Programmable Logic Controllers Application in Speed Control of Single-Phase Induction Motor

Abstract

The current study investigates speed control of a single-phase induction motor using the P.L.C (Programmable Logic Controller). There are several methods to control the speed of a single-phase induction motor. However, this method is one of the most recent methods with its rapid response control, flexibility, adjustment making, etc. Most engines in modern industrial facilities and laboratories are equipped with this technology. Here we have designed an electrical circuit that controls the voltage supplied to the motor and is controlled by a PLC unit to control the motor speed and thus we will benefit from all the possibilities, privileges and special benefits provided by the PLC unit to control the motor speed.
