Industrial Monitoring System Using PLC

This document discusses an industrial monitoring system using a PLC that automatically monitors machines to address challenges with manual monitoring. An embedded power monitoring device is attached to each machine to record and transmit power consumption readings via RF to a central receiver. The readings are then displayed on a computer or LCD to monitor consumption from all machines in a centralized location and detect abnormal power usage, which can automatically disconnect power to that machine.

Industrial Monitoring System Using PLC:-


In industries with so many machines around, monitoring of machines
has become a challenge. Generally an engineer of a worker keeps
monitoring a machine manually on a control panel. But this is
counterproductive because when more number of machines are to be
monitored many people are required and also if the person is away from
the machine then that can lead various problems. Hence in this project a
PLC based automatic Industrial monitoring system is implemented. Many
such PLC projects are possible in Industrial domain.

Abstract
Very often in an industrial scenario there is a need to monitor the
power consumption patterns of individual units or machines.
Some rather minor factors can cause huge amounts of
unnecessary power consumption, which often go unnoticed and
incur huge expenses for industries. This project aims at providing
a system with which the power consumption of individual
machines can be monitored and recorded, from a central location.
In this project an embedded power monitoring device is attached
with the machine where the power consumption is to be
recorded. The embedded power monitoring device records the
power consumption in the unit and periodically transmits the
readings using a RF transmitter. The readings from all the
monitoring devices can be received with a single receiver and the
readings are then transferred to a microcontroller which again
displays the information on a computer. Hence the power
consumption from all the units can be monitored on a single
terminal. The readings can also be displayed on a portable display
like a LCD. Apart from the primary purpose of power monitoring
this project has extended capability in terms of upper threshold
for power consumption. With this feature when a particular unit is
consuming very high power or is showing abnormal power
consumption, the microcontroller unit automatically disconnects
the device, and gives an indication on the computer screen for the
users.
Existing System
1. Unnecessary power consumption due to defect in the machine
cannot be monitored accurately.
Proposed System
1.The power consumption of individual machines can be monitored and
recorded, from a central location.
2. An embedded power monitoring device is attached with the machine to
record the power consumption in the unit and periodically transmits the
readings using a RF transmitter.
3. The power consumption from all the units can be monitored on a single
terminal and can be displayed.
4. Whenever an individual unit or a machine consumes abnormal power
automatically the power will be disconnected to the device
