Procedure for developing a control system PROCEDURE FOR IMPLEMENTING THE CONTROL
1. Project design (preparation of the necessary plans and SYSTEM
documents) PROCEDURES Implementation of an electro pneumatic control 1.1 Formulation of task definition system: 1.2 Stipulation of how to implement control system Procuring all necessary components 1.3 Graphical representation of control system Installing the control system 1.4 Design of control system Programming 2. Selection and configuration of the electrical and pneumatic Commissioning the control system equipment 3. Implementation (setting up and commissioning INSTALLING THE CONTROL SYSTEM 2.1 Procurement of component Procedure for installing the control system Attachment and mounting of components The following items must be available before installing the control Wiring the signal control section system: Tubing the power part Complete circuit diagrams and terminal diagrams 2.2 Installation All electrical and pneuamtic components in accordance with Loading the program (if using a PLC) the parts list. Functioning testing Implementation of any necessary changes PLC ~ A programmable logic controller, PLC, or programmable controller is a digital computer used for automation of typically 1.3 Commissioning Updating documentation industrial electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or light Preparation of acceptance test certificate \ fixtures. Project design Procedure Tools for programming a PLC: Personal computer Formation of control task and stipulation of the requirements to Programming unit be met by the control center. Conceptual design of the control system and selection of the Procedure for program development: Design the Program necessary components. Enter the program in the personal computer or Graphical representation of the control task. programming unit. Planning of the control system and preparation of diagrams and Translate the program parts lists. Test the program Selection of components: Pneumatic drive units COMMISSIONING THE CONTROL SYSTEM Pneumatic valves When installation of the control system and program Control elements development is complete, the program is loaded into the main Proximity switches, pressure switches memory of the PLC and prepared for commissioning. PLC or types of relays to be used Three main purposes commissioning: Certain points to consider before the graphical representation of Testing operation of the control system under conditions control task: occuring in practice. How many steps are needed in the sequence? Carrying out the necessary settings on the control system Which drives are actuated in each step? Correcting errors in the control system Which sensor signals or what length of waiting time To complete the commissioning procedure, the documentation triggers the next step in the sequence? must be updated. This means: Documents necessary for setting up the control system: Entering current setting values Part lists Correcting circuit diagrams and terminal diagrams where Pneumatic circuit diagram appropriate Electrical circuit diagram If necessary, printing out the revised PLC program Terminal diagram
