Integration of Linear Displacement Encoder and Servo Motor for 180 Ton Powder Compacting Press

Industries are grown drastically in now a days without influence of human beings, this is achieved only through automation. In this project we are going to design a press for powder compacting by integrating the linear displacement encoder and servo motor. The main advantage of using servo motor is to save the power consumption up to 30%. LVDT is mainly used to control the position of moving bolster. The total setup is controlled by the ladder logic which is framed by PLC. The PLC program is written through total integrated automation. The PLC used in this project is SIMATIC S71200 PLC, which is manufactured by Siemens company, it is used to control the operation also it will indicate when the fault or overload is occur. The control panel designed and monitoring for 180 ton powder compacting press. The power panel consists of PLC kit, Transformers, SMPS, protection and safety circuit. The panel board wiring reduces the complexity of the system hardware. The servo motor is controlled by the VFD driver circuit. The output terminal from the PLC is connected to valves and motor, alarm etc.
