Grade (P/M/D): MERIT Produce a Ladder Logic program to run on a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The program should control the safe operation of traffic lights at a cross roads. The design should allow for a pedestrian crossing to be added. This must also operate in a safe manor for the pedestrians and vehicle drivers. The system will be implemented using a Mitsubishi FX PLC. (This is the available hardware.) The development will take place on a Windows PC running Mitsubishi GX Developer a...
