PLC BASED SEQUENTIAL BATCH PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
Programmable
logic controllers are extensively used in industries for controlling sequence
of actions of the process. The sequence of process flow is decided for
controlling the parameters like level and temperature. The brain of the system
is PLC .Appropriate hardware for interfacing the process to the controller is
developed for controlling the level ant temperature of the process. For
controlling sequence of actions ladder diagram is developed.
Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC) is designed to operate in real time environment. It has
been observed that in many industries distributed control system and PLCs are
extensively used. PLC based sequential batch process control (PLCSBC) is a
laboratory type setup. This setup will be useful for demonstrating the use of
PLC in sequential control operations in industry and development of ladder
diagram for particular application. The system under consideration is designed
to carry out sequence of events. The process under consideration is Batch
process, whish is controlled by PLC.
