There is no way to force an electrically/electronically controlled system to start up from where it lost power unless they are designed to provide that ability. Sorry..

Yes sure itsmoked. So iam asking about PLC programming technique which can perform this task and if thier is an exeternal digital parts will be used. Thanks
 
Note.. System is resumed when power is ON again from where it was losted
 
I suppose, if you've already got a plc, or want one. You could use a small UPS and set up a bit to sense power loss. At power loss, use that bit to halt operation. And restore it when power returns.

Beware of safety factors. Like a person shutting down the machine by disconnecting power. Automatic restart could be dangerous.

Personally, I can't think of many operations with machinery where I'd like unattended start up.
