PLC Training: Exercise #2 Solution with RSLogix 5000

With those posts i will show how to use  RSLogix 5000 and Emulate 5000 to simulate a simple program.

I will also cover all the steps that are needed to realize a program with ladder logic and a simple sequence, to give a sample on how you could base your automation projects.

Realize the automation of the following Filling system:

Outputs:
- Motor contactor (contactor O:2/0) moves the conveyor
- Solenoid valve (contactor O:2/1) to fill the boxes
- Run pilot lamp (O:2/2) activated when the machine is running
- Fill pilot lamp (O:2/3) activated when the machine is filling
- Full pilot lamp (O:2/4) activated when the box on conveyor is full

Inputs:
- Start Push button (I:0/0)
- Stop  Push Button (I:0/1)
- Prox Sensor (I:0/2) the box is in position on his right falling edge
- Level Sensor (I:0/3) the box is full when the sensor is ON
- Three-state Selector:
I:0/4 for Continous mode
I:0/5 for Manual Restart (after a box is full, this will bring the box out of level sensor and bring a new box in position)
I:0/6 for Filling bypass
