Automated Diesel transfer system using PLC
Abstract: Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is used in many small and large scale process/production industries. In this paper, PLC is used to control the transfer of diesel required for the diesel generator (DG) when the main/local power supply goes off. A modelling of a diesel transfer system using PLC provides an effectual method to maintain uninterrupted power supply to continue the process/production which helps to maintain quality, reduced human intervention and …
