List of inputs
• Infrared sensor: I:1/0
• Closing limit switch: I:1/1
• Opening limit switch: I:1/2
List of outputs
• Opening motor: O: 2/0
• Closing motor: O: 2/1
Problem Solution
• In this system when someone enters the infrared sensing field, opening motor starts working
to open the door automatically till the door touches the door opening limit switch.
• If the door touches the opening limit switch for 8sec and no body enters the sensing
field/area, then closing motor starts to close the door automatically till the door touches the
closing limit switch.
• Stop the closing action immediately if someone enters the sensing field during the door
closing process.

Program Description
Network 1: When infrared sensor is detected (I:1/0), door opening motor (O:2/0) will start. The door will be
open. When it touches the close limit switch (I:1/1), opening motor will be stop.
Network 2: When the door touches the opening limit switch (I:1/2), timer will be executed.
Network 3: After 10 seconds time closing motor (O:2/1) will start. When it touches the closing limit switch,
closing motor will turn OFF.

b) Automatic Elevator control
Problem Description
Design a PLC program to execute the elevator system Call buttons in a 4-floor apartment using Allen
Bradley PLC programming.
Problem Diagram
In the above picture, there are totally four floors. There are two user panels. One is inside the lift and other is
outside the lift. Limit switches are used to locate and stop the lift at each floor. Priority is given to the
Outside Call input.
