1.1 - Power Supply Module
There are several types of power supply module:
� 240V ac
� 110V ac
� 24V dc
Function:
Provides all the voltage level needed to operate the PLC. Converts 110V ac or 240V ac
into the dc voltage required by the CPU, memory, I/O interface.
Example of a power supply module

Example of a CPU module
Memory
Memory location is an address in RAM or ROM where a group of bits (binary digits) can be
stored.
Grouping of bits depending on PLCs:
8 bits per word
16 bits per word
32 bits per word
LSB : Least Significant Bit - Digit that represents the smallest value
MSB : Most Significant Bit - Digit that represents the largest value

Example:
The memory size of PLC is 884 words. How many bits of information can be stored?
Solution: 8 bits PLC : 884 x 8 = 7 072 bits 16 bits PLC : 884 x 16 = 14 144 bits 32 bits PLC : 884 x 32 = 28 288 bits
Types of memory:
� Volatile
� information lose when power lost
� easy to alter
� suitable when supported by battery backup
� Non-volatile
� no information lose when power lost
RAM (Random Access Memory)
� Volatile memory
� Read and write easily
� PLCs usually has CMOS-RAM with battery backup
ROM (Read Only Memory)
� Non-volatile memory
� Read only
� Information stored by manufacturer for internal use of the PLC

EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)
� Non-volatile memory
� Can be reprogrammed after being entirely erased with the use of an UV light
source
EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)
� Non-volatile memory
� Same programming flexibility as RAM. Provides permanent storage of the
program but can be easily changed using standard programming devices.
Memory Organisation or Memory Map:
Memory are divided into 3 areas:
� Data table area
Stores information for user program:
� Input table
� Output table
� Internal relay
� Function blocks current and pre-set value (timer / counter)
If signal is ON/OFF: information is stored in unique bit location (bit address)
If signal is number or code: information is stored in unique register or word location

� User program area
Stores the programmed ladder logic/sequential function chart.
Most instructions require one word of memory & occupy the largest area of
memory
� System area

2. TYPES OF PLC
There are two types of PLC:
� Compact
� Modular
� Compact PLC
The compact/ micro has the power supply and I/O on-board. It can be used on smaller,
stand-alone applications such as elevators, car washes, or mixing machines. It can also
be used on more complex industrial applications such as bottling and packaging
machines.

� Modular PLC
The modular PLCs are used in more complex applications that support a greater number
of I/O points. They are are expandable. The power supply and I/O consist of separate
modules connected to the CPU. Choosing of modular PLCs depends on the complexity
of the task and possible future expansion.
