control system without having to rewrite the connections to
the input and output devices. The basic difference is that the
developer uses different set of mnemonics for different set
of instructions. Thus making it a more flexible system which
can be used to operate, monitor and control the variety of
different systems.

The operation of a programmable controller is relatively
simple. The input and output system is attached to the
devices that will help the plc to run and execute various

V. PROPOSED WORK
In this paper, we first developed the ladder logic to control
the cranes in a particular direction, and then simulate the
ladder programming using Rs Logix Software for PLC.
Then design and assembled the crane model by selecting
various types of motors then checked the testing of relay
module and monitoring the voltage current and temperature
of the drives in the present scenario. Thus our proposed
work is mainly based on Rs Logix software. Let’s compare a
simple ladder diagram with its real world external physically
connected relay circuit and see the differences.

3. They are easily programmed and have easily understood
programming language.
4. It contains programmable functions.
5. It scans memory, inputs and outputs in predetermined
manner.
6. It provides error checking diagnostics.
7. A PLC can provide some form of monitoring capabilities
8. A PLC can be effectively designed for a wide variety of
control tasks.
Figure 5:-Relay Circuit
VIIII. CONCLUSION:In the above circuit, the coil will be energized when there is
a closed loop between the + and - terminals of the battery.
The same circuit can be made with the help of a ladder
diagram A ladder consists of individual rungs which
contains one or more inputs connected to it and one output.
The first step on a rung is to check the input instruction and
last will be always the (or its equivalent).
Figure 6:-Ladder Diagram
Notice in this simple one rung ladder diagram we have
recreated the external circuit above with a ladder diagram.
In this Circuit we used two switches SW1 and SW2, for
loading the instructions. At the end of the rung there will be
a output Coil. Different manufacturers use different output
instructions for executing the outputs. Different PLCs also
require an end instruction on the rung after the end rung [5].
V1. PRESENT THEORIES & PRACTICES
Originally they were designed as a replacement for
hard-wired relay and timer logic control systems. PLCs have
the great advantage that it is possible to modify a control
system without having to rewrite the connections to the
input and output devices, The Program in Plc can be stored
in battery backup memory only. Unlike other equipment’s
General purpose computers, the plc is well designed and
manufactured for extended temperature ranges, immunity to
noise, and is mechanically more rugged and resistant to
vibration and impact. By implementing this project we will
decreases the man power, hence will increase in production
of the industry [4].
PLCs can be compared to computers/Pc but have more
advantages and functions as compared to the controllers
1. PLC is more immune to noise vibrations temperature and
lusty condition.
2. The interfacing for inputs and outputs is the controller.
The plc is well designed and manufactured for extended
temperature ranges, immunity to noise, and is mechanically
more rugged and resistant to vibration and impact. If it want
a device in a PLC system to behave differently or to control
a different process element, all have to do is change the

wires required, large faults will be there and many more
difficulties in troubleshooting & repair work .Due to these
Drawbacks the production suffers a lot and hence growth
decreases rapidly. This is the main reason in order to remove
irregularity of relays and wiring issue we prefer PLC to
control and monitor the operation of crane in the industry. In
future definitely PLC is dominated on all other controlling
methods.
