    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION TO AUTOMATION

    The basic mean of automation is to become a system automatic , mean it complete all thegiven task automatically, the definition of the automation is to anlyze and control all the

    process parameters in the plant or in a machine with the help of automatic device is calledthe automation.

    When a machine or a system is controlled by the another system or machine , then itiscalled an automatic system . in this type of system we can use the feedback controltechnology for the accurate operation of our system.

    In an automation system , all the components of the system works automatically , weonly require the starting and stopping of the system remaining system works itself.

    Benefits of an automatic system

    We use the automatic sytem in these days and it is increased regularly because it has several benefits. Some of the benefits are as follows :-

    1. Increasing productivityWhen a system change in an automatic system, its productivity is increased becausethere are no losses like tension, fatigue, laziness which are associated with manualsystem, so overall productivity increases.

    2 . Increase qualityWhen we change a system in a automatic system, the quality of our product isincreased because there is no chance of the error due to human beings , and all system

    works as they are instructed by the operator.3 . Reduce overall production cost

    When we change a system in an automatic system then overall production cost of thesystem is reduced because the manpower is reduced and rate of manufacturing isincreased.

    4 . Increased safety at workplaceThe manpower required is reduced and all the work is done automatically by themachine, so the safety of the humankind is increased ay work-place and the chance of accidents are also reduced.

    5 . F lexibility to expand the system

    In an automatic system our system being more flexible because now we have onlychange some function of automation devices to change our requirement and our system works being changed, so the flexibility of our system is increased byautomation.

    Chapter 2 INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

    Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies reducing the need for

    human intervention. 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 reduces the need for human

    sensory and mental requirements as well. Automation plays an increasingly important role in

    the world economy and in daily experience .

    2 .1 AUTOMATION TOOLS:

    Engineers now can have numerical control over automated devices. The result has been a

    rapidly expanding range of applications and human activities. Computer-aided technologiesnow serve the basis for mathematical and organizational tools used to create complex

    systems. Notable examples include Computer-aided design (C AD software) and Computer-

    aided manufacturing (C AM software). The improved the design, analysis, and manufacture of

    products has been beneficial for industry[1].

    Information technology, together with industrial machinery and processes, can assist in the

    design, implementation, and monitoring of control systems. One example of an industrial

    control system is a programmable logic controller ( PLC). PLCs are specialized hardenedcomputers which are frequently used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical)

    sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events[3].

    Human-machine interfaces ( HMI) or computer human interfaces (C HI), formerly known as

    man-machine interfaces, are usually employed to communicate with PLCs and other

    computers. Service personnel who monitor and control through HMIs can be called by

    different names. In industrial process and manufacturing environments, they are called

    operators or something similar. In boiler houses and central utilities departments they are

    called stationary engineers[3].

    Different types of automation tools exist:

    y A NN - Artificial neural network

    y DCS - Distributed Control System

    y HMI - Human Machine Interface

    y SCADA - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition

    y PLC - Programmable Logic Controller

    y PA C - Programmable automation controller

    y Instrumentationy Motion control

    y R obotics

    2 .2 IMPACT:

    Automation has had a notable impact in a wide range of highly visible industries beyond

    manufacturing. Once-ubiquitous telephone operators have been replaced largely by

    automated telephone switchboards and answering machines. Medical processes such as

    primary screening in electrocardiography or radiography and laboratory analysis of human

    genes, sera, cells, and tissues are carried out at much greater speed and accuracy by

    automated systems. Automated teller machine has reduced the need for bank visits to obtain

    cash and carry out transactions. In general, automation has been responsible for the shift in

    the world economy from agrarian to industrial in the 19th century and from industrial to

    services in the 20th century .

    2 .3 APPLICATIONS O F AUTOMATION:

    (a) Automated Video surveillance:

    The Defense Advanced R esearch Projects Agency (DARPA ) started the research and

    development of automated Visual surveillance and Monitoring (VS AM) program 1997-99

    and airborne Video Surveillance ( AVS) program 1998-2002. Currently there is a major effort

    underway in the vision community to develop a fully automated tracking surveillance system.

