VI Based Diesel Plant Automation
Abstract
The objective of this project is to measure the inputs
required for diesel plant operation such as fuel level & temperature, air
circulation, engine conditions etc. After monitoring these conditions, the
engine will be started from front panel operations so as to enable the power
supply.
The measurements are also being taken in the out put side for Voltage,
Current, Power & Power factor. This monitoring and control is going to be
designed by using virtual instrumentation concept using LabVIEW software.
The virtual panel of this automated system is going to
monitor the input and output conditions through PCI - 6024 E DAQ card. This
card provides the conversion and amplification over the measured.
The LabVIEW software is for developing virtual instruments
which provides he functional compaibility with real time instruments. For real
time interface Data Acquisition Cards are used for acquiring the signal.
Analysis and control signal generation are generated by VI.
This can be
accessible via Internet, Network and TCP/IP with online reports. This software
is capable to detect the functional work of PLC, SCADA and MATLAB.
Additionally, it has a high storage capacity and speed since it is operated
based the processor specifications of the computer
