Design and implementation of control Cabinet Based Siemens S7-300 Programmable Logic Controller PLC

Abstract

The present proposal is to design and implement of control cabinet-based Siemens S7-300 programmable logic controller (PLC). Using PLC in industries is easy, resilient, and more compact than the classic system. The cabinet will be used in both training and research activities. It consists of two parts hardware and software. The hardware consists of several cards such as power supply, Central Processing Unit (CPU), digital input, digital output, analog input, and analog output. On the other hand, the software is the Totally Integration Automation (TIA) and it will be installed on a Personal Computer (PC). The TIA is the latest version of Siemens software, and it consists of two parts, logic builder (Step7) and Human Machine Interface (HMI) builder. In TIA, the logical diagram and HMI pages of the process can be designed to fabricate supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). An applied program will be written and loaded in the PLC to test the overall system.
