Plant control by PLC

We prefer to use the latest generation of PLC systems from Siemens for automating our bulk solids systems. These control systems monitor the sensors connected to the inputs of the switchgear and, depending on their value, control the actuators connected to their outputs according to the programme. Pressure sensors, temperature detectors, limit switches, rotational speed detectors, etc. can be used for inputs. The outputs control motors and actuators. The control has AND/OR functions, counters, markers and timers. This means that it can also act in a time-dependent manner. The use of a programmable logic controller allows control and regulating functions to be performed. We prefer to solve complex weighing processes using the Siwarex series from Siemens. Integration into customer-specific process control systems or communication with systems from other manufacturers is solved via standardised bus systems such as Profinet.
