PLC Motor Programming

This document provides a PLC program for forward and reverse control of a 3-phase asynchronous motor. The program uses two contactors for motor control and inputs from forward, reverse, and stop push buttons. The ladder logic features two networks - one for forward motor operation and one for reverse. It uses latching contacts to prevent simultaneous forward and reverse operation, along with interlocks between the push buttons. Safety is ensured by adding a motor trip input contact in series.

PLC Program for Forward/Reverse control of 3 Phase Asynchronous Motor.

This is PLC Program for Forward/Reverse control for 3 Phase Asynchronous Motor.

Problem Description

There are lots of motors and conveyors used in industries for different purposes.
In some cases motors or conveyors need forward and reverse operation for some
control purpose.
For example overhead crane, in crane every time operators moves it forward and
reverse for material handling.
So we can use PLC systems for programming the motor for forward/reverse operation.

Problem Solution
st

In this case we need to operate motor in both direction, that can be possible only by
In

forward/Reverse Control Relay Circuit or through Logic.


Here we solve this problem by using simple Forward/Reverse Control Logic in the PLC.
So here we will consider one 3 phase motor for Forward and Reverse Operation.
And we will take two contactors or relays for motor control because we need two
different directions here i.e. Forward/Reverse. First contactor for Forward Direction
control and Second contactor for Reverse Direction control of Motor.
Also we should consider three push buttons i.e. for forward, reverse and stop functions
of motor.
So here operator will use FWD PB for forward operation, REV PB for reverse operation
and STOP PB for stop function.

Ladder Logic Description

In this application, we will use Siemens S7-1200 PLC and TIA Portal Software for
programming. We can also design this logic with relay circuit.
This circuit is also known as Forward/Reverse control for 3 Phase Induction Motor.
We will write logic for forward condition in Network 1. Here we use the NO contact of
FWD PB (I0.0) for forward operation of the motor, we are using push button so we need
to use one NO contact of motor forward output coil (Q0.0) for latching purpose. (Push
button only provides momentary contact and we need to latch the action so motor
forward coil contact will be used)
Put NC contact of motor reverse output (Q0.1) in series for unlatching the circuit
because both forward and reverse should not run at the same time.
Now write the logic for reverse condition in network 2.Here we will take NO contact of
REV PB (I0.2) for motor reverse function and also take one more NO contact of the
motor reverse output coil(Q0.1) for latching the motor reverse output (QO.1). (Push
button only provides momentary contact and we need to latch the action so motor

forward coil contact will be used)


Here also put NC contact of motor forward output coil (Q0.0) in series for unlatching the
circuit because both forward and reverse should not run at the same time.
For interlocking purpose put NC contact of FWD PB (I0.0) in series with REV PB (I0.2)
and put NC contact of REV PB (I0.2) in series with FWD PB (I0.0).
Put NC Contact in series in both network so operator can stop forward or reverse
rotation by pressing STOP PB
Here we have used OLR for Protection of motor so add NC contact of Motor trip (I0.3) in
series in both the network for motor protection
