 What is PLC

A Programmable Logic Controller, or PLC, is a Micro controller Based Device  used for industrial automation. These controllers can make  automatic  for a specific process, machinery, Home Automation  or even an entire production line. Latching is used in plc as well as hardware circuit to make the circuit in continuously on condition.

 Latching Circuit in PLC

Generally Latching is a circuit used to keep the output continuously in on Condition. Latching is only applicable for the push button or switches which has spring act.
When you are using hardware circuit you can use relay or contactors, these two components is used to make load in on condition. In Below concepts we can understand the concepts of latching and unlatching circuit by using switches
  Case1: When you are using Toggle switch, latching is not required. Check in below circuit.
In this case toggle switch is used to on the motor, when switch is on motor gets on, toggle switch doesn’t have any spring action so when you activate the switch motor or load gets activated.
Case2: When we use push button it has spring action. It will on when you press the switch and it will  off when u release the push button. It will not on continuously.
 When we are using push button to on or off the heavy loads we need to use latching. Latching can be made by using Electromagnetic relay or contactors.
     Here we taken two Changeover Relay to make the circuit on continuously 
The above circuit showing that relay is acting as latching(Holding Circuit). When p.b is activated  relay get activated and motor gets activated continuously. In this case motor will  not off.

Latching and Unlatching Circuit.

Latching is nothing but load is in activated condition, Unlatching defines deactivation. In this circuit we taken two push button. i.e start and stop, Electromagnetic Relay is used for latching.
When  switch is pressed motor gets activated immediately and when stop p.b is on load will get deactivate.

accordance with  a stored program and generates outputs to control machine and process.

What Is SCADA System

By Prathima
SCADA                 Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition or SCADA is an automation control system used in industries such as energy, oil and gas, water power and many more.         The system has a centralized system that monitors and controls the entire country from industrial plants to plant premises.             The SCADA system works by working with signals that communicate through channels to provide the user with remote control of any device in a system.        There are some essential parts composed of highly controllers and monitoring Systems. 1. SCADA system human machine interface or HMI supervisory system remote terminal units 2. RTu  use programmable logic controllers or PLC and communication infrastructure. HMI processes the data and sends it to the human operator. Where they can monitor or control the system.          The supervi...

Introduction to CSS,Typography

By Prathima
  Introduction to CSS What is CSS? CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to control the style and layout of web pages. It allows you to separate content (HTML) from presentation, enabling better design consistency and easier maintenance. Why Use CSS? Enhances the visual appearance of websites. Makes websites responsive for different devices. Reduces duplication by centralizing styles. Enables consistent design across multiple pages. Types of CSS 1.      Inline CSS o     Applied directly to an HTML element using the style attribute. o     Use When: You want to apply a unique style to a single element. Example: html Code start here <p style="color: red; font-size: 16px;">This is an inline-styled paragraph.</p> 2.      Internal CSS o     Defined within a <style> tag in the <head> section of the HTML document. o  ...

Plc (Programmable Logic Controller) Communication/PLC communication protocols/Ethernet/IP

By Prathima
Plc (Programmable Logic Controller) Communication/PLC communication protocols. A program consists of 1 or more instructions that accomplish a task. Before writing the program in plc you'd wish to attach the module with PLC software by using communication port like RS232,Serial Communication,Modbus or Ethernet supported your application. you'd wish to offer the connection to all or any or any your input and out devices, Then you've to write down down the program in plc.. Ladder Logic is that the normal programming language . There are four basic steps within the operation of all PLCs; Input Scan, Program Scan, Output Scan, and Housekeeping. These steps continually happen during a repeating loop.        The communication protocol acts as an agreement between two or more communicating Devices. Extension modules PLC I/O number are often increased through certain additional modules by system extension through a extension lines. In PLC Each module can con...
