PLC Based Car Washing System: Automation Is The Use of Control Systems and Information Technologies To Reduce The
INTRODUCTION Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies to reduce the need for human work in the production of goods and services. In the scope of industrialization, automation is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provided human operators with machinery to assist them with the muscular requirements of work, automation greatly decreases the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well. Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and in daily experience. In todays world of automation everything is done at higher accuracies and precision. Industry today made improvisation in existing methods. Stamping is one of the processes which are performed manually. It requires inking and pressure on pad so as to achieve exact impression being stamped in the required specification. The aim of this project is to show a low cost demonstration of what actually happens in the industry. A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is a digital computerized for automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or lighting fixtures. The PLC is used for achieving precise control over the stamping process. The logic used in the PLC is easily understood by the non-technical personnel. Also PLC is a portable instrument which occupies less space. Henceforth PLC has emerged as a very powerful tool in todays world. The use of PLC is ever increasing day by day. 1.2 Importance of Car Washing: Increase in speed of process. Reduces fatigue of operation. To save time. Process can be made fully automatic.
Manual errors can be avoided. 1.3 Advantages of using PLC in Industry: Precise control: Using PLC precise control over the process can be achieved. Flexibility: PLC can be reprogrammed depending on the application. Also any further expansion in the machining process can be accommodated. Reliability: PLC is a reliable electronic instrument which gives hundred percent accuracy under any circumstances of working environment. Ease of understanding: The relay logic used in the PLC is easy to understand and implement. 1.4 Component Used: PLC 14SS Delta Relay Driver Servomotor Power supply
