PLC Program to do Mathematical Functions

This is a PLC Program to do Mathematical Functions.

Problem Description

Implement various mathematical functions in PLC using Ladder Diagram programming language.

Problem Solution
  • Use all the Math Instructions to implement various Mathematical Arithmetic Functions.
  • Use ADD to add one piece of data to another.
  • Use SUB to subtract one piece of data from another.
  • Use MUL to multiply one piece of data by another.
  • Use DIV to divide one piece of data by another.
  • Use SQR to find the square root of a piece of data.
  • Use NEG to change the sign of a piece of data.

Program Description
  • Program is very clear to understand.
  • N7:0 to N7:9 contain Integers of which operation is to be performed.
  • In the ADD instruction, data of N7:0 and N7:1 are added and sent to destination which is Display with output address O:6.
  • Similarly all other operations are performed.
  • Though, we must know that the answers stored in the destination are in Hexadecimal form, hence we have to convert this data into BCD form and then send it to display output O:6.
