PLC Based Pump Hydraulic Outlet Valve Automation

Abstract

Automation becomes very essential in industrial field so as to protect the industrial equipments from human errors and to make the industrial process works in an efficient manner by selecting an accurate operating parameters with reduce the production and maintenance cost. The outlet hydraulic valve of raw water pump operated manually by using hand pump and this causes many problems such as putting the raw water pump in danger besides a great efforts from operator is needed and the operation process takes long time. The main goals of this research is finding the solution for these problems by making this valve working automatically and that will be fulfilled by designing and implementing a new control system includes Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). So to accomplish this design the hydraulic valve system is well understood and then the controller is designed accordingly after that this design is simulated in order to check the control system design which has been implemented in the next stage and the whole system is tested and the hydraulic valve is working automatically
