| Abstract | An interesting subject to note is that most manufacturing plants are striving for global competence.· Quality, and maintaining· it, has also been a major issue for global competitiveness. Automation has proven its indispensability by answering most of the pressing issues on this matter. However, though the techno'logy has increased in almost all aspects, it has not effectively reduced the number of operators involved and the presence of worker oversight to cope up with·emergency cases and during alarm periods. This greatly emphasizes the fact that PLC technology alone as applied on these so-called automated machines is not sufficient. The present research work has not only looked into the automating the process through PLC, but also tried to visualize and control the actual process through the application of concept of Human-Machine Interface with Windows Control Center. This shall help in reducing the human errors while monitoring and controlling the process of Crest Aqueous Cleaning Process. The need to see the design made and visualize how it works has given great potential for the use of WinCC in the field of manufacturing and other application areas. It has provided the much needed control of the whole real system from the graphics oriented output. It has also provided the authorized in the plant to see the whole processes any time as well as being able to stop or start the system directly from any connected remote computer controller without even going into the laborious process of physically visiting the whole production area. The WinCC and PLC technology tandem offer these advantages among others. |
