-up in stages.

First Stage
The relay must operate if switch 1 and switch 2 are closed. The rung for this is
shown as FIGURE 5.
R1 = (1 AND 2)
FIG. 5
Second Stage
The relay must operate if switch 3 and switch 4 are closed. The rung for this is
shown as FIGURE 6.
R1 = (3 AND 4)
FIG. 6
Notice that the same relay is being used for both rungs but it only exists once.
In most PLCs programming these two rungs would cause, what is called, a coil
duplication error. To avoid this error the two rungs should be combined to
drive an output to the common relay. FIGURE 7 shows this solution.
10
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)
© Teesside University 2011
R1 = (1 AND 2) OR (3 AND 4)
FIG. 7
So far in the solution the diagram looks very much like the hardware solution
of the previous lesson (without the diode).
Third Stage
The relay must operate if switch 1 and switch 3 are closed. The rung for this is
shown in FIGURE 8.
R1 = (1 AND 3)
FIG. 8
What do we need to do with this rung?
________________________________________________________________________________________
11
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)
© Teesside University 2011
Here again a common relay is being used and so this rung should be combined
with the diagram of FIGURE 7. The overall solution would then become as
shown in FIGURE 9:
R1 = (1 AND 2) OR (3 AND 4) OR (1AND 3)
FIG. 9
Notice that there appear to be two inputs called X001 and two inputs called
X003, when in fact only one switch is used for each. This would obviously be
an impossible hardware solution if single pole switches were used but it is an
acceptable software solution – the reason for this and the operation of the
solution to the problem will become clear in subsequent lessons.
We are now at the stage where you can attempt to provide ladder diagram
solutions to stated problems.

EXERCISE 1
Consider a situation where the operation of three single pole switches is to be
monitored by the use of six indicator lamps.
The following list provides the monitoring requirements:
Lamp 1 will light up if switch 1 is closed
Lamp 2 will light up if switch 2 is closed
Lamp 3 will light up if switch 3 is closed
Lamp 4 will light up if switch 1 and switch 2 are closed
Lamp 5 will light up if switch 2 and switch 3 are closed
Lamp 6 will light up if switch 3 and switch 1 are closed
If this operation were to be hard-wired then either three triple pole switches or
three relays with three sets of N/O contacts would be needed. If a PLC is to be
used then three single pole switches may be connected between inputs 1, 2 and
3 and the input common. The lamps are to be connected in order from output
0 through to output 5.
Complete the partially drawn diagram of FIGURE 10.
13
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)

FIG. 10
The solution to the problem is shown on page 31.
The diagram would have us believe that nine switches are being used when in
fact only three exist. Each of the three switches appears three times in the
diagram. The six rungs are all separate i.e. in parallel across the supply rails.
Now change the diagram of FIGURE 10 so that the monitoring operation
becomes:
Lamp 1 will light up if switch 1 is closed
Lamp 2 will light up if switch 2 is closed
Lamp 3 will light up if switch 3 is closed
Lamp 4 will light up if any two switches are closed
Lamp 5 will light up if all three switches are closed
Lamp 6 is not now used.

No changes are necessary to the hard-wiring.

