SPEED CONTROL MODULE TRAINER INTRODUCTION

VPAT-10

The Speed of the AC motor is controlled using Versamax Micro PLC. The PLC acts as a error detector and controller (PID).

The set point is given to PLC and the PLC compares the setpoint (SP) and process variable (PV) from the motor and creates an error value and produces the control variable (CV) to the motor unit. Thus the motor is controlled using PLC. SPEED CONTROL MODULE: This module maintains the speed of AC motor to the set point using PLC. The speed of the motor is measured using optocoupler sensor. The output of optocoupler will be a series of pulses depending upon speed of the motor. This pulses are converted into voltage using frequency to voltage converter. This voltage is a process variable (PV) and is applied to the analog input of PLC. The set point Is given through the software. The PID control action was taken by the PLC and gives the controlled output analog output channel. This controlled output will maintain the speed of AC motor at Its set point. Thus we form a closed loop control using PLC.

SPEED CONTROL MODULE TRAINER PROGRAM EXPLANATIONS: PID IND BLOCK

VPAT-10

The independent algorithm (PID IND) is the close loop control algorithm. The PID function has six input parameter: a process set point (SP), a process variable (PV) , a manual / auto Booelan switch (MAN), a manual mode up adjustment input (UP), and manual mode down adjustment (DN). It also has an address, which specifies the location of a block of parameters associated with the function. It has two output parameters, a successful Boolean output and the control variable result (CV). If the manual input is true, the PID block is placed in manual mode and the output control variable is set from the Manual command paramter %Ref + 13. If either the UP or DN inputs are true, the manual command word is incremented or decremented by one CV count every PID solution. For faster manual changes of the output control variable, it is also possible to add or subtract any CV count value directly fo / from the manual command word. Parameter Address Description The Variable's address is the location of the PID control block information, which consists of 40 consecutive registers of %R, %P, or %L memory. SP is the control loop set point. Data Type: WORD

SP

PV

PV is the control loop process variable. Data type : word. When energised, the PID function is in MANUAL mode. When energised, if in MANUAL mode, the CV output is adjusted up. When energised, if in MANUAL mode, the CV output is adjusted down.

MAN UP DN SCALE INT

Use this function to scale an input value and place it in an accumulator. This function has five inputs/parameters. For the integer based version of the function (SCALE-fNT) all the paramets be integer based (signed).
