Machine Information System for Bajaj Rotobar using PLC

Ruchira Gharote, Shantanu Channe

Abstract


Looking towards the importance of improved contamination-free of ginned cotton and a high degree of reliability and efficiency in the performance of machinery in ginning setup, rejuvenation, and automation in ginning is required. So, it turns out to be compulsory to continuously monitor the performance of the ginning machine. The main objective of the project is to monitor the performance of the machine and its troubleshooting with the help of the MIS system through PLC logic. The temperature control system plays a very important role in various fields like metallurgy, building materials, food, etc. By using this temperature control system, we can set temperatures as per our requirements. With the help of a PLC-based MIS system, we can create the time vs temperature Graph. Also, we can monitor the roll temperature hot spot with help of temperature sensor feedback. It will be very beneficial in calculating the performance of machines and hence do precautionary maintenance which will lead to an upsurge in productivity.
