Scenario: You are in your first year as HNC engineer and have been seconded into the Engineering Production Department. You are required to produce a report for your line manager on operational characteristics of a PLC system. Your report should include and describe the operational characteristics of a PLC system, Programming, and communication techniques. Task 1: 1.1 PLC can be classified according to the physical size, and application. List and describe types of PLC and the key differences of construction styles and their typical applications and advantages. 1.2 PLC architecture refers to the design specification of the various PLC hardware and software components. Briefly, describe the Function of each block of a typical PLC. Include labelled diagram. 1.3 There are several types of PLC Programming languages all are part of IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission. Briefly explain, with labelled diagram wherever possible different types of the programming methods (programming languages). 1.4 PLC work in variety of industrial applications, different PLC may be working in different signal of I/O modules. PLC system there will usually be dedicated modules for inputs and dedicated modules for outputs. Research to identify the following: Determine types of PLC input and output devices/sensors available, PLC analogy Inputs and signals, and two types of sensors: Analog and Discrete. 1.5 Research to identify different types of communication Techniques and communication protocol for PLC. You need to include and use labelled diagrams/figures to illustrate the descriptions.
