Abstract

In the era of industry 4.0, PLC plays a crucial role to engross the automation sector in the industrial unit. PLC can be considered as the hidden workforce that silently executes with the help of a Ladder Logic. PLC is not only applicable to the manufacturing network but is often used in the power industry too. A substantial portion of this work circumscribes the use of PLC for smart relaying. The relays are operated using the programmable logic control to increase the life span of a Squirrel Cage Induction Motor (SCIM), thereby protecting it from overheating. It also ensures that the conveyor unit maintains its tare weight within permissible limits so as to work in its fullest possible efficiency. This paper also focuses on renewable energy source (solar PV) to supply power to the three-phase induction motor in the manufacturing unit. With Industrial Automation, the data is being stored securely in cloud platform in large capacity to handle the Big Data being generated. Here, the concept of IoT has also been used, which is an autonomous system composed of sensor and intelligent device networks. The efficacy of PLC as a realistic tool has been shown through a simulation in Matlab/Simulink® environment, which serves to predict the real behaviour of the system. Thus, saving and optimizing the time, compared to costly trial and error experiments.
