PART – A (10 x 2 = 20 Marks) BT CO
1. Write the differences between a PLC and a general-purpose computer C CO1

from a hardware and software point of view
2. What is ladder diagram? R CO1
3. List four data manipulation instruction in PLC R CO2
4. Draw a ladder diagram for a Two – Motor system having following R CO2
conditions: i) Starting push buttons starts Motor – 1 ii) After 10
Seconds, Motor-2 is ON iii) Stopping the switch stop Motor -1 and 2
5. Compare SCADA and HMI U CO3

8. What is the need of supervisory control in DCS? R CO4
9. List out the significance of automation in process industries R CO5
10. How PLC is more suitable for process control applications? R CO5
PART – B (5x 13= 65Marks)

11. (a) Draw and explain the architecture of PLC in detail and also [13] U CO1
explain sourcing and sinking
(or)
(b) Explain the functions of analog and digital modules of PLC. [13] U CO1
12. (a) Explain the timers and counters instructions with their types [6] U CO2
(i) and functions in detail.
(ii) Explain any four-control instruction and write the Program for [7] U CO2
converting 80°C Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit.
(F = (9 /5 × C) + 32)
(or)
(b) Consider the fluid storage tank illustrated in Figure 9.10. When [13] U CO2
the start button X1 is depressed, this closes the control relay
C1, which energizes solenoid S1, which opens a valve allowing
fluid to flow into the tank. When the tank becomes full, the
float switch FS closes, which opens relay C1, causing the
solenoid S1 to be de-energized, thus turning off the in-flow.
Switch FS also activates timer T1, which provides a 120-sec
delay for a certain chemical reaction to occur in the tank. At the
end of the delay time, the timer energizes a second relay C2,
which controls two devices: (1) It initiates timer T2, which
waits 90 sec to allow the contents of the tank to be drained, and
(2) it energizes solenoid S2, which opens a valve to allow the
fluid to flow out of the tank. At the end of the 90 sec, the timer
breaks the current and de-energizes solenoid S2, thus closing
the out-flow valve. Depressing the start button X1 resets the
timers and opens their respective contacts. Construct the ladder
logic diagram for the system.
[2]
13. (a) Explain the function of RTU and IED in SCADA system [13] U CO3
(or)
(b) Explain how SCADA can be used in the application of the [13] U CO3
water pumping stations and pipeline monitoring system
14. (a) Explain the different types of DCS displays. State its [13] U CO4
significance
(or)
(b) Explain how DCS can be used in Sugar Industry [13] U CO4
15. (a) Explain the process using PID control in any process industries [13] U CO5
(or)
(b) Explain the process using fuzzy logic-based control in any [13] U CO5
process industries
PART – C (1x 15 = 15 Marks)
16. (a) Using whatever PLC sequencer output instruction, you are [15] A CO2
most familiar with, develop a program that will operate the
cylinders in the desired sequence. The time between each step
is to be 3 seconds. The desired sequence of operation will be as
follows:
• All cylinders to retract.
• Cylinder 1 advance.
• Cylinder 1 retract and cylinder 3 advance.
• Cylinder 2 advance and cylinder 5 advance.
• Cylinder 4 advance and cylinder 2 retract.
• Cylinder 3 retract and cylinder 5 retract.
• Cylinder 6 advance and cylinder 4 retract.
• Cylinder 6 retract.
• Sequence to repeat.
(or)
(b) Develop a material handling application using PLC and [15] A CO2
mention the functions of major components used in it.
