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 program 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 runs by control programming language.

PLC counter:

A counter is a PLC instruction which counts up or down when the input transfers from an off state (false) to an on state (true).

Explanation of Solution

Forms of PLC counter instructions and its operation:

The PLC counter instructions are basically classified into three different categories as follows:

  • Up Counter
    • This is an instruction whose count will be incremented by one each time when an event occurs.
  • Down Counter
    • This is an instruction whose count will be decremented by one each time when an event occurs.
  • Combined Counter
    • This is an instruction whose count will be either incremented or decremented by one, based on which count input is triggered, each time an even occurs.
    • It is also known as up-down counter.

I cannot program smart home automation rules from my device using a computer or phone, and I would like to know how to properly connect devices such as switches and sensors together ? Cisco Packet Tracer 1. Smart Home Automation:o Connect a temperature sensor and a fan to a home gateway.o Configure the home gateway so that the fan is activated when the temperature exceedsa set threshold (e.g., 30°C).2. WiFi Network Configuration:o Set up a wireless LAN with a unique SSID.o Enable WPA2 encryption to secure the WiFi network.o Implement MAC address filtering to allow only specific clients to connect.3. WLC Configuration:o Deploy at least two wireless access points connected to a Wireless LAN Controller(WLC).o Configure the WLC to manage the APs, broadcast the configured SSID, and applyconsistent security settings across all APs.
