Abstract

A firefighting system is the most foremost part of any industry and buildings as its aim to protect property, human and industrial equipment. In any pandemic situation like COVID19 it is utmost requirement to increase reliability of all important instruments which are directly involve to human life. In case of fire fighter fight against fire, this required time and skilled man power. Under these pandemic situation chances of infection spreading in firefighters and social distancing will not maintain during this situation. Only one way to resolve this problem is by implementation of fully automated reliable system. In this system we are trying to automate the total system by using hot redundant PLC which is fail safe. It consists of mainly three basic parts - fire storage tank, fire pumps and automated distribution system. Fire storage tank contains the water that used against fire. Fire pumps helps to fill the tank and automated distribution system will be activated during fire and instantly distribute water. There are three pumps one is main electrical pump, second one is diesel backup pump and last one is jockey pump.In redundant configuration there are two PLC acting simultaneously and the entire network component and power supply also has back up so that it will never fail. If one of the PLC fails during operation then second PLC automatically take care of the system within few millisecond. Similarly if power supply failure then UPS supply is also there for uninterrupted power supply.