    Automated video surveillance monitors people and vehicle in real time within a busy

    environment. Existing automated surveillance systems are based on the environment they are primarily designed to observe, i.e., indoor, outdoor or airborne, the amount of sensors that the

    automated system can handle and the mobility of sensor, i.e., stationary camera vs. mobile

    camera. The purpose of a surveillance system is to record properties and trajectories of

    objects in a given area generate warnings or notify designated authority in case of occurrence

    of particular events[3] .

    Home automation (also called demotic) designates an emerging practice of increased

    automation of household appliances and features in residential dwellings, particularly through

    electronic means that allow for things impracticable, overly expensive or simply not possiblein recent past decades .

    CHAPTER 3

    PLC ARCHITECTURE

    PLCs contain three basic sections:

    1.

    Central processing unit (C PU).2. Memory: E PR OM, RAM, and so on.

    3. Input/output section for communication with peripherals ( ADC, DAC).

    F ig 3 .1 PLC structure

    As shown in fig 3.1 ,a PLC is basically a box with a number of inputs from, and a number of

    outputs to, the outside world. It can make decisions, store data, do timing cycles, do simple

    arithmetic, convert codes, and so on. The basic difference between this black box and a

    hardware logic system using IC chips or a relay controlled system, is that specific coded

    messages are stored in areas called program memory, which are PR OM or R OM and RA M

    chips. It is, however, much easier to change a program when a different process is requiredthan to rewire the control system. For example, it may take electricians a couple of weeks to

    require a pipe mill, whereas a programmer will spend only a fraction of this time to

    reprogram a PLC since no wires will have to be changed. In addition, various recipes can be

    stored in memory and accessed when required, making the program extremely flexible.

  • 8/6/2019 Abhinav Traiing Report

    11/39

    11

    The system operates through interaction with the processor and program memory. When the

    power to the system is turned on, the processor reads the first instruction stored in memory

    and acts on this instruction. When completed, it goes back to the memory for the next

    instruction, and so on until task is complete. This operation is called the fetch-execute cycle.

    The processor communicates with the outside world via input and output modules .

    3.1 THE PARTS O F A PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER:

    Programmable logic controllers ( PLC) can be considered to have three parts:

    3 .1.1 Input/output Section

    The I/O section contains input modules and output modules. Functionally, the input modulesare equivalent to the signal converters (i.e. Analog to Digital or high power to low power).

    All modern PLC input modules use optical devices to accomplish electrically isolatedcoupling between the input circuit and the processor electronics.

    F ig3 .2 Input Output Assembly

    Fig 3.2 shows input output assembly. Inputs carry signals from the process into the controller.Outputs are the devices that the PLC uses to send changes out to the world.

    into R UN mode, which causes the C PU to start executing the program from beginning to end

    repeatedly.

    (e) The complete scan cycle

    As long as the PLC is left in the R UN mode, the processor executes the user program over and over again. Figure depicts the entire repetitive series of events. Beginning at the top of

    the circle representing the scan cycle, the first operation is the input scan. During the input

    scan, the current status of every input module is stored in the input image table, bringing it up

    to date[6].

    Following the input scan, the processor enters its user program execution. Sometimes called

    program scan. The program executes with reference to input and output image tables and

    updates output image table. Throughout the user program execution, the processor

    continuously keeps its output image table up to date, as stated earlier. However, the output

    modules themselves are not kept continuously up to date. Instead, the entire output image

    table is transferred to the output module during the output scan following the program

    execution.

    (f) Data Memory:

    A PLC is a computer, after all. Therefore, it can perform arithmetic, numeric comparisons,

    counting, etc. Naturally the numbers and data can change from one scan cycle to the next.

    Therefore the PLC must have a section of its memory set aside for keeping track of variable

    data, or numbers, that are involved with the user program. This section of memory we will

    call data memory.

    When the C PU is executing an instruction for which a certain data value must be known, that

    data value is brought in from data memory. When the C PU executes an instruction that

    provides a numerical result, that result is put out into data memory. Thus, C PU can read from

    or write to the data memory. Understand that this relationship is different from the

    relationship between the C PU and the user program memory. When the user program is

    executing, the C PU can only reads from the user program memory, never write to it.

    (g) Operating System of PLC:

    The function of the operating system is to present the user with the equivalent of an extended

    machine or virtual machine that is easier to program than the underlying hardware. Due to

    this operating system, PLC is very easy to program. It can be programmed using electrical

  • 8/6/2019 Abhinav Traiing Report

    15/39

    1 5

    schemes with familiar relay symbols so that a plant electrician can easily access the PLC.

