<span>Signal Interpreted Petri Nets (SIPN) modeling has been proposed as an alternative to Ladder Logic Diagram (LLD) modeling for programming complex programmable logic controllers (PLCs) due to its high level of abstraction and functionalities. This paper proposes an algorithm to efficiently convert existing SIPN models to their LLD models equivalences. In order to automate and speed up the conversion process, matrix calculation approach is used. A complex SIPN model was used to show that existing conversion technique must be expanded in order to cater for a more complex SIPN models.</span>

Advance of a road traffic light control system using Programmable Logic Controller is the principal of the system. This system can be divided into two parts which are hardware and software. The hardware part for this system is a model of four -way junction of a traffic light. The Red, Yellow and Green are installed at each lane to represent as a traffic light signal indicator. This switches and lamps are linked to PLC. The PLC receives signal which is coming from the inputs (sensor and switch) and drives the units (lamps or relays). In the system, Siemens s7-200 PLC is used as the main controller of the traffic light system. The Step7 Micro Win software can be developed the ladder logic diagram which can control the traffic light for proposed system. So, the traffic light system can be successfully controlled by PLC.

Sequential control using ladder logic, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and operator interfaces are commonly used in the manufacturing industry today. The introduction course of programmable logic controller is a course that needs a lot of practice. We present a project-based approach to teaching it by introducing real engineering projects into the process of theory teaching. The students show more enthusiastic during learning course and their abilities of solving engineering problems are greatly enhanced.

This paper presents programmable logic controller based elevator control system. Primary focus is on using programmable logic controller to build the elevator model. To control the motion of the elevator through various levels DC geared motor is used. Push buttons are used to give signal to the elevator to come to the desired floor, traversing up and down. Moreover DC relays are used as switches, not protective devices, to drive the motor in clockwise and anticlockwise direction. Ladder logic is used for the model implementation.

The working principle of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is introduced. Three kinds of PLC programming method, logic based method, function based method and Petri Net based method are emphasized. The example is also given. It also points out that function based PLC programming method is a practical engineering method.
