Batch Mixing Tank PLC Sequence

A batch mixing tank sequence: start the fill valve when a cycle is initiated, run the mixer motor once the tank is full (high-level switch), time the mix for 5 minutes using a TON timer, then open the drain valve when the timer is done.

Das Szenario

A controls engineering student designing a batch process sequence needs a PLC ladder logic diagram for a mixing tank.

Was diese Zeichnung zeigt

Die dahinterstehenden Entscheidungen verstehen.

01

Rung 1+2 parallel seal-in latches the fill valve even after the start button is released.

02

High-level sensor (XIC rung 3) prevents mixer from running before tank is full — process interlock.

03

TON timer DN bit both stops the mixer and triggers drain, creating automatic handoff between mix and discharge phases.

Add a low-level sensor to stop the drain valve; add multiple fill valves with separate timers for multi-ingredient batches.
