ABSTRAK
Projek ini dilaksanakan untuk merekabentuk dan membina Sistem Eskalator
Automatik dengan menggunakan program PLC serta menggunakan perkakasan.
Projek ini adalah mengenai eskalator yang hanya akan berfungsi apabila
mempunyai objek di atasnya. Eskalator ini adalah rekabentuk eskalator yang biasa
kecuali ia mempunyai pengesan. Pengesan ini akan mengesan sebarang objek dan
eskalator tersebut akan bergerak selepas objek tersebut dikesan. Ia mempunyai satu
pengesan, ia bertindak dengan memasang suis dan dan juga akan bertindak
memadamkan suis motor yang menjalankan eskalator tersebut. Dengan
menggunakan fimer yang terdapat dalam program PLC, ia akan menetapkan jarak
masa untuk memadamkan suis serta memasangkan suis eskalator_tersebut.
Tambahan pula, dengan menggunakan PLC program yang mempunyai counter, ia
akan mengira bilangan pengguna yang menggunakan escalator tersebut. Dalam
projek ini, saya membina automatik eskalator mini, Perkakasan yang akan
digunakan adalah seperti, motor (power window), belt, pengesan, dan sebagainya.
Saya merujuk kepada sistem conveyor selain daripada merujuk kepada sistem
eskalator dalam merekabentuk model eskalator mini. Perbezaan di antara escalator
dan conveyor adalah eskalator mempunyai anak tangga. Bekalan elektrik dapat
dijimatkan dengan menggunakan eskalator automatik. ABSTRACT
This project is to design and build an Automatic Escalator System by using
PLC software and also using hardware. This project is about an escalator that will
function when there’s an object(s) on it. This escalator is a standard design of
escalator except it has sensor. This sensor will detect an object and will start
moving when it detected an object. There’s a sensor that will switch on the escalator
and also will turn off the escalator. Plus, by using timer that is in the PLC
programming, it will set how long it takes to turn off and tum on the escalator.
Moreover, it will count the objects that move pass by the sensor by using counter in
PLC. In this project, I built an automatic miniature escalator. By using hardware,
motor, belt, sensors, and ete are used. Besides referring to the escalator system, I
also refer to the conveyor system to design a simple miniature model of this
escalator. The difference between escalator and conveyor is escalator has steps. By
using this automated escalator, electricity will be saved. CHAPTERI
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
In this chapter, I will introduce and explained briefly of my project that titled
“Automatic Escalator System”. The objectives and scopes are very important because it
will guide the whole process and also gives the right way to discover of completing this
project. A few literature reviews has been observed to verify clearly the problem
statements of this project.
1.2 Project Title
In partial fulfillment of requirements for the Degree of Bachelor in Electrical
Engineering (Control, Instrumentation and Automation), I had chosen to designed and
constructed an automated escalator. This escalator is controlled by a sensor that will
determine the motor when to switch on or off. It will be turned on when there’s an object
pass by the sensor and vice versa. 13 Project Objectives
There are a few objectives that I managed to clarify in completing my project.
Firstly, I identified briefly and deeply what are escalator and the basic function of an
escalator. Besides that, I also knew all the main parts of the escalator. To understand it, 1
studied all the substances that I searched.
Furthermore, I had understood PLC programming so that I can use it to connect to
the hardware that controlled the sensor. I used this program to run the escalator because it
has timer and counter. The timer will delay a few seconds before the escalator stop
moving. Plus it has a counter that will count how many object that has passes by the
sensor.
Next, I designed and built a miniature automatic escalator that has all the aspects
that I planned for. This escalator will function by using sensor and also run with the help
by PLC programming. Plus I would like to innovate the ideas and perform it into a real
situation.
Finally, my last objectives are to accomplish the advantages of this automatic
escalator. The advantages are such as saving the electricity bills different from standard
escalator that will cost more on electricity bills. It is because of the usage that is nonstop
moving. Besides, with it being automated, it won't be damaged easily because of the
usages are used when it’s needed only. Therefore it will cost less on the maintenance of
the escalator. 14 Project Scopes
For this project, I will cover on learning and understanding all the basic function
and every single parts of an escalator. After that, I will design and build the automatic
escalator by using hardware and also software.
This automatic escalator system is using PLC programming to run and also two
sensors to switch on or off the motor. I'd designed the program using PLC that has timer
and sensor. After that I will connect the program to the hardware in completing the
project.
1.5 Problem Statements
Since 1859 until now, escalator is being used widely around the world mostly in
shopping malls. The standard escalator is very common. It can occur problems easily
such as that it ean be damaged and need to be repaired frequently. It is because that this
escalator keeps on moving all day long. Besides that problem on maintenance, costs also
are one of the problems in using standard escalator. By using it non-stop, the cost of
electricity bills are high. For example, there’s must be more than a dozen of escalator in
one shopping mall. So, it must be plenty of usage on the power supply. Finally, the
problem is about the safety of the users. When suddenly the escalator’s broken while
there’re users on it, the user might fall down because of the inertia. So, with using
automatic escalator, the safety of the users is more ensure. Supuueg walorg :1°1 AGEL
