Application of Programmable Logic Controller in Bucket-Wheel Stacker Reclaimer Based on PROFIBUS-DP

Qihui Zhang

Abstract

The bucket-wheel stacker reclaimer controlled by the programmable logic controller (PLC) has the advantages of saving control cables and more? exible usage. Introduction was made to the application of PLC in the bucket-wheel stacker reclaimer. The control system adopted Siemens S7-300 PLC and Siemens TP270 touch screen with their hardware and software confi guration, using PROFIBUS-DP to control the actuators on the machine. The operational result shows that the control system is in possession of low failure rate, strong capacity of anti-interference, high reliability, steady and safe operation with less installation costs, and it is easy to install and convenient to maintain.
