Projeto de automação de uma caldeira industrial usando CLP, IHM e a linguagem Ladder: estudo de caso em uma fábrica de bebidas

Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate a case study of an automation project of an industrial boiler, used in a beverage factory, using a PLC, HMI and Ladder programming language. During the development of the project, a flowchart was developed that synthesizes the starting routine and operation of the boiler, from which the Ladder language code that implements the automatic control of the boiler was created. The project aims, first of all, to modernize the drive system of the boiler making use of a PLC and a HMI. Secondly, to provide a higher level of safety during boiler operation by implementing automatic monitoring of boiler safety parameters. With the implementation of the project, the drive system was modernized and the automatic start and control of the boiler were implemented, simplifying and providing a higher level of safety during operation
