PLC based Flow Process Trainer
The Flow Process Trainer (ACE 810) is designed to understand the elements of a flow process and its control. It consists of a pipeline fitted with orifice as flow device and a differential pressure transmitter calibrated to measure flow. One end of the pipeline is connected with a pump and rotameter. The flow of the pipeline is controlled by a control valve which operates on a 3 to 15 psi pressure signal. A current to pressure (I/P) converter is used to convert the output of the controller (4-20mA) to the signal pressure. The process parameter is controlled by a programmable logic controller by means of the I/P Converter and Control valve. These units along with necessary piping are fitted on the support frame. The setup is designed for tabletop placement and access. The PLC is connected to computer through USB for monitoring and controlling the process. User friendly software and ladder logic sample codes will be supplied along with the hardware to perform different set of experiments. The setup can be interfaced with any SCADA software using Modbus communication.
PLC based Level Process Trainer
The Level Process Trainer is designed to understand the elements of a level process and its control. It consists of a process tank fitted with a level transmitter and necessary drain valve arrangements. The inlet flow to the tank is controlled by a control valve which operates on a 3 to 15 psi pressure signal. A current to pressure (I/P) converter is used to convert the output of the controller (4-20mA) to the signal pressure. The process parameter is controlled by a programmable logic controller by means of the I/P Converter and Control valve. These units along with necessary piping are fitted on the support frame. The setup is designed for tabletop placement and access. The PLC is connected to computer through USB for monitoring and controlling the process.
