Abstract

This work is about Programmable Logic Controller upgradation from Messung Nexgen-4000 to Mitsubishi-FX5U in H-series cylinder head LA8290 milling machine bay-1 in shop 5. Milling machine is used in the line for milling inlet manifold of Cylinder head. This machine contains Component fixing fixture, Hydraulic power pack, controlled by limit switch, actuators and sensors. These elements are in-turn controlled by logic programmed in PLC of Mitsubishi make, of model: FX5U. This up gradation is done because of obsolescence of Messung Nexgen-4000 PLC. Mitsubishi PLC of model: FX5U is more populated in the shop for various machines, this PLC is wiser and user friendly than Nexgen-4000, so we have planned to upgrade to model Mitsubishi-FX5U PLC. This PLC is having more advantages than Nexgen- 4000, some of the advantages are it is highly reliable, extremely user and maintenance friendly, modularized PSU, CPU, IO units. It combines high performance to meet complex requirement, versatile communication facility to integrate intelligent device.
