4. About Industry Automation
Industry Automation is the uses of industry control system to reduce
the need for human work in the production of goods and service.
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.

5. PLC- Programmable Logic Controller
A Programmable Logic Controller is a specialized computer used
to control machines and process.
PLC Uses a memory to store instructions and specific functions
that include ON/OFF
control, timing, counting, sequencing, arithmetic and data
handling.

7. Advantage Of PLC control System
Flexible
Faster Response time
Less and simple wiring
Solid-state – no Moving part
Modular Design - easy to repair and expand
Handle much more complex system
Easy to troubleshoot
Less expensive

8. PLC Used in Niagara Textile
Two type PLC I saw in Niagara textile:
1. TSX-Micro 3722-101
2. Logimate P160

9. Typical work done by PLC in Niagara Tex:
1. Controlling of finish Fabrics Diameter
2. Speed control of induction motor
3. Water level control for dyeing machine
4. Different type of temperature control
5. Automatic dyeing processing with control
6. Control finishing machine
7. Control shift counter
8. Identification of safety work.
9. Emergency Alarm system

12. The Processor
Is the brain of the PLC
Consists of a microprocessor for implementing the logic, and
controlling the communications among the modules
Designed so the desired circuit can be entered in relay ladder
logic form
The processor accepts input data from various sensing
devices, executes the stored user program, and sends
appropriate output commands to control devices.
12
14. Input Module
Forms the interface by which
input devices are connected to the
controller.
Input device is physically wired
into the system.
Like temperature sensor, water
level sensor, pressure sensor.
Figure: Input Module

15. Output Module
Forms the interface by which output field
device are connected to the controller.
PLC employ an optical isolator which uses
light to electrically isolate the internal
components from the output terminal.
Figure: output module detail.

16. Power Supply
Supplies DC power to other modules
that plug into the rack
In a large PLC systems, this power
supply does not normally supply power
to the field device
In small and micro PLC systems, the
power supply is also used to power field
devices.

17. Programming Device
Figure: PLC connected with Programming device
A personal computer(PC) is the most commonly used programming
device
The software allows users to create, edit, modify, and troubleshoot the
program.
The personal computer communicates with the PLC processor via a
serial or parallel data communication link.

19. Basic Device Connectivity
PLC Connected with Laptop
using serial Port
And inverter connected to PLC
Motor connected to Inverter.
So, here make a program in
computer, transfer the program to
PLC and control motor from PLC
Computer is also used for
monitoring device activity.
19
24. Human Machine Interface
This device is used for:
Manually control PLC
Monitor device activity in different level
24
25. Practical Example
Mixer Process Control Problem
Mixer Motor to automatically stir the
liquid in the vat when the temperature
and pressure reach at preset value
Alternate manual pushbutton control
to start/stop motor manually.
The temperature and pressure sensors
switches close their respective contacts
when condition fulfill.

26. Process Control Relay Ladder Diagram
Motor starter coil is energized when both the sensors are
closed or pushbutton is pressed.

27. PLC Input Module Connection
The same input field devices
are used
Those devices are wired to
the input module according to
the manufacturers labeling
scheme
27
28. PLC Output Module Connection
Same output field device is used and wired to
the output module
28
29. PLC Ladder Logic Program
The format used is similar to that of the hard=wired relay circuit
29
31. PLC Operation Cycle
During each operating cycle, the controller examines the status of input
devices, executes the user program, and changes output accordingly.
The completion of one cycle of this
sequence is called scan. The scan
time, the time required for one full
cycle, provides a measure of the
speed of response of the PLC
31
32. Personal Computer Based Control System
Advantages:
Lower Initial Cost
Less hardware and software required
Straight-forward data exchange with other system
Speedy information processing
Easy customization
32
33. Recommendation
Need skilled person in this automation field
Need extra course in study level
Make some part of Automation system wirelessly
Well this is a big sector and we have to take it seriously
Need more opportunity for practical works

34. Conclusion
In my total internship period I learn lots of things related to industry
automation. I tried to focus those things into my presentation.
Mostly I focused about automation and programmable logic controller.
This presentation I try to show how I learn and how to work in
practical field.
Most time I saw connectivity and controlling. This connectivity and
controlling is related to programmable logic controller. PLC is so much
important device in this sector. Plc doing many types of automation
works in industrial field.
