Ropeway Conveyor and Unloading System using PLC  
  Authors : Ambily Francis; Muhammad Hassan Anas KT; Ratheesh KP; Vishnu G Nair

 

In this paper the aim is to make a complete ropeway conveyor and unloading system setup for long and non linear transportation of materials using PLC environment. The system is used for the transportation of raw materials from the mines place to the production place. Since it is difficult to transfer it through road, a rope way system is used. The raw materials from the plant is brought through ropeway and given to a vibrator system. From here, through conveyor it goes to the production place. All controls are being taken place in mines.

Areal Ropeway

Ropeway is a modest simple and efficient method for long and nonlinear transportation and it can be simply implemented using PLC environment. PLC environment is 100% efficient comparing with old relay based system.
