17Notes on safetyThe following notes should be followed in the interest of safety: Mount all components securely on the board. Do not switch on compressed air until all line connections have beenestablished and secured. Proceed with care when switching on the compressed air.Cylinders may advance or retract as soon as the compressed air isswitched on. Switch off air supply immediately if air lines become detached. Thisprevents accidents. Do not disconnect air lines under pressure. Do not exceed the permitted working pressure of 8 bar (800kPa). Observe general safety regulations in accordance with EN 60204-1(IEC 60204-1). Use only extra-low voltages of up to 24 V DC. Observe the data sheets referring to the individual components, inparticular all notes regarding safety.Festo Didactic TP301

A-4Exercise 1The basic components of the control system are: Programmable logic controller (PLC)By this, we understand the electronic modules through which all ofthe system or machine functions to be controlled are addressed andactivated in a logic sequence. SensorsThese components are located directly on the system or machinerybe controlled, through to which the PLC is communicated actualstatuses. ActuatorsThese components are located directly on the system or machinery tobe controlled, through which the PLC is able to change or influencestatuses and as such the technical process. PC or programming deviceThis is used to create the program containing the logic of the systemor machinery to be controlled and to transfer this to the memory of thePLC. At the same time, these programming tools also provide supporting functions for the testing of the PLC program and commissioning of the controller. Display and control unitsThese enables you to monitor and influence the operation of the system or machinery.Programmable logic controllerThe most important component of a control system is the PLC and itsprogram.

A-5Exercise 1A PLC is connected to the system to be controlled via input and outputmodules. The system to be controlled supplies input signals (mostly binary) via sensors to the input modules. These signals are processedwithin the main processing unit, the main component of the PLC. Prior.to formulation of IEC standards, known as "central control unit" (CCU).The "specification" for the processing of signals is defined in the PLCprogram. The result of the processing is output to the actuators of thesystem to be controlled via the output module. Thus, the design of aPLC corresponds to that of a computer.PLC programPLC programs consist of a logic sequence of instructions. The controlprogram is stored in a special, electronic readable memory, the so-calledprogram memory of the PLC. Special RAMs with back-up battery areused during the program development, since its contents can always bechanged again very quickly.After commissioning and error-free function of the controller it is a goodidea to transfer the PLC program unerasably to a read-only memory,e.g. an EPROM. If the program is executed, it will be processed incontinuous cycles.SignalsInput signals reach the PLC via sensors. These signals contain information about the status of the system to be controlled. It is possible to inputbinary, digital and analogue signals.A PLC can only recognise and output electrical signals. For this reason,non-electrical signals are converted into electrical signals by the sensors. Sensor examples are: Push buttons, switches, limit switches, proximity sensorsOutput signals influence the system to be controlled. The signals can beoutput in the form of binary, digital or analogue signals. Output signalsare amplified into switching signals via the actuators or converted intosignals of other energy forms. Actuators examples are: Lamps, buzzers, bells, contactors, cylinders with solenoid valves,stepper motorsTP301 Festo Didactic
