PLC Control Traffic Light Control application Training System

FEATURES

The PLC (Allen-Bradley/Siemens) system is equipped with 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs, providing the necessary I/O capabilities for various industrial automation tasks. It also features Ethernet communication support, enabling seamless integration into industrial networks for control and diagnostics. The system comes with PLC programming software, allowing users to program the PLC using standard languages such as ladder logic or structured text. The training system is an educational tool used for teaching students and engineers about traffic light control systems, automation, and PLC programming. This system simulates how real-world traffic light systems function, helping learners understand the interactions between inputs (timers) and outputs (such as traffic lights) controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Real-world components like proximity sensors, selector switches, visual and audio indicators, DC motors, relays, contactors, and voltage displays offer students hands-on, practical experience with equipment they might encounter in the field.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The PLC has 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs, and Ethernet communication facility. The system includes 8 toggle switches, 5 push-to-ON switches, 1 proximity sensor, 1 selector switch, 4 visual indicators, 1 audio indicator, 1 DC motor, 1 relay card containing 2 relays, 1 contactor, and 1 traffic light module.

EXPERIMENTS

Program operation of NO (normally open) and NC (normally closed) instructions, types of logic gates, set and reset bit, timers, counters, types of compare instructions, and types of math functions. Study of traffic lights. Study and use of memory bits and timers. Traffic light control by PLC through ladder programming. Study of signal indications for two directions. Students will gain practical experience with controlling multiple devices (LEDs, sensors, actuators) in a coordinated manner. Students will understand how timers and counters are used in automation to sequence events, such as switching from green to yellow to red.
