Introduction
due to the fast performance of DC motors, these motors are regulated in a wide
range of speeds and can be used in many applications. The main advantage of
using DC motors in today's world is the ability to easily control the speed and
angle of the motor. This project is about controlling the speed of DC motor by
using Programmable Logic Controller. The controller has more advantages than
conventional control circuits. The benefits can be noted such as reducing the size
of the control panel, very low energy consumption, Durable Equipment, Proper
operation in the worst cases. Using PLC for controlling industrial systems is
initiated in 1968 and, its development has been greatly accelerated in recent
years.
A simplified approach for speed control of a DC motor using programmable
logic controller (PLC) is presented. This approach is based on providing a
variable dc voltage to armature circuit of dc motor from a fixed dc supply
voltage via a PLC for supply voltage
control method. Relay based PLC control method is used for switching on or off
the resistors which are connected in series with armature and field circuits of dc
motor depending on the reference (command) speed for armature and field
control methods. It is easy, fast and
effective by this method of control to vary motor speed. The proposed system is
suitable for different industrial applications such as subway cars, trolley buses,
or battery-operated vehicles.
In this project we made an attempt to convert the conventional Dc motor into
computer controlled Dc motor which is an automatic and programmed using a
M3 soft software to control from computer using a programmable logic
controller(PLC).

Process Steps:
Make the connections with 4 mm test cables according to controller circuit in the
figure 10.and Make motor electric terminal connection according to the star
connection. then Make the connections with 4 mm test cables according to power
circuit in the figure 11. After taking the necessary measures, apply DC 24V energy
to the controller circuit and apply 3 phase AC 380V to the power circuit. Press
START button. Examine the movement of the motor.
And Press stop button when STOP button is pressed and observe the operation of
the motor.
Close all energy sources on the circuit. Undo the controller circuit in Figure 10
however leave power circuit as it is. In place of controller circuit, install the circuit
again according to the PLC technology schema in figure 13. Make PLC
inputs/outputs with 4 mm test cables over PLC I/O LINK module. Open Step 7-
Micro/Win program. Open ...\A01 Uygulamaları\A01Uyg1.mwp file in the
application CD and install it to the PLC. Set PLC to the RUN position. (
Application program is prepared for CPU 224XP. Program lines for different
PLC's must be taken as samples and must be arranged for various PLC's.) After
taking the necessary measures, apply DC 24V energy to the controller circuit and
apply 3 phase AC 380V to the power circuit. Press START button. Examine the
movement of the motor .and Press stop button when STOP button is pressed and
observe the operation of the motor.

Asynchronous motor with aid of PLC
Overcurrent Relay: A relay that operates or picks up when it's current exceeds a
predetermined value (setting value) is called Overcurrent Relay. Overcurrent
protection protects electrical power systems against excessive currents which are
caused by short circuits, ground faults, etc. overcurrent relays can be used to
protect practically any power system elements, i.e. motors, transformers,
generators, transmission lines
The overcurrent relay plot in either the rapid or planned enlistment write isn't
generally attractive for transmission lines due fundamentally to varieties in the
extent of the overcurrent under different framework working conditions and to
the relative estimation of the base overcurrent and the full load current of the
line.
The most elementary objects in Ladder Diagram programming are contacts and
coils, intended to mimic the contacts and coils of electromechanical relays.
Contacts and coils are discrete programming elements, dealing with Boolean (I
and 0; on and off; true and false) variable states. Each contact in a Ladder
Diagram PLC program represents the reading of a single bit in memory, while
each coil represents the writing of a single bit in memory, Discrete input signals
to the PLC from real-world switches are read by a Ladder Diagram program by
contacts referenced to those input channels .In legacy PLC systems, each
discrete input channel has a specific address which must be applied to the
contact(s) within that program. In modern PLC systems, each discrete input
channel has a tag name created by the programmer which is applied to the
contact(s) within the program. Similarly, discrete output channels - referenced
by coil symbols in the Ladder Diagram - must also bear some form of address or
tag name label.
