Abstract:
Most automation systems are spread through the branches of work. Specially in industry, accurate different kinds of costs can be reduced, beside high quality and quantity of production.
Thus, the research aims to introduce the application of programmable logic controller (PLC) to control crude oil storage tanks change over mode by using eight motor operating valves (MOVs) , booster pump , water draw off pump, and four level sensors.
After developing and loading the program into the (PLC), the system was simulated and modeled using soft-ware simulator provided by (Siemens) and Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system , and finally the system was performed in real world.
This project consists of six chapters, Chapter one introduces problem statement & proposed solution, approach & expected results. Chapter two explains process description . Chapter three introduces level measurement techniques. Chapter four introduces PLC in general . Chapter five explains Soft-ware design. Finally . Chapter six the conclusion & recommendation
