Degreasing of a tank over Industrial Crane
A crane which is used for the cleaning of tanks in industry. It will took a thing(tank) from one place and put it into degreasing tank, wait for 10 sec. and then took it and put it onto other place.
The problem Degreasing of a tank over Industrial Crane solves
Statement: How it works?
When the start PB1 is pressed, the roller will coil up the hook until the up-sensor. The hook will then transverse left(via Q2) until it reaches the S4 position.
It will then stops and lower the product into the degreasing tank. When it reaches down to S2, the product will stay in the degreasing tank for 10 seconds. After the time is up,the product is lifted up and transverse left until S5 position and stop. It continue to come down. Until the down position, where the buzzer will sound. The operator will collect the product and press the return PB to return the crane back to the home position.
At anytime, the stop PB2 can stop the crane from moving. Upon release, it will continue from where it stops. The reset PB is used when you want to start over again from the beginning.
Abreviations used for the Inputs are:
S1-->I1, S2(down sensor)-->I2, S3(up sensor)--> I3, S4-->I4, S5-->I5, PB1(Start)-->I6, Stop-->IB, Reset--> IC, PB2-->ID
Abreviations used for the Outputs are:
Up--> Q1, Down-->Q2, Right-->Q3, Left-->Q4, Buzzer-->Q5
M--> It is used as the memory bit to hold the previous output generated.
T1--> Timer
It reduces the human efforts. As it is very difficult to degrease the large big tanks in the industry. So this industrial crane will help in taking of those large tank and put them in the degreasing tank where the degreasing operation will perform and then it will again taken off from degreasing tank after few seconds as decided and then it will be put to the other place. It is simple and easy process to clean the large big tanks. We can not only perform degreasing operation by the crane but we can also perfom some other large operations which can not be performed easily by the human efforts.
I had performed this project on to the software and it is demo, but if we want to see the actual Operation then we need to use PLC for it which will show the actual operation how is performing and it will be helpful in operating it too.
Challenges we ran into
While building this project, I didnot undergone through such kind of large bugs that will affect my project. But yes, while building the project through Ladder Programming we need to check and concentrate that what kind of NC(Normally closed ) or NO(Normally Open) or Memory Bit(Used to hold the previous output) we will use where as if we use different NC or NO or Memory bit on place where some other NC or NO or Memory bit is required, then it will perform some different operation, but not the operation that we require to perform. So this thing needs to be in mind.
Also one of the problem is that for running the software we need to use the Ladder Programming software that will be best suitable for executing the files. I have use the "ZELIO SOFT 2" software for executing the file.
Also we can use any software that will be compatible to execute the Ladder Programming, like "SoMachine Basic", "LogixPro", etc.
Below is the Link provided from where we can downlod the software and can test it. Or we can test it on any Ladder Programming Software too.
