Design of Solar Water Heater
Automatic Control System Based on PLC
Abstract
Application of PLC in solar water heater automatic control system is researched in this paper. The content of this paper on the process of system hardware constitution and the system software design is emphasized . And the key of PLC design that is to satisfy the basic control function is pointed out , meanwhile maintenance convenience and system extension are also considerated. The content of this paper is divided into four parts. In the first part, the procedure of the system is established, and then the treatment flow chart is drawed out; In the second part, The address of I/O is resigned .and the suitable PLC type is choosed. The third part, the control ladder diagram is designed according to the requirement; In the end, the electrical principle diagram and the interconnection diagram are drawn.
Through the design of the solar water heater automatic control system, the components that is used in the solar water heater automatic control system are decreased. The performance of the system is lifted, and it has the feature such as simply interconnection, rapid and easy fault detecting and maintenance, and high reliability. In a word, the system becomes more advanced because of my design.
