Modeling, Controlling Of Automatic Washing Machine

Abstract

This project presents a design of automatic washing machine which is controlled using programmable logic controller (PLC). PLC is used to control the system which have specific functions. Basic PLC functioning like timing, sequence, controlling and relaying were implemented. The hardware contains one agitator and shell tub. A motor is used to run the agitator in either direction required as per sequence programming. solenoid valves are used for water inlet and drain out. Operation of these devices is completely automated using PLC
