Creating a Relay Ladder Logic Circuit for Controlling Multiple Lamps

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a relay ladder logic circuit to control three lamps (L1, L2, and L3) using a start and stop button. The circuit should allow L1 to turn on with the first button press, L1 and L2 with the second, and all three lamps with the third press, while the stop button resets the circuit. The user has six relays available but is uncertain about their types (latched, normally open, or normally closed). Suggestions include assigning each lamp to a relay, drawing a state diagram, and determining the logical relationships between the state variables and relay inputs. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity on relay types to effectively design the circuit.

I don't even know if this post is in the right place but I'm going to give it a shot anyways. I am supposed to draw a ladder diagram that controls L1, L2, and L3. L1 is supposed to come on the first time the start button is pushed. The second time the start button is pushed, L1 and L2 are supposed to come. L1, L2, and L3 are all supposed to come the third time the start button is pushed. The stop button is supposed to reset the circuit so you could do it all over again. I have 6 relays I can use to make this work. Below is the paper with instructions and materials I have. Does anybody have any help/solutions to this problem? Any thing would be greatly appreciated.

For me it is not obvious what kind of relays do you have. Latched? Normally open? Normally closed?

After figuring it out, I would assign each lamps to a relay, draw a state diagram and determine the logical relationship between state variables (state of relays and buttons) and relay inputs.