INTERNAL MEMORY RELAYS ________________________________________________________________________________________
Internal (or memory) relays are not, as was previously stressed, physical relays
or output relays. They are internal memory cells within the microcomputer of
the PLC which are treated as if they were actual relays. They can appear in
ladder diagrams and can be used instead of an output relay when a drive to an
output circuit is not required. The use of internal relays can reduce the size of
programs which may be very important in situations where memory capacity is
limited.
The generalised output symbol is normally used together with a prefix or code
e.g. MR000 (for memory relay 0) or, as in our case, R000 for this same relay.
Consider the case below where a memory relay is used to save memory space
and at the same time improve the readability of a section of a program.
EXAMPLE 3
FIGURE 12 shows a ladder diagram having three rungs. The outputs are all
actual relays which can be used to drive circuit loads.
16
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)
© Teesside University 2011
FIG. 12
Examination of the diagram shows that there is a degree of commonality in the
rungs, i.e. each rung contains contacts from inputs X000 through to X003. If
these contacts are extracted from the diagram and given a rung of their own to
drive a memory relay then the original three rungs become easier to read. This
is shown by the next diagram.
FIG. 13
17
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)
© Teesside University 2011
The diagrams of FIGURE 12 and FIGURE 13 will behave in similar ways
when operated by a PLC. The diagram of FIGURE 13 should be easier to
follow. It also requires less programming because fewer elements exist in the
diagram. (There are 18 elements in FIGURE 12 and 14 elements in
FIGURE 13.)
Notice that the diagram of FIGURE 13 shows a set of contacts for memory
relay R000 on each of rungs 2, 3 and 4. If R000 were a physical relay then it
would need to have three sets of isolated contacts but R000 is not an actual
relay (it is, remember, a memory cell behaving as a relay i.e. being turned on
and off).
So far we have established that:
• a ladder diagram may show an input (or a set of relay contacts) more
than once
and
• an imaginary relay (called an internal relay) may be used within a
ladder diagram.
Some PLCs have only a small number of internal relays available to the user
whereas others have hundreds. However many there are, they must all be
identified individually because they are separate and unique memory cells.
The identifying number is often called the relay address.

EXERCISE 2
In this exercise a hard-wired circuit is to be implemented by the use of a PLC.
It must, therefore, be converted into a PLC ladder diagram for programming
purposes.
Push 1 is connected to input 3
Push 2 is connected to input 5
Push 3 is connected to input 7
Limit switch is connected to input 2
R1 and R2 are to be internal relays (R000 and R001)
Indicator 1 is to be driven by output 6
Indicator 2 is to be driven by output 5
Using the above input and output designations convert the diagram of
FIGURE 14 into a correctly identified PLC ladder diagram.
Do this by completing FIGURE 15 on the next page. A solution is given on
page 33.

EXAMPLE 4
Now consider the diagram of FIGURE 16. This is a section of a ladder
diagram which uses inputs, outputs and internal memory relays.
We will examine this diagram to ascertain its circuit operation. (Remember
that X means input, R means internal memory relay and Y means a physical
output.)
We will also use this diagram to explain a slightly different way of writing
down an expression to represent each rung of the ladder.
FIG. 16
A convention previously outlined will be used during the circuit examination
i.e. working from the top left of the diagram, going across the rung and
continuing down the page.

Rung 1
X000 is an input switch which is normally open. If this switch closes then a
current can flow along rung 1, through X000 and through the normally closed
input of X001. This current would switch on the internal relay R000. When
R000 is switched on (i.e. energised) then all N/O contacts with R000 reference
will close. Rung 1 now has the possibility of supplying current to the R000
relay, via X001, by either of two paths – X000 contacts are closed and so too
are the R000 contacts. If the input switch X000 now opens, the supply to
R000 relay will be flowing through its own R000 contacts. This means that
once energised R000 will remain energised unless the flow of current is
interrupted by opening the X001 switch. Relay R000 is said to be self
retaining.
Rung 2
If the R000 relay is energised (as already described) then the R000 normally
open contacts in rung 2 will be closed and will remain closed until the R000
relay is de-energised. For internal relay R001 to become energised the input
switch X002 will need to be closed at the same time as the R000 contacts are
closed. If this happens, R001 will energise and all contacts carrying that
reference will operate. If, at any time, X002 opens or R000 de-energises then
internal relay R001 will de-energise.
Rung 3
Whenever internal relay R001 is energised the R001 contacts in rung 3 will
close with the consequence that output Y000 will be driven on.
22
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)
© Teesside University 2011
The overall operation of the circuit is such that the output Y000 can only be on
if X002 input is closed and X001 is closed and has been ever since X000 was
last closed.
The three rungs of this ladder diagram may be described in statements. Some
PLCs are programmed by a statement method.
Consider the first rung:
FIG. 17
X000 and R000 are in parallel. Either X000 OR R000 could close to allow a
current through, therefore these two contacts would be stated as:
(X000 OR R000)
These contacts are in series with the normally closed input of X001 and series
connections are defined by the AND expression. In this case if X001 has NOT
been operated then current can flow to the output of the rung. Therefore, the
X001 contact is stated as:
AND NOT X001
This is written as AND X001
23
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)

