  11. 1.5 Basic elements of an automated system - Basic elements of an automated system: 1. Power to accomplish the process and operate the system. 2. A program of instructions to direct the process. 3. A control system to actuate the instructions.
  12. Elements of Automated system 1. Power source: An automated system is used to operate some process and power is required to drive the process as well as controls. There are many sources of power available, but the most commonly used power is electricity. The actions performed by automated systems are generally of two types: (a)Processing (b)Transfer and positioning In the first case, energy is applied to accomplish some processing operation on some entity. The process may involve shaping, moulding or Loading and unloading. All these actions need power to transfer the entity from one state or condition into more valuable state or condition. The second type of actions-transfer and positioning. In these cases, the product must generally be moved from one location to another during the series of processing steps.
  13. 2. Program of instructions: The actions performed by an automated process are defined by a set of instructions known as process. The programmed instructions determine the set of actions that is to be done automatically by the system. The program specifies what automated system should do and how its various components must function in order to accomplish the desired results. 3. Control system: The control element of the automated system executes the program of instructions. The controls in an automated system can be: (a)Closed loop (b)Open loop. (b) Closed loop control system: It is also known as a feedback control system. In this system the output variable is compared with an input parameter and any difference between the two is used to drive the output into agreement with input.

Cell or Group Level: This is another automation level at which operation of a group of machines within a manufacturing cells are co-ordinated. Various automated controllers like PLCs are employed for such control of machines. Shop Floor Level: It is a supervisory automated level where supervision and coordination of several manufacturing cells are carried out. Plant Level: This automation level performs the activities of production monitoring, control and scheduling, etc. HMIs employed at this level facilitate to control all the manufacturing process variables remotely. Enterprise Level: This level does all the management related activities such as production planning and scheduling, etc.
  22. 1,10 Low Cost Automation Low cost automation is a technology that creates some degree of automation around the existing equipment, tools, methods, people etc. using mostly standard component available in the market. A wide range of activities such as loading, feeding, clamping, machining, welding, forming and packing can be subjected to low cost automation Low cost automation is very useful for process industries, manufacturing, chemical, oil or pharmaceuticals. Many operations in food processing can also be done by low cost automation system.
  23. Benefits of Low Cost Automation Benefits: 1. Reduce manual controls without changing the basic set up. 2. Low investment 3. Increased labor productivity 4. Consistent quality 5. Better utilization of material.
  24. Advantages of Automation The main advantages of automation are: 'Increased throughput or productivity. 'Improved quality or increased predictability of quality. 'Improved robustness (consistency), of processes or product. 'Increased consistency of output. 'Reduced direct human labor costs and expenses.
  25. Disadvantages of Automation The main disadvantages of automation are: Security Threats/Vulnerability: An automated system may have a limited level of intelligence, and is therefore more susceptible to committing errors outside of its immediate scope of knowledge (e.g., it is typically unable to apply the rules of simple logic to general propositions). Unpredictable/excessive development costs: The research and development cost of automating a process may exceed the cost saved by the automation itself. High initial cost: The automation of a new product or plant typically requires a very large initial investment in comparison with the unit cost of the product, although the cost of automation may be spread among many products and over time.

  28. Chapter 2 — Fluid Power Control and Hydraulic, Pneumatic Circuits
  29. 1.11 What is Fluid Power? ' Fluid power is energy transmitted and controlled by means of a pressurized fluid, either liquid or gas. The term fluid power applies to both hydraulics and pneumatics. Hydraulics uses pressurized liquid, for example, oil or water; ' Pneumatics uses compressed air or other neutral gases. ' Fluid power can be effectively combined with other technologies through the use of sensors, transducers and microprocessors.
