Program Plan Intro

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):

  • Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a specialized computer used in industrial segments to control machines and process.
  • PLC is programmable that consists of a set of instructions which resembles the controlling functions needed to perform specific tasks.
  • The function of PLC is similar to that of a relay and hence, in an industrial segment a relay is greatly replaced by a suitable PLC.
  • When compared to general Personal Computer (PC), a PLC is available in small and tiny sizes.
  • The basic architecture of a PLC consists of an input-output interface module and a small Central Processing Unit (CPU) that run by control programming language.

Explanation of Solution

b.

Test mode:

  • Test mode is also known as virtual mode.
  • This mode is used to operate and monitor the user program without energizing any outputs.
  • Test mode is mainly divided into three types as follows:
    • Single-step test mode:

Explanation of Solution

c.

Run mode:

  • Run mode is used to execute the user program in the machine with the input devices being monitored and the output devices being energized accordingly...

Scenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…
