PLC Automation

What is PLC?

A Programmable Logic Controller is an industrial digital computer which has regulate, control the industrial operations such as assembly lines, robotic devices or any other industrial process. PLC has high reliability, high accuracy, process fault diagnosis.
Plc
First PLC were developed in the automobile manufacturing industry to provide flexible, rugged and easily programmable controllers to replace hard wired relay logic systems. Since then, they have been widely adopted as high reliability automation controllers.

PLC programming language focused on logic and switching operations. It was more user friendly than computers using Ladder Logic programming languages. PLC also permitted for its operation to be monitored.

A programmable logic controller consists of

1. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
      CPU interprets inputs and executes the control program stored in memory and sends output signals.

2. Power Supply
        Power supply unit converts AC input voltage to DC output voltage required as per rated value.

3. Memory Unit
Memory unit storing data from inputs and program to be executed by the CPU.

4. Input and Out Interface Module
        Input Device module receive the signal from various sensors in digital format and sent to CPU for action to be taken.
Output device module received the signal from CPU and sent to load for controlling the application.

5. Programming Device
       Programming device used for to communicate and development the program with CPU.

Programming of PLC

Plc programming

A graphical programming language called Ladder diagram. The fundamental concepts of PLC programming are common to all manufacturers in I/O addressing, memory organization and instruction sets mean that PLC programs are never perfectly interchangeable between different makers.

PLC programs are typically written in programming device which can take the form of a desktop console, special software on a personal computer or a handheld programming device. Then the program is downloaded to the PLC directly or over a network.

Solar Energy System- working of solar energy System

What is solar energy System? Solar energy system is the technology for generating electricity Ecofriendly. It convert s solar rays to photovoltaic energy and it again convert in electrical energy. There are many advantages and applications of solar energy system. It is purely zero percent pollution source which not create any defected parameter to earth. Major components of solar energy project are 1. Solar panel 2. Charge controller 3. Battery 4. Load Solar panel Solar energy system consist solar panels which includes solar cell, solar array, solar modules. If we connect number of solar cells then it's called a solar array, solar modules are from number of solar array and solar panel are are from number of solar modules. Solar panels consist number of layers and it generate photovoltaic energy from sun rays and it convert in DC power supply. Charge Controller The function of charge controller in Solar energy system are same as inverter. It converts AC power as well as DC power. Th...

What is LED and construction of LED

Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a source of light that should be used worldwide and number of applications of LED due to it's properties and performance. In this section we learn about What is LED, Function of LED, construction of LED, How LED works, Advantages of LED, Disadvantages of LED, Application of LED. What is Light Emitting Diode (LED)? LED is special type of diode. It is an electric component that emits light when the electric current flows through it. When current passes through the LED, the electrons recombine with holes emitting light in the process. The characteristics of LED similar as the p-n junction diode that means that an LED allows the flow of current in its forward direction while it blocks the flow in the reverse direction. Construction of LED The semiconductor material used in LED is Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Gallium Phosphide (GaP) or Gallium Arsenide Phosphide (GaAsP). Any of the above mentioned compounds can be used for the construction of LED, but the colou...

Robotics Technology- How Robots works

Robotics Technology  In a robotic System, we discussed the following topics. What is Robotics? Technology of Robots Types of Robots  Future of Robotics What is Robots? A Robot is a new advanced technology machine which is performed number of operations automatically. It is controlled by especially one programmable computer.  Various techniques have emerged to develop the Robots.  There are many different types of robots such that they have tasks to perform.  The word Robotics  first appeared in Isaac Asimov  ’s science  fiction story  Runaround  in 1942. Technology of Robots   In 2005, 90% of all robots was worked on assembled the vehicles  in automotive industries. These robots consist mainly of mechanical arms tasked with welding or screwing on certain parts of a vehicles. Today, we are seeing an evolved and expanded definition of robotics that includes the development, processing and operations. All Robots consist of me...