  30. How does Fluid Power Work? Pascal's Law expresses the central concept of fluid power: "Pressure exerted by a confined fluid acts undiminished equally in all directions. ' alaæ Pascal 1 623 - 1662
  31. 1 12 Fluid Power Applications Mobile — Backhoes — Graders — Tractors - Truck brakes — Suspensions — Spreaders — Highway maintenance vehicles
  32. Fluid Power Applications ' Industrial — Metalworking equipment — Controllers — Automated manipulators — Material handling — Assembly equipment
  33. Fluid Power Applications Aerospace — Landing gear — Brakes — Flight controls — Motor controls — Cargo loading equipment
  34. 1,13 Fluid Power System : Components A typical fluid power system includes the following components: Hydraulic pump or air compressor Cylinder or motor Valves Filters, regulators and lubricators Manifolds, hose, tube, fittings, couplings, etc., Sealing devices Accumulators and rese r VO i r S Instruments, such as pressure switches, gauges, flow meters, sensors and transducers
  35. 1.14 Pneumatic and Hydraulic Control Pneumatic Control Is: > Clean > Intrinsically Safe > Overload Safe Comparison Hydraulic Control: > Is Infinitely Controllable > Produces Extremely Large Forces > Requires High Pressures > Requires Heavy Duty Components > Inexpensive for Individual Components
  36. Differences in Symbols Hydraulic Pump Pumps and Motors differ only by filling in the direction arrow or leaving it white. Supply and Pilot arrows are also filled in or left white. Hydraulically Actuated and supplied 3/2 Pilot Spring Compressor Pneumatically Actuated and supplied 3/2 Pilot Spring
  37. Differences in Symbols Cylinders and other actuators also differ with respect to supply and direction arrows. Hydraulic Double Acting Cylinder Pneumatic Double Acting Cylinder Many symbols do not change, for example the Filter symbol. Hydraulic Filter Pneumatic Filter Remember however that the physical construction is completely different. For example, hydraulic filters can be either Suction Strainers (suction side of the pump), Pressure Filter (pressure side of the pump) or Return Filter (in the return to tank line). Each filter requires different properties.
  38. Differences in Principles and Properties Pneumatic systems rely on a supply of Compressed air flowing through Pipes to Actuators. The Force for work is produced due to the Pressure of the Air acting on the Area of the actuator. Air is Compressible. Gas laws such as Boyle's and Charles's Laws govern medium behaviour Actuator demand is measured in m3 per hour or operation Compressor output is measured in m3 per hour Free Air Delivery (FAD) Hydraulic systems rely on a supply of incompressible fluid flowing through Hoses to Actuators. The Force for work is produced due to the Pressure of the Oil acting on the Area of the actuator. Oil is considered Incompressible. Bernoulli's and other Fluid Flow Laws govern medium behaviour Actuator demand is measured litres per minute for a specific speed Pump output is measured litres per minute Both Hydraulics and Pneumatics are described with Pascal's Law and F=PA
  39. Differences in Construction The hydraulic Power Pack contains the Pump, (Reservoir), Tank Filters and commonly a Relief Valve for protection of the system. The unit is usually local to the machine that is using it. Hydraulic pumps are Positive usually Displacement devices which means they displace all the oils they pump. ECOAIR/Ø» e o 3 The Pneumatic Compressor installation usually includes a Dryer and Receiver. The unit is usually remote from the machine that is using it.
  40. Differences in Application c, VOGEL-BAU Hydraulic systems are used where large forces are required such as in earth moving heavy equipment, cutting, Pressing and Clamping Pneumatic systems are used for relatively light moving, Clamping and Process operations
  41. Directional Control Valves Hydraulic Control Valves Flow Control Valve Pressure Control Valves
  42. 1,15 Directional Control Valves Directional control valves fall into one of two categories: Shear Action Lapped Spool Packed Spool Packed Bore Bonded Spool Poppet Metal Face Bonded
  43. 1,16 Pressure Control Valves A pressure control valve can be used : I-TO limit the maximum pressure 2-To set a back pressure 3-To pass a signal when a certain pressure is reached 4- To protect the pump from over pressure
  44. 2-Way Valves in a Circuit The 2-way DCV is used here to isolate fluid flow from the 4- way DCV until needed. The current condition shows no flow going to the 4-way DC Vs.
  45. 3-Way Valves in a Circuit x In the circuits above, each cylinder has something to push it back. The ram on the left has the weight of the ram and gravity to return it to the starting position. On the left, a spring returns the rod to its starting point. 3-way valves have other functions as well.
  46. 4-Way Valves in a Circuit Whether in a hydraulic circuit or a pneumatic circuit, 4-way DC Vs function the same. The two triangles at the bottom represent the supply source, hydraulic on the left and pneumatic on the right. The direction of the cylinder in both cases is determined by the envelope chosen. Envelopes are shifted by an "operator."
  47. 1,17 Valve Operators Push Button Hand Lever Hydreulic Pilot Pedal or Treadle Air Pilot Mechanically Actuated Symbol Manual operators such as the push button, hand lever, and foot pedal, use human power for actuation. Mechanical operators use a machine component to contact a roller or ball bearing. Pilot operators use a fluid to move the spool. A solenoid uses electro-mechanical force to move a spool or poppet.
  48. Pneumatic Valves Exhaust Center Pressure Center Blocked Center The operating principles of pneumatic valves are identical to the ones used in hydraulics but there does exist a difference in the schematic symbology. First, you may notice that the arrows are "canted" or at an angle. This serves only to Distinguish them from hydraulic DC Vs and nothing more. Second, these valves are often referred to as 4-way valves although they have 5 ports. The reason is that there is an additional exhaust port, usually not found in hydraulic valves.
