This is a PLC program to implement Excess-3 to BCD converter.
Problem Description
Implementing Excess-3 to BCD conversion in PLC using Ladder Diagram programming language
Problem Solution
- BCD can be derived from Excess-3 code by reversing the process used in conversion of BCD to Excess-3 code which is to subtract 0011 or 0011 0011 from given BCD number.
- For example, Decimal number 12 is represented as 0100 0101 in Excess-3 code. If we subtract 3 (0011 0011) from given Excess-3 code, then the corresponding BCD is 0001 0010.
- Write the truth table relating Excess-3 and BCD.
- Write Karnaugh-Map for each output and obtain simplified expression.
- Implement Excess-3 code to BCD converter using Logic Gates.
- Implement Logic Gates’ circuit in PLC using Ladder Diagram programming language.

Ladder Diagram to obtain Excess-3 code output
Program Description
- By simply reversing the process of BCD to Excess-3 Code conversion, BCD can be derived from given Excess-3 code.
- RUNG000 to RUNG003 are for BCD bits B3 to B0 respectively.
- Simplified expression is converted into Logic Circuit and the circuit is implemented in Ladder Diagram as shown in fig above.
- RUNG000 is for B3 in which two AND gates and output of these gates are ORed together to form bit B3. I:1/0, I:1/2, I:1/3 are connected in series as an AND gate and I:1/0, I:1/1 are connected similarly in series.
- Output of these AND gates (E3E2E1 and E3E2) are connected in parallel to each other contributing as OR function.
- Similarly all other inputs in Rungs are connected.
