A process tank shown in figure 1 is sequenced to mix liquid fertilizer according to following sequence of operation.
i) A start push button is pressed to start the operation and v1 is being operated to open in order to fill tank up to a pre-set level sensed by level switch A.
(ii) As the tank fills, a level switch A closes NO contact to energize the stirrer motor to start automatically and operate 5 sec to mix the fluid.
(iii) When stirrer motor stops, the solenoid operated water valve v2 is energized to empty the tank.
(iv) When tank is completely empty, the level switch B opens and de-energizes solenoid operates water valve v2
(v) A stop button is pressed to stop operation.
Draw PLC ladder diagram to achieve the above sequence of operation.
