Objective:-
2. Develop a ladder program for starting an electrical motor using DOL starter
Theory :-
One method of starting electric motors is using direct on line (DOL) or across the line starter. In this method full line
voltage is applied to the motor terminals. This is simplest type of motor starter. An electrical wiring diagram for single
phase DOL starter is shown below.
A DOL motor starter contains fuse and over load relay (OLR) for protection purpose. The starter can be contain
momentary contact or maintained contact push buttons. The example considered here is momentary contact push
buttons. For starting purpose normally open (NO) push button is preferred whereas normally closed (NC) push button
is used to stop the motor. The excessive supply voltage drop causing high inrush current is the criteria to limit the use
of DOL starter. Conveyor motors, water pumps are the applications where DOL starters are used.
Procedure
Problem Statement: To start a motor using DOL starter . The simple P&I ; diagram for this problem is as below.

Listing of Input and Output devices: Inputs: PB1- To start the motor PB2- To stop the motor Output: M1- Motor
Sequence of Events :
1. When Start push button (PB1) is pressed, Motor (M1) has to start.
2. If Start pushbutton (PB1) is released and Stop pushbutton (PB2) is not pressed, Motor (M1) should remain on.
3. When Stop push button (PB2 is pressed, Motor (M1) has tol stop.
4. If stop push button is released and start is not pressed (released) motor shouldl remain off.
As the momentary contact push buttons are used here, the condition of PB1 is maintained through contact of coil C1.
This contact is called as latching contact. The same sequence of event can be executed by using latch and unlatch
instruction in the following way.

Pretest :-
Procedure
1. The Latch and unlatch instructions are used for holding the output status.
2. The tag name of latch and unlatch output bit must be same.
3. Once you toggle the input bit for the latch; even if you release it by toggling once again, the output bit remains
latched.

4. To unlatch the output you will have to toggle the input bit in the unlatch rung and the output will be de-
energised.
Execute the following ladder on simulator and observe the output status:
• You can develop ladder for a DOL "Direct On Line" starter using these instructions.
• You can also develop the logic using start and stop push buttons as explained under theory tab.
