Abstract:

This paper proposes a controller using an analog module of PLC for a heating system. The structure of the system includes a one-phase AC/AC converter, a heated resistance wire, a thermal sensor, an amplifier for a feedback signal and a cooling fan. Temperature of the heating wire is controlled by altering parameters of PID controller in a PLC module to vary its supply voltage. Finally, numerical and experimental results are illustrated to validatethe effectiveness of the proposed system.
