DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PLC BASED INDUCTION MOTOR MONITORING CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract

In this project PLC based Induction motor (IM) monitoring control system has been designed, developed and tested under varying load condition. Also the implementation of the hardware and software for speed control and protection for IM were completed on induction motor. The PLC function is to correlates the operation parameters to the speed requested by the user and monitors the system during normal operation and under trip conditions.. The availability of drive data, coupled with the software to manipulate, analyze and process the information becomes a powerful source for the user. Performance of the induction motor driven by Sensorless control AC drive proves to be more robust and reliable for speed control. The PLC based control platform makes system to be communicated to other devices on network and making the system more flexible for their operation and control. The motor protection developed in the study is much faster than the conventional techniques and applied to larger mot...
