Design and Application of Siemens SMART Series Controller in Industrial Dust Removal System

Abstract: At present, the automation integration of industrial dust removal system is getting higher and higher. This project is a small industrial dust removal project, so SMART series SR20 is used as the controller. The communication between the touch screen and the PLC is realized through Ethernet, and the communication between the PLC and the inverter adopts the USS protocol. Through the touch screen to realize the monitoring and control of the system, including the valve system and the fan frequency conversion system.

1. Project introduction

Due to the large amount of waste gas dust generated in industrial sites, filter cartridge dust collectors are used more and more widely in air treatment projects as high-efficiency purification equipment for filtering dust. The dust removal system consists of the following parts: filter cartridge dust collector, external fan, cyclone dust collector, piping system and electric control system. The main functions of the electronic control system are: fan frequency conversion control, pipeline air valve control and differential pressure cleaning system. Considering the simplicity of system control, SMART products of Siemens' new generation of small automation products are selected as the controller of the electronic control system.

Figure 1 System block diagram

Figure 1 is a block diagram of the system. The system consists of the following parts: cyclone dust collector, filter cartridge dust collector, dust removal fan, piping system, frequency conversion control system and online pressure difference back-blowing system. The air containing dust particles generated at the production site of the factory is filtered by a cyclone dust collector and a filter cartridge dust collector to achieve a purification effect, and the purification efficiency is as high as 99%. The power of the dust removal fan is 75kW, and the corresponding Siemens MM430 frequency converter is selected as its frequency conversion speed regulating device. The filter cartridge dust collector is equipped with an online pressure difference back-blowing system. When working for a certain period of time, the surface of the filter cartridge will absorb dust, causing the pressure difference to increase. At this time, the pressure difference back-blowing and cleaning system will automatically perform according to the preset limit. Clean the dust.

3. Scheme selection

1) Overall selection

According to the actual needs of customers, the system is relatively simple and the cost is considered. So choose Siemens' small PLC and SMART LINE touch screen as the control scheme. The frequency converter selects Siemens fan and water pump type special frequency converter MM430 series, the partial principle diagram of the system is shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.

4) System communication The SMART PLC body has two communication ports, one Ethernet and one serial port. The communication between the PLC and the touch screen adopts Ethernet, and the PLC and the inverter adopt Siemens' special USS communication. In order to ensure the reliability and stability of communication, all communication connectors are dedicated connectors recommended by Siemens.

4. Equipment programming and debugging

1) Program design ideas

Considering that the control process is relatively simple, the program for writing the program is mainly composed of three parts: the air valve detection module, the inverter USS communication module, and the time parameter module.

2) Detect 18-way electric valve

There are a total of 18 air valves working on site, which need to be detected by PLC, and when there are less than 11 air valves working, the system has an alarm output to prompt the user to open more air valves to ensure the stable operation of the dust removal system. Figure 4 is to detect one set of dampers, the other 17 are similar. Figure 5 shows the final statistics of the number of open dampers and alarms.

3) USS communication between inverter and PLC

The frequency converter and SMART PLC adopt Siemens special-purpose USS communication, and the USS library function can be called directly in the programming software, which is simple and easy to use, as shown in Figure 6. In this program, the minimum frequency and maximum frequency are written to the inverter through USS, and the real-time operating frequency is observed through the touch screen. Figure 8 shows the lowest frequency input to the inverter through USS.

5) System man-machine interface

The man-machine interface adopts Siemens SMART LINE series simplified panel. In this project, a 7-inch panel with an Ethernet interface is used to communicate with SMART PLC through this interface. Figure 11 is one of its sub-screens, which monitors the working status of the electric damper of the system.

5. Application experience

As a new generation of Siemens S7-200 SMART in the field of small automation, it can meet the needs of small automation design. There are abundant expansion modules, which can be combined and matched according to system requirements. The programming method is completely transplanted to the S7-200CN series. For domestic customers who use the SMART series PLC, they can easily switch to this platform, and the programming software is more compact and requires low system resources. The programming interface uses the currently popular tiled menu. Keep up with the times. Another highlight of this PLC is that the body integrates an Ethernet interface. It is very easy to configure with the touch screen or to connect with the upper computer, and the communication speed is fast, without the need for a dedicated communication cable. It is hoped that Siemens can introduce more extensive expansion modules to enrich the current product line.
