Automation design for a syrup production line using Siemens PLC S7-1200 and TIA Portal software

Abstract

In the world of Automation Industrial, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the dominant types of automatic controllers, and so engineers are racing to develop the best software to give it the ultimate abilities to maximize the outcome. Basically, for understanding the concepts of controlling any process. Mathematical modeling is a mandatory procedure and hence this paper describes a method to model tank systems in order to control the input flow and the output flow. This paper also discusses the use of the Siemens PLC S7-1200 as the system controller with provision of the algorithm and the equipment needed. This paper describes the general concepts of controlling liquid flows and capacity in tanks as this process is useful in the automation industrial field. The proposed system is implemented with simple equipment in order to demonstrate the concept of the process and how it is controlled.
