Abstract
At the eve of the 21st
century, the demand for accuracy and better control over the minuteness of the
infrastructure is gigantically increasing with the technology. The world is now
focusing its attention upon the subjugation of the human being by automatic
machines in the industries. These can work and meet the needs in a more accurate
and efficient way.
The Industrial Mixer is a
hardware n’ software based PLC based system to produce twelve different colors
automatically. This system uses a software build on Programmable Logic
Controller and is build on all electronic hardware comprising interface cards,
electronic sensors, pumps, a motor, electric drainage solenoid etc.
The user of the system is
provided with a keypad. He has to press the key for his desired color seeing the
provided catalogue and in a while he gets the color.
This is a rule perfectly
compliant to the objective of the comprehensive automation. The system runs on
the fact that all the colors of the universe are the extracts of only a few. The
most basic are accounted as Red, Green and Blue (the RGB colors). In our system
we have used the basic colors with a little bit difference. The three basic
colors we have used are:
Blue
Magenta
Yellow
These are placed in the storage
of the system and are utilized in definite proportions through hardware as
directed by the software.
The
Significance & Applications of the Project:
The
designed system has a very wide scope of applications in all sort of our
industries. It is actually a general-purpose liquid mixer. Any industry making
use of the mixing process can employ this system with a little bit of
modifications in the prototype depending upon the needs. This project is
actually made to demonstrate how the conventional ‘dyeing master’ of the
cotton industries may be replaced by an electronic system bringing about radical
change in the economy of the industry.
