G. Madhan, G. R. Kandhasamy, S. Muruganand . Design and Implementation of PLC based Computerized Monitoring in Dip Coating System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 57, 16 ( November 2012), 15-19. DOI=10.5120/9197-3720
The present study is about the design and implementation of dip coating system based on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) technology. The PLC correlates the operation parameters control required by the user and monitors the system during normal operation and under dipping conditions. Tests of dip coating system driven by DC motor driver and controlled by PLC prove a higher accuracy in regulation as compared to manual human works. The implementation of the hardware and software for control system and results obtained from tests on dip coating performance is provided. Thus, PLC is proved as a versatile and wide effective tool in industrial control of electric drives.
