I. Introduction
A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial computer control
system that constantly monitors the input devices and makes decisions based upon
a custom program to control the output devices. Almost any production line,
machine function, or process can be significantly improved using this control
A PLC program is usually written on a computer and then is downloaded to
the controller. Most PLC programming software offers programming in Ladder
Logic, or “C”. Ladder Logic is the traditional programming language It mimics
circuit diagrams with “rungs” of logic read left to right. Each rung represents a
specific action controlled by the PLC, starting with an input or series of inputs
(contacts) that result in an output (coil). Because of its visual nature, Ladder Logic
can be easier to implement than many other programming languages.

AND Function states that two or more events must occur together and at the
same time for an output action to occur. The order in which these actions occur is
unimportant as it does not affect the final result. For example, A & B = B & A. In
Boolean algebra the Logic AND Function follows the Commutative Law which
allows a change in position of either variable.

II. Objectives
a. To be able to Design and construct indirect AND function on the PLC
system using the CoDeSys software.
b. To be able to construct a custom program that satisfy the required of the
given situation or problem.
c. To be familiarized with the operation and principle of PLC and its
programming sequence.
III. Problem Description

Using a cutting device sheets of paper are to be cut to size.

By pressing two pushbutton switches the cutting blade is advanced and the
sheet of paper is cut. After releasing one pushbutton switch the cutting
blade is returned to its start position.

IV. Procedure

1. First set up the programm in CoDeSys by creating a new file, choosing the
FESTO CPX-CEC/CPX-CEC-C1, type of POU (Program Organization
Unit) and use the Program and Ladder (LD) respectively, and configuring
the plc to be used by appending 8DIN/8DOUT [VAR] PLC.
2. Determine how many Inputs and Outputs to be used in the PLC from the
settings.
3. Set two inputs and one output in the program by addressing it to the input
and output adress of the PLC. For input %IX2.0 and %IX2.1 is used and
%QX0.0 for the output.
4. K1 is has no adressed which will be the compiler and the PLC as a relay.
5. Construct a diagram of the system using indirect AND function.Test the
program for errors by simulating it first. Go to Oline tab click simulation
mode then login and run.
6. If the program runs correctly, then it is ready to be uploaded to the PLC.
7. Set-up the network configuration of the computer used by expiditing its IP
adress to 198.162.2.X,( X )note can be from any number except 50 for due
to by default 50 is being use by PLC already.
8. Connect the PLC to the computer using a ethernet or lan cable.
9. Then upload the program now to the PLC by unselecting the simulation
mode then login and search the conneted plc and select it now the program
is uploaded into the PLC and will excute the command even with out the
computer connected.
10. Then execute the program turn on the PLC make sure its all connected
from the main poweer supply and turn the knob of the PLC and make sure
the air service unit knob is on. Then push the buttons that satisfies the
problem.
