Plc And Microprocessor Control Panel - Atlas Industries

PLC Control Panel is a gigantic microprocessor. Controller Unit is designed for customized high-end automation. A PLC may contain many microprocessors. PLC is preferred over microprocessors in automation. Hence in our asphalt and concrete plants, we have the option of a PLC control panel. It allows us to have a high degree of accuracy and customization. PLC is a Programmable Logic Controller where a high degree of accuracy, reliability, customization, and precision is required.

PLC Control Panel can take input from various sensors and give logical output. Microprocessor Controller is possible to view this data in a graphical manner through an HMI or a monitor. In a concrete or asphalt plant, we need to observe many readings/data. Combine the same to graphically represent the same on a screen. Even the basic functionality like increasing or decreasing any parameter will be easy.


How does an Asphalt PLC Work?

PLC or Programmable Logic Controller is a computer that is mostly used for industrial applications and industrial automation. PLC Control Panel can be used to automate a simple process or function of a machine. It can even be used to manage a complicated process. PLC Control Panel's advantage lies in the fact that it can be customized. It receives information from connected sensors. This data that it receives is used to process the required data. Data processed is used for some calculation or displayed as required on the screen. It can also be used to start or stop any process. PLC is a flexible and easy solution. We can modify the program as per our requirement and make it suitable for our needs.

PLC panel for asphalt mixing plants

In an asphalt plant, this can be used to do some calculations like displaying weight, temperature, total tonnage. PLC Control Panel can also be used to set cycle (batch) time, gates open-close timing, alarms, etc. We can start or stop the machine from PLC. It is also possible to store and display data as per different parameters. Production reports can be generated and printed with a few clicks. With the help of customized software, it is also easy to display reports as per different parameters.

PLC Panel For Concrete Mixing Plants

PLC control panel in a concrete batch plant is a very useful tool to manage and customize the operation of the concrete plant. It can be used to start or stop a plant. PLC stores and allows us to edit mixed material recipes. It also allows us to set batch timing. We can set the open-close type of cylinders, start-stop timing of belts, etc. PLC will help to store mixed material data in different formats and print the same. We can set the required weight for each bin of the mixer, concrete, water, and also additive. The entire process can be displayed on the main screen.


SCADA

SCADA is an acronym for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. As the name suggests it is used for accessing a panel from a remote location and get its data. SCADA is a system of hardware and software used by organizations to solve many purposes like:

  • Controlling industrial process locally or remotely: You can be traveling to any part of the world and if you have internet with you and at the plant then you can remotely access the control panel of your machine. We use this also to update software and to solve problems
  • Monitor and gather data: Another advantage of having SCADA in your system. You can see, gather, and monitor real-time data.
  • Interact with other devices through HMI: Once connected to the system via HMI we can access data of connected devices like valves, motors, pumps, burners, etc. We can also control the operation of these connected devices remotely.
  • Troubleshooting: Timely troubleshooting is very important when your project deadline is near and you need to complete things on time. If anything goes wrong or suppose you are not able to figure out any particular problem then remote access taken by your manufacturer can be a lifesaver for you.

SCADA definitely has an advantage over the normal control system without SCADA.



Difference between PLC and microprocessor.

PLC Control Panel is a big microprocessor. It does the same things but at higher speeds and performance. Its main advantage is that it can be customized. We can also add modules at a later stage and do changes in the software in the Asphalt plant control panel. This makes it very easy to adapt the machine to changing situations.

Some advantages of PLC:

  • PLC Control Panel is a microprocessor-based highly customized product for high-end applications.
  • It can be programmed to control anything.
  • Maintenance is less.
  • Troubleshooting of PLC is easy.
  • It can be updated at the site or even remotely.
  • It is programmed with a PC making it extremely user-friendly.
  • It is reliable and fast.
  • It is better in cases where dust and humidity levels are more. Hence it is the preferred choice for asphalt plants, concrete plants.
  • They can easily establish communication with other controllers.
  • They can integrate display units like HMI which makes the operation of any machine simple.

Disadvantages of a microprocessor:

  • Programming is hard because it understands only machine language.
  • It is a logic controller but in order to make it do another thing a lot of tedious changes need to be done.
  • They are machine specific.
  • Development is tough
  • Development time is more.

WHAT ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY DOES THE TOP ASPHALT BATCH MIX PLANT FACTORY HAVE?

If the requirement is top quality hot mix asphalt, then asphalt batch mix plant is the answer. It is best equipment to produce top quality hot mix asphalt in batches. It is well preferred only because of its ability to produce quality end product. Each material is weighed and the end product is far superior compared to the continuous mixing type plants. Advance technology that a top asphalt batch mix plant factory can have and will always be related to increasing the production and lowering the production costs. All this is done without hampering the end product quality. Atlas is Indian manufacturer and exporter of  hot mix asphalt plants  with distinct advantages like: Skid plates for all units Bag house with maximum cleaning efficiency Modular structure Containerized design Multi fuel and fuel efficient burner Renowned brought out items All the above points will help in increasing the overall quality of the product.  This also helps in giving certain advantages to custo...

Qualities of efficient bitumen sprayer | Atlas Pressure Distributor

 Any type of road work will require uniform spraying of bitumen prior to laying of hot mix asphalt. This is where the super-efficient  Atlas bitumen sprayer  comes into picture. Its job is to uniformly spray bitumen on the road while moving – so that hot mix asphalt can be laid for road building. Truck mounted bitumen distributors are highly accurate and efficient. They are preferred by road contractors because of the accuracy they have to offer. Its specialty is that it has to handle a very sensitive material – bitumen. The handling of bitumen and its spraying has to be done at a very specific temperature so that desired spraying result can be achieved. Since Atlas make bitumen emulsion sprayers are truck mounted they can be easily taken to places. The demand for high quality equipment is on a rise because it has the ability to get the work done with fewer efforts. Atlas manufactures and exports bitumen pressure distributors in below tank capacities: • 4 ton...

What is Drum Mix Plant ? Features of Asphalt Drum Mix Plant

An asphalt mixing plant can be categorised into 2 types. Both of them have their own features and advantages. There are two basic  types of asphalt plants  available in the market today. One is the drum type continuous plant and other is the batch type of asphalt plant. The features and advantages of drum mix plant are different when compared to the batch mix plant . The end result / product produced by these two plants is the same. However, the difference lies in the quality of the product produced and also in the process by which the two types work. A drum mix plant producing asphalt will do so in its different method. It will have its own advantages and features when compared with any other type. One of the top benefits will include its easy operation, maintenance and low initial cost of investment. A drum plant is always preferred for its ability to quickly produce hot mix asphalt in short period of time. Asphalt drum mix plant (Features and advantages) Compact design and ...
