Control System Upgradation with Linear Actuator in Coil Unloading Machine

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, we are going to see about the project is to unload the coil for the dispatching process from metal plate to place in thermo coal with the help of linear actuator. The process of coil unloading is automated with the help of HMI, sensors, motors and linear actuator. This process is carried out through ladder logic methodology. The linear actuator application machine process is the machine based on the PLC (PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER) controller. Earlier PLC controllers are huge programmed size, spare parts are rare, inbuilt programming that could not change as per the requirements and the absolute models which is difficult to learn. The cam shaft mechanism takes over time to assemble the coil position. And also coils pick up and drop step by step process is difficult.To overcome this problem used the advanced PLC controllers model SIEMENS-S7 1200 instead of earlier telemechanic PLC controller because in this SIEMENS-S7 1200 model PLC the HMI is used to display the coil positions.
