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 are the main components of the asphalt mixing plant?

Image
There are many components that work in unison to make this plant complete. The feeder bins, dryer drums, filters for environment protection, tower unit, control panel, etc. Each component is discussed in detail below. Cold aggregate feeders: Cold aggregate feeders are the starting point for any batch process of the plant. They will hold the cold and virgin aggregates in separate bins according to their sizes. Different aggregate sizes have to be in separate bins because they will be controlled by the frequency-controlled drives. Charging conveyor and vibrating screen: Vibrating screen here is a single deck primary scalping screen designed for the removal of oversized aggregates. As the aggregates pass through the screen it helps in separating the bigger particles from the rest. From below the screen, a conveyor runs straight to the drying drum. This conveyor takes the aggregates from below the vibrating screen and transfers the same to the drying drum. Burner and drying drum: This drum

160 Tph Wet Mix Macadam Plant For Myanmar | Atlas Industries

Image
Atlas has dispatched its 160 tph wet mix macadam plant for Myanmar. This is our second soil stabilization plant. The plant is equipped with components and wiring complete in all aspects. This will allow us to produce in quick time. The machine selected is a stationary type. Wet mix macadam plants usually mix different sizes of aggregates along with cement and water. This addition is done in the pug mill type mixing unit. Each material is weighed separately before it gets into the mixing zone. The percentage of cement added in the wet mix macadam plant is usually 3-5%. Wet Mix Plant Export Myanmar : WMM Plant capacity is rated at 160 TPH. There are some factors that will affect the same. The aggregate mean density should be 1.6 ton/m3. If soil is sticky then the production will drop by at least 20%. The reason is that as the soil gets sticky they render more load on the mixing blades. The mixing blades then give more load on the gear and motor. Hence to avoid excessive wear and tear or
