Automatic Control of Temperature and Level of CSTR Using PLC and SCADA

Nanded-431606 Abstract— This paper presents an automatic control of temperature and level of Continues Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) using PLC and SCADA. The CSTR is heated using heating-coil and its temperature and level are measured by RTD and float type level sensor respectively. The accurate control of temperature and level are the realistic feature of this system and balances the process. Automation required gaining the complete control of manufacturing process to achieve consistency in manufacturing with increased productivity by shortening manufacturing time. In this paper we consider both Batch and Continues process control using PLC and SCADA. The PLC and SCADA control the process parameters with good accuracy and results are found to be satisfactorily. This is a simple automated process and can be applied in many mixing processes used in industries. Keywords— CSTR, PLC & SCADA
