Assignment 1

This document describes an industrial control process that involves filling two containers with fluids simultaneously using pumps, emptying the full containers into a mixing chamber, mixing the fluids for 100 seconds, then emptying the mixed fluid and repeating the process. It includes a sequential flowchart and descriptions of the steps, which involve activating and deactivating pumps and valves based on limit switches to monitor filling and emptying of containers.

BENE 4233 INDUSTRIAL CONTROL

Assignment #1

The following is an illustration of the use of a sequential flowchart for programming. The
process (Figure 1a) involves two fluids filling two containers: When the containers are full , their
contents are then emptied into a mixing chamber, from which the mixture is then discharged. The
whole process is then repeated. Figure 1b shows the type of valve that might be used in such a
process. It is solenoid operated to give flow through the valve, and then, when the solenoid is not
activated, a spring returns the valve to the closed position.

Figure 2 shows the sequential function chart program and describe as follow:
(a) When the start switch is activated, fill 1 and fill 2 occur simultaneously as a result of the actions
of pumps 1 and 2 being switched on.
(b) When limit switch 1 is activated, fill 1 ceases; likewise, when limit switch 3 is activated, fill 2
cease.
(c) We then have the containers for fluid 1 and fluid 2 full. The action that occurs when both limit
switch 1 and 3 are activated is that the containers start to empty, the action being the opening of
valves 1 and 2.
(d) When limit switches 2 and 4 are activated, the containers are empty.
(e) The next stage, the mixing of the liquids, is then determined when limit switch 2 and limit switch
4 are both activated.
(f) After a time of 100s, the mixing ceases and the mixed liquids empty through valve 3.
(g) When limit switch 5 is activated, the program reaches the end of its cycle and the entire
sequence is then repeated.
