PLC Programming Example – Delay Starting of 7 Motors

We will apply the five steps to PLC Program development to our next programming example. We will look at a PLC programming example of delaying the start of 7 motors. Each motor will be on a switch that the operator can select at any time. The motor outputs should have a 5-second delay between the outputs coming on. More information can be obtained on our website. https://accautomation.ca/plc-programming-example-delay-starting-of-7-motors This question originally came from PLCTalk.net. An original solution to the problem came from Peter Steinhoff. His solution is what we will be presenting. It is simple and straight forward. 1.Define the task 2.Define the inputs and outputs 3.Develop a logical sequence of operation 4.Develop the PLC program 5.Test the program https://www.accautomation.ca