    Even though he does not know the assembly language or even if he may not have any

    familiarity with computers and electronics, he will be able to program the PLC.

    The function of PLC Operating system is:

    1. Loads the user program from programming device to program memory.2. To read status of input devices.

    3. To execute user program.

    4. To form and update input image table.

    5. As per the status of output image table controls the output devices.

    6. To provide user-friendly functions.

    This O.S. makes supervision over entire system, so O.S. programs are said to running in

    supervisory mode. When the user completely enters his program in user memory, he transfers

    control from PR OGRAM mode to R UN mode. In R UN mode the control of the whole

    system is transferred to operating system. Now operating system takes care of the whole

    system such that the whole system becomes automatic and appears as magic to users.

    CHAPTER 4

    SYSTEM OVERVIEW O F PLC

    A PLC contains following important parts

    4 .1 CPU

    It usually contains (but sometimes it is external and separate) an Arithmatic Logic

    Unit. This is the part that performs operations such as adding, subtracting ,multiplying

    ,dividing and comparing.

    As shown in fig 4.1,the buffer act as switches that isolate the lines on either side if required.

    A , B , C are latches that passes the data from one side to the other when told to do so.

    The busses are connected to memory chips, which stores digital numbers in location. The

    number is the data while the location is the address. Data can be sent to or brought from

    memory locations by either writing it or reading. R and W are signal lines that make C PU

    read or write.

    A R egister is a temporary memory location where data is put to be manipluted and then taken

    away.

    The reset line when activated resets the program counter to zero

    The operations are carried outto a set of instruction ( the program) and these are decoded in

    the I D(instruction decoder).

    4 .2 INPUT MODULE

    The input module connects the input terminals to the rest of the system. Each terminal isusually electrically isolated from internal electronics by O PTO isolators. This is a way of

    passing on the status of the input (on or off) by use of LE D and PH OTOT RA NSISTO R S .

    They have the advantage of reducing the effects of superiors pulses generated fromelectromagnetic sources. It is also a safety feature to prevent live voltages appearing on theinput lines in the event of a fault.

    This part of system is on separate board connected to processor via cable. It allows the

    processor to communicate with the outside world. It is also called Data Acquisition System

    (DAS).

    This part of system provides 4 digital inputs consisting of 2 dc and 2 ac, 4 digital outputs

    consisting of 2 dc and 2 ac each. It also provides 8 analog inputs with following ranges:

    1. 5v to +5v (one channel).

    2. 0v to 10v (one channel).

    3. 4mA to 20m A (one channel).

    4. 0v to 5v (five channel).

    4 .3 OUTPUT MODULE

    The output module contains switches activated by the C PU in order to connect two terminalsand so allow current to flow in external circuit. This will activate devices such as pneumaticsolenoid valves, hydraulic solenoid valves, motors, pipeline valves, heating element, e.t.c

    Care must be taken not to overload the contacts. The switch may be a transistor or a relay.Fig 4.3 shows a typical output arrangement. The terminals are numbered and these numbersare used in program.

    F ig 4 .3 Output module of plc

    4 .4 STYLES

    The main styles are UNIT AR Y, MO DULAR and RACK mounting.

    As shown in fig 4.4, Unitary PLC contains every feature of a basic system in one box. Theyare attached to the machine being controlled.

    F ig 4 .4 Unitary PLCS

  • 8/6/2019 Abhinav Traiing Report

    19/39

    1 9

    Modular style uses a range of modules that slot together to build up a system. The basicmodules are the power supply, the main module containing the C PU, the input module andthe output module. Other modules such as A/D converters may be added. The mainadvantage is that the number of input and output terminals can be expanded to cope withchanges to the hardware system.

    Modular PLCS may be designed to be fixed direct to a back panel. Usually they are arrangedon a rack or rail or mounted inside a large cabinet for protection and security as in fig4.5.

    F ig 4 .5 Modular and rack mounting PLCS

    RACK mounting is a similar concept to the modular design but the modules are on standardcards that slot into a standard rack inside a cabinet. These are flexible and allow expansion of the system.

