Monitor System for Automatic Grouting of Metamorphic Concrete Based on PLC and HMI

Abstract:

According to lower efficiency, non-uniform distribution and metering difficulty in grouting, this paper describes the development of monitor system for automatic grouting of metamorphic concrete. Based on PLC and HMI, it uses the knowledge of signal acquisition and hydraulic control technology. This system calculates the rotation division angle to measure the amount of grouting through the hall-switch installed on the rotor of slurry pump. The PLC will realize signal acquisition, slurry metering, and effectively control of the slurry pump by solenoid valves and hydraulic motor. In addition, the HMI provides the functions such as parameters setting, operation controlling and data displaying.