The total expression for rung 1 then becomes
expressed as:
Note that:
the + sign stands for logical OR
the . sign stands for logical AND
the —— (bar) means the inverse or logical NOT
Logic expressions written down in this way are called Boolean Algebra
statements.
Now you write down the Boolean statements for rung 2 and rung 3.
Rung 2 .....................................................................................................................................
Rung 3 .....................................................................................................................................

Check your answers against those given on page 33.

X000 OR R000 AND X001 R( ) = 000

EXERCISE 3
Now draw a rung of a ladder to satisfy the following Boolean expression.
FIG. 18
This diagram is shown as FIGURE 22 on page 27 but do not check yours
against that one just yet.
Examine the rungs that you have drawn as FIGURE 18.
There are many possible paths for a current to flow along from the positive
supply rail to energise the relay.
How many different paths can you find?
________________________________________________________________________________________
Your answer should be six.

FIG. 19
Now re-examine your diagram of FIGURE 19. This diagram could represent a
'first attempt' ladder diagram which can be improved by being simplified. To
do this we examine each rung searching for common elements i.e. the same
numbered element appearing in every rung.
If any are found then they are extracted and are placed in the rung alongside
the common output element. In the diagram of FIGURE 19 R001 is common
to all rungs and so it is extracted.
The diagram is now simplified to become FIGURE 20.
27
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)

FIG. 20
The diagram can now be further simplified by extraction of elements which
occur in some, but not all, parts of a rung.
X005 occurs in three parts and occurs in three different parts. These
spearate occurrences can be collected and placed in a further simplified
drawing, shown as FIGURE 21.
X003
28
Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)

FIG. 21
Notice that the diagram is being simplified by working away from the output
towards the supply rail.
The last remaining common elements are in the form of two sets of (X001 OR
X002 OR R000). These can be combined to form the final, fully simplified,
version of the six paths which we started with. FIGURE 22 shows the finished
diagram.
Check this diagram against your diagram of FIGURE 18 – they should be the
same. This is not surprising because we have really worked away from this
diagram and then worked back to it. In practice the unsimplified version
would provide the starting point.
29

FIG. 22
Simplifying a ladder diagram provides a diagram with less elements and this
allows the human eye to take in the information more easily i.e. the diagram
becomes easier to read. Further to this, any reduction in the number of
elements reduces the program size when keying-in this diagram to become a
PLC program. Less time is needed at the programming stage and less
computer memory is needed to hold this simplified version.
Now attempt the Self-Assessment Questions on page 34.

SUMMARY ________________________________________________________________________________________
The lesson started with the foundations of PLC ladder diagrams; the symbols
in common use, the likely loss of and possible retrieval of some of the
diagrammatic information when converting from hard-wired ladder to PLC
ladder.
Simple diagrams involving switching sequences were used to show some of
the methods of design and to stress the advantages gained by using PLCs
instead of hard wiring.
The differences between internal and external relays were specified, together
with their advantages. Both may be called relays but a clear distinction must
be made between them because confusion can arise.
Boolean statements were introduced as an alternative method of expressing the
contents of particular rungs and the interconnections employed between
elements. This method is in itself very valuable because it provides a way of
expressing the actual rung without the need to draw it out. Additionally, some
PLCs may be programmed by this method and so it is wise to become familiar
with it at this stage.
The lesson finished by looking at ladder rung simplification techniques. Such
techniques make the final version of the ladder diagram easier to read and
allow it to be programmed more quickly. It will also take up less memory
space when programmed into the machine.
