This is a PLC Program to Implement Various Boolean Functions With Don’t Care Condition.
Problem Description
Implement given Boolean Function having don’t care conditions.
F(A,B,C,D)=∑m(0,1,5,9,13,14,15) + d(3,4,7,10,11)
Problem Solution
- Here in this equation inputs are A, B, C, and D and output is F (A, B, C, D) and d(3,4,7,10,11) denotes don’t care condition. To solve this problem, we must first minimize the equation by using Karnaugh-Map method which is given below.
- If don’t care condition exists, it means that output will not get affected by its state. Even if the state is true or false, output remains unchanged.

A = I:1/0 (Input) B = I:1/1 (Input) C = I:1/2 (Input) D = I:1/3 (Input) F(A,B,C,D)= O:2/0 (Output)
Ladder diagram for the give expression
Program Description
- Output F(a,b,c,d)/O:2/0 here will go high in 3 conditions. As we can see from the ladder diagram and in the Boolean function which was solved using Karnaugh Map.
- There are 3 pairs of inputs connected in parallel to each other which represent OR function and connecting each of them pair of two inputs in AND function.
- Output goes high in following three conditions.
- Whenever D, that is when I:1/3 is high irrespective of other input states.
- Whenever A (I:1/0) and C (I:1/1) both are high irrespective of other input states.
- Whenever A (I:1/0) and C (I:1/1) both are low irrespective of other input states.