    4 .5 VOLTAGE SENSING RELAYS

    They are used with analog devices that produce a voltage representing the variable. The unitis adjusted to trip a relay when a certain point is reached. Typically 24 V is applied to thePLC input. Another example is a level measuring device that produces a voltage proportional

    to level and when the level reaches a certain depth, the voltage sensing relay trips andactivates the PLC input.

    4 .6 INPUT VOLTAGES

    Typical input voltages are 12 V and 24 V but sometimes they can be as low as 5 V or as highas 110V or 240 V. They may accept d.c or a.c . No two PCs are the same so you must takecare to check the input ratings.

    4 .7 OUTPUT DEVICES

    Output devices are switched on by the PLC.These can be anything electrical such as

    following:

    1. D C motor ( to start a conveyor belt).2 . A C motor ( to start a pump).3 . Lights ( traffic lights)4 . Alarms( fire alarm or oil level alarm)

    Typical switching voltages are 12 V , 24 V, 110 V , and 240 V. In many cases , the PLCcannot switch the device directly because of hgh voltages or current needed. In this case

    power switching relays or transistors are used.

    4 .8 COMMUNICATING

    A PLC must communicate with other devices. This is needed to link them to programmingdevices and to other equipments. Many modern instruments and other devices send andreceive information digitally so they are connected to the PLC by some form of network. ThePLCs may form art of a larger system controlled by a mainframe computer. The PLCs must

    be linked to each other and to the computer by a network [7].

    Links may be made through cables using serial data and parallel data. Parallel data may bethrough a ribbon cable (i.e, the ribbon cable linking a disk drive to a motherboard in acomputer) or a screened multi-core cable.

    4 .8.1TWISTED PAIR

    When information is sent along two wires, often a twisted pair is used. To reduce the chancesof picking up stray-electromagnetic signals from other lines running alongside it, the twoinsulated copper wires are twisted around each other as shown in fig 4.6.

    4 .8. 2 COAXIAL CABLE

    It is a kind of cable used to connect a TV set to rhe aerial. It is also used to connect thetelephone exchanges to the telephone exchanges to the poles near to user. The cable has aninner conductor surrounded by a concentric conductor made from copper mesh and separated

    by a layer of insulation. The outer layer is usually grounded[7].

    4 .8. 3 F IBRE OPTICS

    Fibre optic cable are basically thin glass strands. When light is shone into one end of a strand,it is carried inside the fibre over enormous distance without losing its strength. They are notsubjected to electromagnetic interference and the need to retransmit signals[7].

    Here we are using 89c51 microcontroller, which has one full duplex serial data

    receiver/transmitter, which is used for serial communication having interface with ICL232

    chip. It has also two 16 bits timer/counter namely T0 and T1 which are used for timer and

    counter applications. Timer T1 is used to set baud rate for serial communication in program

    mode.

    5 .2 MEMORY:The system consists of four types of memory:

    a. 4k of EE PR OM which is internal to 89c51 microcontroller. This memory is used

    to store the operating system. It has address from 0000h to 0fffh. It can only be

    accessed when the external access pin of controller is connected to +5v. In our

    system this pin is permanently connected with +5v so external program memory is

    accessed only when the address is beyond 0fffh.

    b. 8k of RAM which is used as data memory. The C PU can read data from and write

    data into this memory. This memory has address from 0000h to 1fffh.c. 8k of RAM which is used as data memory as well as program memory. The C PU

    can write program codes in and read program codes from this memory. This

    memory has address from 2000h to 3fffh.

    helpful in executing the main program, are stored here. This memory has location

    from 4000h to 5fffh.

    5 .3 PROGRAMMMABLE PERIPHERAL INTER F ACE (PPI):

    Here two 8255 are used as PPI. One is used to control the ADC and DAC, while other is

    used for Input/output interface. The addresses for the 8255 used to control ADC and DAC

    are:

    Port A: 6000h

    LADDER LOGIC AND PROGRAMMING CONCEPTS O F PLC

    Ladder logic is a programming language that represents a program by a graphical diagram

    based on the circuit diagrams of relay-based logic hardware. It is primarily used to developsoftware for Programmable Logic Controllers ( PLCs) used in industrial control applications.The name is based on the observation that programs in this language resemble ladders, withtwo vertical rails and a series of horizontal rungs between them as shown in fig 6.1 .

    The degree of complexity of a PLC program depends upon the complexity of the application,the number and type of input and output devices and types of instruction used.

