PLC Installation Assignment
G'day. I am currently studying syswin and OMRON CPM PLC's and have been told to prepare an installation procedure and report for the following specifications. Firstly, I am in no way asking people to do it for me. I am just unsure of a few aspects and have some questions below
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Specifications
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Water level in a tank located indoors at a soft drink bottling plant is to be maintained between two preset points as determined by two float switches. Water is pumped into the tank and gravitates out. The pump is to be turned off when water reaches the top switch and is to be failsafe.
Two extra float switches are to be provided for a High and Low alarm.
A flow switch is to be provided after the pump for monitoring flow/no flow condition.
The pump will have a stop and start pushbutton.
Control Isolating and Emergency Stop switches using an MCR are to be used.
The PLC is to be monitored in a small enclosure, within 10m of the tank.
An OMRON CPM PLC is to be used to monitor the tank levels and alarms and monitor and control the pump.
The area is subject to jets of water and an ambient temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees C.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have decided to use normally closed switches for failsafe operation and chosen an IP rating that coincides with the environmental conditions. I would like to have help with choosing an appropriate PLC size and specs, and how to go about doing the following diagrams:
-Process flow diagram of the installation
-Wiring diagrams of the 240V power supply to the PLC and pump
-Wiring diagramsof the inputs from the sensors
to the PLC including 24V DC, and outputs from the PLC to the motor and any other outputs
-Emergency shutdown Isolating and stop/start wiring diagram
Once again, I am not expecting people to write there answer in pages covering everything i have listed. Any contribution at all is greatly appreciated. Many Thanks
