Automatic controlling and monitoring drainage system using CX-Programmer and Touchwin Xinje Designer: article

This paper present the Intelligent Automatic Drainage Monitoring and Control system which relies on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This system is proposed to overcome real time problem. The concept is to replace the manual work of drainage gate system by automated system. With the continued expansion of industries and global warming that caused unexpected rainstorm or flash flood, the increasing problem of drainage system must be urgently resolve. PLC is the major controlling unit and the drainage level is monitored by the sensor used. For the Intelligent Automatic Drainage System, level sensor are used to monitor the drainage water level an dc motor (24V) as the actuator for the gate system. The software that is used in this project is OMRON CX-Designer and OMRON CX-Programmer. These software are need to be integrated and linked with each other to develop sophisticated and user friendly system. Ladder diagram program used as the language to control the whole system.
