Siemens PLC
Siemens PLC
(OP)
I´d like to know somethig,
I have a Generator(10 MW,13.8 KV, 60 Hz,8050 RPM) and We
want to work it, in automatic; this means make the
starting from open beam valves to turbine and finally
sinchronize it.
My question is, is possible to do with a PLC, with out
any problem, because this Generator was made in 1972.
Tanks a lot, friends

RE: Siemens PLC
You must sit down and specify exactly how you want the starting sequence to work - including safety procedures, and what it must do in an emergency.
When that done you can find out which PLC+HMI to use, and do the programming.
RE: Siemens PLC
it is very possible to hook up your generator to the PLC without any problem, even though it was made in 1972 provided it complies the requirements like: starting, start interlock and stopping sequence, the safety provisions, identifying the number of inputs and outputs, etc.
All you have to do is; an extensive planning..
RE: Siemens PLC
The most important things are very good synchronising and load sharing devices. In Ozz, I always prefer the locally manufactured Si-TEC Controllers. Leave Woodward stuff for dead. Not cheap though.
You only get what you pay for.
