Institution	Teesside University Open Learning (Engineering)
Module	Programmable Logic Controllers
Assessment	Tutor Marked Assignment 2 (TMA 2) – Programming
Outcome assessed	Learning Outcome 3

Learning Outcome 3

This TMA assesses your ability to:

• evaluate programming methods for programmable logic controllers (PLCs);
• evaluate advanced PLC functions;
• produce clear program text and documentation;
• employ testing and debugging techniques;
• identify the elements involved in preparing a program;
• produce and demonstrate a PLC program of at least 50 instructions for an engineering application.

Grading Criteria

Pass	Complete Exercises 1–2
Merit	Complete Exercises 1–5
Distinction	Complete Exercises 1–7

For every exercise you must submit the ladder logic file together with an I/O allocation list, a rung-by-rung description and a summary of how the program was developed and tested.

Programming Exercises

Exercise 1: Annunciator

Program an alarm annunciator with flashing indicator lights and an audible warning.

Exercise 2: Car Park

Control the entry and exit barriers and manage car park capacity.

Exercise 3: Elevator

Control a multi-floor lift, including floor selection and door operation.

Exercise 4: Drinks Machine

Program coin acceptance and beverage dispensing.

Exercise 5: Packing Line

Sort boxes and route them along the correct conveyor.

Exercise 6: Bottling Plant

Control filling, capping and stacking operations.

Exercise 7: Industrial Control Simulator

Program component sorting and assembly on the industrial control simulator.

Each exercise specifies its inputs, outputs and operating sequence, and must be fully documented.
