Belt Conveyor Monitoring and Fault Detecting Using PLC and SCADA

Abstract

In order to ensure the belt conveyor operation safe and reliable, centralised monitoring and control is very necessary. The main objective of this proposal is to monitor and detect the fault occurring in the coal conveyor using delta series PLC and SCADA. Faults such as belt tear up faults, oil level reduction fault, fire occurrence faults in the belt conveyor are not identified properly and thus leading to serious damage to the belt conveyor. In order to avoid this type of serious conditions, we are applying here various types of sensors in their operations using PLC and SCADA to provide proper protection for the belt conveyor in Thermal Power Plant. Manual control at present is more disadvantageous and is being the major reasons for frequent accidents. In order to reduce these accidents and for increasing further enhancements, automation is used. All parameters will be processed, controlled, and managed in the coal conveyor with help of sensors and plc.
