Summary

The transcript explains an industrial automation group assignment, where students are tasked with creating a PLC program and HMI for automation systems, which could be for industrial or non-industrial cases like smart homes. The project requires solving a problem through sequential processes, utilizing sensors and basic PLC features such as counters and timers. The assignment includes detailed documentation, including an analysis of results and conclusions. The HMI must be synchronized with the PLC program, and creativity in design is encouraged. The final project is evaluated based on document completeness, PLC functionality, and HMI design.

Takeaways

• 😀 The group assignment for the industrial automation subject involves creating a PLC program and HMI for automation cases or systems, which can be either industrial or non-industrial.
• 😀 Each group must have a maximum of 6 members, and class sizes have been adjusted to ensure this grouping, with potential swaps between classes.
• 😀 Students should search for automation case examples online or refer to books by Frank Petruzella for inspiration on designing a PLC and HMI system.
• 😀 The assignment requires selecting a case with a clearly defined problem, such as a stirring system or an industrial packing system, and explaining the problem to be solved with the PLC.
• 😀 The process for solving the problem should be explained sequentially, and the system must incorporate the use of at least counter and timer features.
• 😀 Sensors in the system must be simulated as input from the outside, and HMI interfaces should include switches that simulate sensor readings (e.g., item counting or water level detection).
• 😀 The final deliverables include both the PLC and HMI programs, along with a comprehensive PDF document containing the cover, problem description, solution, IO address table, and HMI display.
• 😀 The document should also include an analysis of the results, explaining any advantages and disadvantages of the created system, and a conclusion reflecting how well the system solves the initial problem.
• 😀 A key requirement is describing the sequential stages of the process, including system start/stop operations, valve and motor control, and reset functionality for system cycles.
• 😀 The HMI design should be user-friendly and creative, with essential features such as start, stop, and reset buttons, along with any additional indicators necessary for the system's functionality, and names of group members displayed.
• 😀 The final assessment will be based on the document (30%), PLC program (35%), and HMI (35%), with creativity, functionality, and completeness being the main evaluation criteria.

Q & A

What is the primary task for the group project in the industrial automation subject?

The primary task is to create a PLC program along with an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) for an industrial automation case or process. The system could be related to industrial processes or something more practical, like a smart home or smart garage system.

How many people should be in each group for the EE group assignment?

Each group should have a maximum of 6 members.

What types of processes are suitable for this assignment?

The processes can range from industrial cases like stirring systems or egg packing, to non-industrial systems like those used in smart homes or smart garages. The case should involve a process that can be automated using a PLC.

What features must be included in the PLC program for the assignment?

The PLC program must include at least two main features: counters and timers, as these are basic features being studied in the course.

What is the role of sensors in the assignment?

Sensors are used to simulate input from outside the system. These sensors can include switches, water level sensors, or other types that detect external factors like tilt, weight, or flow. These inputs are then used in the PLC program.

What document should be submitted for the assignment, and what does it need to include?

The group needs to submit a PDF document that includes a cover page with the group number, title of the automation case, and names of the group members. It should also contain chapters on the problem, the proposed solution, the IO address table, the sequential stages of the process, the HMI display, and the analysis of results and conclusions.

What should the 'Problem' chapter explain in the assignment document?

The 'Problem' chapter should explain the issue being solved by the PLC, including a description of the process, its challenges, and why automation is necessary. For example, this could involve detailing a manufacturing process like mixing or packing.

What does the 'Solution' chapter include?

The 'Solution' chapter outlines how the problem will be solved using the PLC. It should detail the sensors used, their inputs, and the logic for controlling the system. The chapter should also include the IO address table and the sequential stages of the process.

What is required in the HMI design for the assignment?

The HMI should be designed to display key information and controls, such as start, stop, reset buttons, and other necessary indicators like motor status or sensor readings. The design should be clear, creative, and synchronized with the PLC program.

How is the project assessed?

The project is assessed based on several criteria: the quality of the document (30%), the PLC program (35%), and the HMI (35%). The document must include all necessary chapters, while the PLC program and HMI are evaluated on functionality, creativity, and completeness.
