Question Bank – PLC and SCADA (21EEE423A)

1. Describe the architecture of a PLC with a neat diagram.


2. Discuss the need for timers and counters in a PLC.

3. Develop the Ladder diagrams with truth table for the following logic:
i) NAND
ii) NOR
Iii) NOT
4. Explain the scan cycle of PLC with a neat diagram.
5. List and explain any four of the hardware components of a SCADA network.
6. A simple start stop control of a motor has to be automated using a PLC. Develop a
ladder logic diagram and discuss the working of the developed ladder diagram.
7. Discuss the concept of HMI/MMI with various components.
8. Compare relay logic and PLC working.

9. An open tank is installed in the plant and the liquid level is to be controlled. When
level reaches the Level Low, outlet flow is blocked and inlet flow is allowed until high
level is achieved. And when Level High is detected, outlet flow is allowed and inlet
flow is blocked. Develop a ladder diagram for the given application.
10. A PLC is used to implement an automatic door opening control system. It should
automatically open the door when a person comes in the vicinity of it. The door
should close only when the person enters or after a predefined time limit. Develop
the ladder diagram for the process and explain its operation.
11. A feeder drops material on the conveyor which sends material for further process
through one more conveyor. Conveyor must start automatically when material is
dropped on it. Develop a ladder diagram for the process.

12. A lamp has to be connected to a PLC for Switching ON and OFF with push buttons.
Discuss the connection with a wiring diagram and operation of each push button with
a simple ladder diagram.
13. An artificial pond has to be filled automatically with the water available from a
secondary source. The water from the pond should not overflow and fall below a
predefined level. Draw the schematic and develop the ladder diagram.

14. List any four type of inputs and outputs available in a PLC.
15. An automotive part is placed in a mandrel for spray painting. The mandrel is raised to
the painting hood when the process is started. The paint spray operation is to be
carried out for predefined time set by the operator. Develop the ladder diagram for
the same.
16. A fan is to be switched ON or OFF from one of the three locations. Implement the
system using a PLC.
17. A light exterior to the house needs to be switched ON for an additional 42 seconds
after all the lights are switched OFF. An additional light in the parking area should be
ON for 3 minutes while the exterior light is ON.
Develop a ladder logic diagram.
18. Explain the Man Machine Interface (MMI) and its uses in the industry.
19. Illustrate the ONE SHOT operation of the timers in PLC with an example.
20. List any six input and output devices connected to the PLC.
21. Develop the Ladder diagrams with truth table for the following logic:
i) AND
ii) OR
Iii) NOT
22. Explain the concept of latching in a PLC.
23. A light is to be switched ON and OFF on from any one of the three locations.
Construct a ladder diagram for the said application.
24. Program a DC motor to be controlled using a START and STOP switch using a PLC.
25. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of PLC over relays.
