MILL AUTOMATION USING PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER

To Increase the production and efficiency, by means of Automation using Programmable Logic Controller(PLC).

In order to provide AUTOMATION and to reduce the manpower. This article involves full automation of the conveyor and raw juice tank using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Here the automation reduces the consumption time by one-fourth of total process. Safety is assured.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is the controller

which controls a system by means of its given input program.

This program is given by the user. The Program can be changed according to the requirement or process.

Extension modules are available, for large process.

The primary reason for including the plc is to eliminate large cost involved in replacing the complicated relay based machine control system. Easy understandable programming language. Easy of programming and reprogramming in plant High speed and it reduces time consumption.

replacement and addition of units. Password security is available. Wiring of the system is reduced by the 80%. The power consumption is reduced. Speed of PLC operation high, thus production increases. Special interfaces have allowed certain devices to be connected directly to the controller.

Controlling of Raw Juice Level. Flow of Paccas in conveyor is controlled. Cane Carrier Motor is controlled.

Thereby increasing the production by 1/4 times.
