Briefing

During maintenance, a LOTO_KEY switch must disable all motion outputs. Write the interlock so that CONVEYOR_FWD can only run when LOTO_KEY is FALSE (energy isolated).

Objectives

  • CONVEYOR_FWD is blocked whenever LOTO_KEY is TRUE
  • Normal start/stop logic still works when LOTO_KEY is FALSE

Hints

  • Series LOTO_KEY (as NC contact / NOT LOTO_KEY) in the CONVEYOR_FWD rung
  • CONVEYOR_FWD := (START OR CONVEYOR_FWD) AND NOT STOP AND NOT LOTO_KEY
