11 PLC Program To Implement BCD To Gray Code Conversion

This document presents a PLC program to implement a conversion from BCD to Gray code by writing the truth table and boolean expressions relating the BCD inputs to Gray code outputs, and then using ladder logic to realize the conversion based on the boolean expressions for each output bit in terms of the BCD input bits. It includes the ladder logic diagram and runtime test cases to validate the BCD to Gray code conversion.

PLC Program to Implement BCD to Gray Code

Conversion
This is a PLC Program to Implement BCD to Gray Code Conversion.

Problem Description
Implementing BCD TO Gray Code conversion in PLC using Ladder Diagram
programming language.

Problem Solution
 In Gray Code only one bit changes at a time.
 Writing truth table showing the relation between Binary as input and Gray code as
output.
 Since input is BCD, only 10 combinations can be made using 4 bits. (0 to 9).
 For each Gray code output D3, D2, D1 and D0, write Karnaugh-Map.
 From the K-Map, obtaining a simplified expression for each Gray Code output in
terms of BCD inputs.
 Realize the code converter using the Logic Gates.
 By following actual process to convert BCD into Gray Code, Truth Table can be
written as given below.

Truth Table relating BCD to Gray Code


Decimal BCD input Gray Code output
B3 B2 B1 B0 D3 D2 D2 D0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
2 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1
3 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0
4 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0
5 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1
6 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1
7 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0
8 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0
9 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1

Boolean expression for each BCD bits can be written as


D3= m(8, 9)
D2= m(4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
D1= m(2, 3, 4, 5)
D0= m(1, 2, 5, 6, 9)
Realizing code conversion using Logic Gates

PLC Program
Here is PLC program to Implement BCD to Gray Code Conversion, along with
program explanation and run time test cases.
List of Inputs and Outputs
B3= I:1/0 (Input)
B2= I:1/1 (Input)
B1= I:1/2 (Input)
B0= I:1/3 (Input)
D3= O:2/0 (Output)
D2= O:2/1 (Output)
D1= O:2/2 (Output)
D0= O:2/3 (Output)

Ladder Diagram to obtain Gray Code output

Program Description
 Simply by observing the logic circuit, ladder diagram is made.
 RUNG000 for output bit D3 (O:2/0) is as described earlier that the MSB of Gray
Code and Binary are same, so passed the same B3 (I:1/0) bit directly.
 Since inputs are BCD, D2 (O:2/1) is obtained by just ORing inputs B2 (I:1/1) and
B3 (I:1/0).
 By simplifying Boolean expressions, we can see that each inputs are EX-ORed
with each other in different Rungs.