    The left vertical line of a ladder logic diagram represents the power or energised conductor.

    The output coil instruction represents the neutral or return path of the circuit.

    The right vertical line which represents the return path of the circuit on a hard-wired controlline diagram is omitted.

    Ladder logic diagrams are read from left to right and top to bottom.

    R ungs are sometimes referred to as networks. A network may have several control elements but only have one output coil.

    Ladder logic has contacts that make or break circuits to control coils. Each coil or contact

    corresponds to the status of a single bit in the programmable controller's memory. Unlike

    electromechanical relays, a ladder program can refer any number of times to the status of a

    single bit, equivalent to a relay with an indefinitely large number of contacts[5].

    So-called "contacts" may refer to physical ("hard") inputs to the programmable controller

    from physical devices such as pushbuttons and limit switches via an integrated or external

    input module, or may represent the status of internal storage bits which may be generated

    elsewhere in the program.

    Each rung of ladder language typically has one coil at the far right. Some manufacturers may

    allow more than one output coil on a rung.

    -- ( ) -- a regular coil, energized whenever its rung is closed

    -- (\) -- a "not" coil, energized whenever its rung is open

    -- [ ] -- A regular contact, closed whenever its corresponding coil or an input which

    controls it is energized.

    -- [\] -- A "not" contact, open whenever its corresponding coil or an input which controls

    it is energized.

    While ladder logic programs are still common , there are many other ways to program PLCs.

    The two common examples are statement list and function block diagrams.

    F ig 6. 2 PLC PRGRAMMING F ORMATS

    In addition to L AD , STL and FBD , multiple types of programming languages are used inPLCs. Each type of programming has its advantages and disadvantages. Factors such asapplication complexity , types of programming available for a specific PLC model, and user standards and preferences determine which type of programming is used for an application.

    6.3 Programming concepts and example for a Plc: -

    6.3.1. Programming with the use of NO, NC switches:

    The NO switch is a push switch which is remain in normally open condition, andwhen it is pushed it made a close circuit The NC switch is a switch which leave inclose condition normally, mean provides a close path in normal condition and when itis pressed it makes a open circuit.

    APPLICATIONS O F PLC

    It is difficult to define where a PLC cannot be used.

    Proper application of a PLC begins with conversion of information into convenient

    parameters to save money, time and effort and hence easy operation in plants and laboratories

    The areas where PLC is used maximum are as follows:

    1. The batch processes in chemical, cement, food and paper industries which are

    sequential in nature, requiring time of event based decisions is controlled by

    PLCs.2. In large process plants PLCs are being increasingly used for automatic start up

    and shut down of critical equipment. A PLC ensures that equipment cannot be

    started unless all the permissive conditions for safe start have seen established. It

    also monitors the conditions necessary for safe running of the equipment and trips

    the equipment whenever any abnormality in the system is detected.

    3. The PLC can be programmed to function as an energy management system for

    boiler control for maximum efficiency and safety.

    4. In automation of blender reclaimers5. In automation of bulk material handling system at ports.

    6. In automation for a ship unloaded.

    7. Automation for wagon loaders.

    8. For blast furnace charging controls in steel plants.

    9. In automation of brick molding press in refractories.

    10. In automation for galvanizing unit.

    11. For chemical plants process control automation.

    12. In automation of a rock phosphate drying and grinding system.

    13. Modernization of boiler and turbo generator set.

    14. Process visualization for mining application.

    15. Criteria display system for power station.

    16. As stored programmed automation unit for the operation of diesel generator sets.

    17. In Dairy automation and food processing.

    18. For a highly modernized pulp paper factory.

    19. In automation system for the printing industry.

    20. In automation of container transfer crane.

    21. In automation of High-speed elevators.

    22. In plastic molding process.23. In automation of machine tools and transfer lines.

    24. In Mixing operations and automation of packaging plants.

    25. In compressed air plants and gas handling plants.

    26. In fuel oil processing plants and water classification plants.

    27. To control the conveyor/classifying system.

    Thus PLC is ideal for application where plant machine interlock requirements are finalized at

    a later stage and need changes during engineering trial runs, commissioning or normal use. It

    can be used extensively to replace conventional relay controls in power stations, refineries,

    cement, steel, fertilizer, petrochemical, chemical industries etc.

    A pplications can thus be extended from monitoring to supervision, control and management.
