Urgency of the research. Programmable logic controller are devices for controlling of various systems also in industry. If controlled device is complicated, it is problem to debug application, because of risk of its damage. For this purpose is better to use hardware training stand for testing of your designed application. Target setting. Training stand is as compact small device which is easy to move to another place. Also it allows to connect other hardware device for testing. Logical state hardware simulator is also designed for simulation of logic system with any user inputs with buttons or switches and also witch coloured lights for visualisation of output state.Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Training set allows to make simulation of control system with real parts before its practical use with expensive controlled system, where any mistake can cause a huge economist loses, but errors occurred during the simulation on training set only make warning and shows the weak place on design. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The questions of the networked structure of programmable logic controller structures are uninvestigated, so the next research will be focused to this. The research objective. The main goal is to create a compact device for training future application developers with a programmable logic controller, but it is also usable for developers from practice, who need to debug the program before installing it into real operation. The statement of basic materials. Existing training sets are large and expensive devices that are not easy to carry and cannot be expanded. Working with such devices is quite complicated. The designed training stand is a flexible and easily portable device. Conclusions. Main contribution is that students will gain practical experiences and skills that are essential for PLC programmers. This device supports also own creativity of students, because it allows to modify hardware composition. It uses the DIN rail system similar as in real installation cabinet. The stand also includes the human-machine interface for training of practical using of these devices.

hingga industri. Salah satu penerapan perlunya mengendalikan level air adalah pada boiler suatu pembangkit. Berbagai pengendalian terhadap suatu besaran di industri tentu memerlukan perangkat pengendali. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)  Rancang bangun sistem kendali level air dengan menggunakan PLC dan Human Machine Interface (HMI) ini menggunakan perangkat utama yaitu PLC FX3U yang dilengkapi dengan input analog, output analog, dan output PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). Level/ ketinggian air adalah objek yang akan dikendalikan. Suplai air diatur oleh pompa air DC yang terdiri atas pompa inlet dan pompa outlet. Sedangkan untuk sensor ketinggian air menggunakan sensor ultrasonic HC-SR04. Untuk memudahkan pengoperasian PLC, PLC dapat dikombinasikan dengan HMI yang mana terhubung di dalam jaringan dengan PLC. Untuk aplikasi jangka panjang, rancang bangun sistem kendali level air berbasis PLC FX3U dan HMI dapat difungsikan sebagai media pembelajaran di kelas pada mata kuliah yang berkaitan dengan elektronika industri, PLC, maupun mata kuliah lain. Berdasarkan pengujian dengan menggunakan kontroler PID di dalam PLC, diperoleh hasil bahwa ketinggian air dapat dikendalikan dengan eror rata-rata sebesar 3%. Nilai tersebut disebabkan karena perilaku dinamik air.

The slicer control system designed for production plants to manufacture flap disks was investigated using programmable logic controller (PLC) and servo. This system has been mainly developed to achieve the automatic flaps’ cutting and setting. It is implemented by a PLC, a human-machine interface(HMI), a positioning module, and senors, as well as servo amplifiers and motors. In the present work, the effect of response time on multi-axis synchronization has been studied. It was shown that the use of parameter adjustment allows the obtainment of reliable operating characteristic and permits one to enormously improve the accuracy of feeding length and rotation angle. The control system has been provided for industrial applications.

Technological developments have brought changes in the industry, the process that was originallydone by humans has turned to the automation system. In this paper the application of the automationsystem is carried out on the processing of palm oil. The system is made in the form of a simulation ofan automation system using the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Human MachineInterface (HMI). Automation of palm oil processing using PLC with the help of Unity Pro XLsoftware, monitoring processes using HMI with the help of Vijeo Designer Basic software, and analoginput simulated using a potentiometer. PLC receives and processes data from both analog inputs andfrom HMI. The process of cooking and extracting palm oil carried out by the PLC is displayed on theHMI. From the test results, it is known that the PLC can communicate with HMI and HMI can displaythe processes that occur in palm oil processing.

The invention of a can crusher machine in this project is to reduce the wasted storage space occupied by the tremendous amount of use aluminium can at the commercial establishment like in the restaurant, cafeteria and bar. Basically, can crusher machine be operated in manual effort and time in the can crushing process. Shrinking the initial volume of empty used-aluminium cans down to 50% in more effective, faster and effortless way, as well as to develop a low-cost device that is suitable for the small-industry usage are mainly the objectives for the Automatic Can Crusher, where an automated process is executed in Automatic Can Crusher due to the automation in the modern world is inevitable and nominal to be used. The Automatic Can Crusher is run by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with the aid of an inductive and capacitive sensor, where it is applied to detect whether the object is metal or non-metal. Overall, the system can be controlled manually through the push start and stop button as well as using the Human Machine Interface (HMI) using NB-Designer, for displaying the total of cans being crushed per day. The average result of empty can could shrink from 31% to 60 % of the original value, by using the attuned and compatible pressure for this system.


Energy efficiency of Induction motor (IM) is essential in the current scenario due to the reasons such as energy conservation and economic saving. In this project, the implementation of the safe speed control of IM is done. The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) monitors the speed and trips the motor under safety requirements. PLC is used to control three phase IM with the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). The availability of drive data and software helps to manipulate and analyze process the information. The Human Machine Interface (HMI) is used for the visual monitoring and control of the induction motor. The PLC based control platform makes system to be communicated to other devices on network and makes the system more flexible for its operation and control. The results shows that, the speed of the induction motor varies linearly with the change in frequency in HMI and the motor trips if there is any human interference within 10 cm operating range of IM.
