Design and implementation of three educational modules using PLC system

Abstract

This project stands on design and implementation of educational modules using one of the advanced control system. The most important one is the programmable logic controller (PLC) system. The idea comes from the needs of the universitys labs to such modules to teach and train the students on it. These modules are: 1- Full automatic washing machine controlled by PLC system. 2- Elevator controlled by PLC system. 3- Fan system controlled by PLC system. Where we designed the washing machine to do many tasks : filling water , heating , washing ( by alternating motion) , draining of water , and then drying by fast motion. Where as we programmed the elevator which is constructed previously , by using system and study the whole construction to determine any other needs. Finally , we designed and implementation a fan system , which constructed of two fans and one pushbutton , where we well program the system to operate the 1st fan by pushing the pushbutton , and the 2nd fan operates by the 2nd push , then the whole system stop by 3rd push.
