PLC BASED FIRE-FIGHTING PUMPS CONTROL

Abstract

There are many possibilities a fire can start in an industry or in any remote area. For example, in cotton mills, garments, fuel storages, etc., electric leakages can lead to huge damage. Also it’s a worst-case scenario, causing heavy losses not only financially but also destroying areas surrounding it. A reliable is the emerging solution to protect human lives and their wealth and surroundings. The aim here is to design a RELAIABLE FIRE FIGHTING CONTROL using programmable logic controller “PLC”. The conventional methods need to be modernized and its various functions are required to be automated to achieve reduced cycle time, higher productivity, higher levels of accuracy and high reliability. The age of automation has brought a new meaning to electronics in industry. Modernization and Automation of industrial machines generally comprise modification into a state-of-art Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) wherein the conventional relay control is replaced.
