Abstract
A fixture is a mechanical setup that holds a job so that it will aid the industrial processes carried out on it with ease, in terms of accessibility and reach. The processes may include manipulation of a job like rotation, clamping, declamping and positioning. Fixtures can be handled manually to hold a job. But such a manual process becomes tedious in complex processes. Hence PLC (Programmable Logic controller) can be used to automate the industrial fixture, to reduce the complexity of the process. In the following research we have developed a hardware simulator for a PLC based control system to simulate the automation of an industrial fixture and analyzed it for Category 4 safety.
