Wireless RF Module Speed Synchronization of Multiple Motor’s in Industries based on PLC and SCADA

Abstract

Multiple motor in industries like textile mills, paper mills and steel plants etc. use conveyer belts, for the synchronization of motor to maintain constant loads. This is achieve by interfacing independent PLC to each motor with a speed sensing arrangement with PLC, variable frequency drive (VFD) along with SCADA system. In this paper, prototype hardware is developed and their performance is seen. The objective of this paper is to synchronize the speed of multiple motor in industries using programmable logic controller (PLC) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA). The whole information of each motor will be displayed on SCADA screen like, RPM, motor ON/OFF and speeds mismatch display and alarm system.
