Design a STOP START circuit for a large air extractor fan motor.
Requirements are as follows: Use a simulator, Open the IO simulator from simulation option, write the PLC program, put the simulator in run mode, use the IO simulator contacts and check the function of the ladder logic.
Use the first two pushbuttons at the top of the IO simulator to run the motor ie both NO for START & STOP
When stopped, the motor may not be started again for seconds.Motor needs to cool down, before it is allowed to run again
After starts, the motor may not be allowed to start again for a sixth time.In industry, a motor must be stopped after or whatever operations, so that it can be subject to engineering maintenance
A flashing light must come on whilst the motor is running in its fifth and last operation, to indicate that the motor service is due for a service as soon as it stops.
Once the motor has stopped after the fifth time, the flashing light must only be constantly on ie no flashing operation This indicates that the motor will not start again, until the maintenance has been conducted and completed.
After engineering maintenance is performed, the electrician must switch a keyswitch on and off eg bottom switch of the simulator to reset the motor, and allow it to operate from the beginning
