Logic Controllers

Sequential control using ladder logic, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and operator interfaces are commonly used in the manufacturing industry today. The introduction course of programmable logic controller is a course that needs a lot of practice. We present a project-based approach to teaching it by introducing real engineering projects into the process of theory teaching. The students show more enthusiastic during learning course and their abilities of solving engineering problems are greatly enhanced.

As the use of automation increases in the manufacturing industry as well as other industrial environments, more programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used in these areas to increase reliability and flexibility, reduce cost, and increase maintainability. In this proposed paper, a basic of PLC in automation environments is introduced and a bottle filling and packaging process control implemented by using Allen Bradly CompactLogix PLC is discussed.

The use of the programmable logic controller has advanced tremendously since its introduction in the late 1960’s. The programmable logic controller, affectionately known as the PLC in today’s industries, was first introduced as an electrical control relay replacer. The purpose of this paper is to assist those who are considering the application of a PLC in their facility to better understand where programmable logic controller technology has advanced to today.

NOVA Corporation of Alberta has developed a programmable logic controller based gas turbine fuel control system for natural gas compressor set applications. The system carries out all necessary fuel control functions and was integrated into the existing programmable logic controller used for sequencing and shutdown. The system has been successfully implemented on several different aero derivative gas turbines to date. This paper discusses the development of the system, its performance and advantages over standalone hardware-based fuel control systems typically used in the application.
