Binary to Gray Code Conversion in PLC

This is a PLC Program to Implement Binary to Gray Code Conversion.

Problem Description

Implementing Binary to Gray Code conversion in PLC using Ladder Diagram programming language.

Problem Solution
  • In Gray Code only one bit changes at a time.
  • Write truth table showing the relation between Binary as input and Gray code as output.
  • To obtain these equations, Karnaugh-Map method is again used.
  • For each Gray code output D3, D2, D1 and D0, write Karnaugh-Map.
  • From the K-Map, obtaining a simplified expression for each Gray Code output in terms of Binary inputs.
  • Realize the code converter using the Logic Gates.
  • By following actual process to convert Binary into Gray Code, Truth Table can be written as given below.

Truth Table relating Binary to BCD

Decimal	Binary input	                Gray Code output
	B3	B2	B1	B0	D3	D2	D2	D0
0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
1	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	1
2	0	0	1	0	0	0	1	1
3	0	0	1	1	0	0	1	0
4	0	1	0	0	0	1	1	0
5	0	1	0	1	0	1	1	1
6	0	1	1	0	0	1	0	1
7	0	1	1	1	0	1	0	0
8	1	0	0	0	1	1	0	0
9	1	0	0	1	1	1	0	1
10	1	0	1	0	1	1	1	1
11	1	0	1	1	1	1	1	0
12	1	1	0	0	1	0	1	0
13	1	1	0	1	1	0	1	1
14	1	1	1	0	1	0	0	1
15	1	1	1	1	1	0	0	0

Boolean expression for each BCD bits can be written as

 D3= m(8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
 D2= m(4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
 D1= m(2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13)
 D0= m(1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14)

Program Description
  • RUNG000 to RUNG003 are to obtain D3 to D0 Gray Code output.
  • Output D3 (O:2/0) is same as input B3 (I:1/0).
  • Output D2 (O:2/1) is obtained by EX-ORing B3 (I:1/0) and B2 (I:1/1).
  • Output D1 (O:2/2) is obtained by EX-ORing B3 (I:1/1) and B1 (I:1/2).
  • Output D0 (O:2/3) is obtained by EX-ORing B2 (I:1/2) and B0 (I:1/3).
  • This program description is also the actual process to convert any BCD number into Gray Code.
