IMPLEMENTATION OF A ROBUST CONTROLLER BASED SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION.

Project Area of Specialization

Electrical/Electronic Engineering

Project Summary

The project is implementing a modern and robust system advance version of programmable logic controller (PLC). The system will be using the cortex M4 microprocessor. The system will be using reliable communication protocols; ethernet, can bus, spi  and usart to transfer data and messages. Keypad and LCD will be attached to the controller where the user can  control machine speed and select different options for instance control on/off the machine, set the rpm of the motors and take the reading of sensors from the display 

The system will be having proper sheilding for external interferences and harsh industrial enviroments.

Project Objectives

1. Successful hardware and software integration of the modules ie controller board, memory card, powersupply, ethernet tranciever, can tranceiver, lcd, keypad and sensors.

2. Successful implementation of can protocol, ethernet protocol in the system tested via motors.

3. Succesful shielding of system from external interference.

3. Cheaper than plc
4. Built in Display and keypad
5. Different controls via built in keypad
6. No external modules required
7. More number of input and output pins

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

In this project we are using 32bit cortex m4 microprocessor having 1MB flash memory  and 192kb ram. This processor will be performing all the processing in our system. It will be paired with different modules for implementation of different protocols i.e CAN bus, Ethernet,SPI and UART.

We will be using baremetal programming for all the coding involved for the proper working of modules and performing of different operations.

After all the implementation of all the protocols we will be providing sheilding using electrostatic material for whole pcb and we will be clearing out all unevenness on the pcb board surface so that nothing gives antenna effect. AC filters will be used to reduce the noise which can be harmfull for the system and can distrupt the signal. All the cables which will be longer then 5cm would we twisted and sheilded.
