ABSTRACT-
To automate tank parameters using PLCs is important for ensuring safety, energy efficiency, and real-time monitoring in industries. Manual monitoring and control methods can cause errors, delays, and inefficiencies, leading to safety risks and higher costs. This project focuses on using PLC and SCADA to monitor and control industrial tank parameters, specifically water level and temperature regulation, which are crucial for safe and efficient tank operation. To ensure accurate monitoring, sensors were chosen based on factors like accuracy, cost, durability, and ease of integration. A level sensor is used for water level control due to its simplicity, low cost, and reliability. It provides an ON/OFF signal, which is easy to integrate with PLCs for precise monitoring for temperature measurement, the RTD PT100 sensor is selected for its accuracy, stability, and wide range, ensuring effective temperature regulation. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) automates decision-making using real-time sensor data, while SCADA allows for remote monitoring, data logging, and system visualization. This setup allows operators to manage tank parameters from a central interface, improving safety, efficiency, and maintenance This paper emphasizes the importance of sensor selection, automation, and communication technologies in optimizing tank operations. By using a PLC-SCADA system, industries can reduce human error, prevent failures, and boost overall productivity.
