Design of Atmel PLC and its Application as Automation of Coal Handling Plant

To raise human living standards, technical advancements are driven mostly by this source of inspiration. Directly and indirectly, technological growth increases and provides for human safety and comfort. The creation of technology for this use immediately influences life standards through the design of intelligent automation systems. Unlike general-purpose computers, the PLC is designed for multiple inputs and output arrangements. Now a days with the increase of industrial automation PLC's find replacement to hard drawn relay wires. An example of a hard real time system is a PLC, which must provide output results in response to input conditions within a finite amount of time. This paper is about designing of a PLC using atmega processor and its application as automation of coal handling plant making its operation smoother and flexible. Results and simulations were obtained based on real time conditions.
