| dc.description.abstract | In a power plant unit whose main fuel is coal, there is generally use a belt
conveyor installation. This belt conveyor serves to supply coal from the crusher
unit to the combustion chamber of the power generation unit. In this study, we
discuss a case where the installation of a belt conveyor which was initially only
one line was then made a new branch that supplies coal to other power
generating units. Equitable capacity distribution and continuity of coal
distribution are the main focus of this study. Therefore, a design of automatic
control system of coal flow divider on belt conveyor installation was designed.
The working principle of this coal flow splitting system is to control the
movement of the straight blade plough that directs the flow of coal to each unit
at the certain time and continuously. Straight blade plough in the form of steel
metal plate with a thickness of about 10 millimeter in which one end is
connected to the end of the pneumatic cylinder. Automatic control system of
coal flow divider in belt conveyor installation designed using CX-Programmer
and CX-Designer applications. CX-Programmer serves to create automatic
control logic concepts. While the CX-designer functions to create a Human
Machine Interface (HMI), making it easier for operators to control the course of
the coal supply process. The results of this study are in the form of control logic
lines that can be applied to Programmable Logic Control (PLC) device and
Human Machine Interface (HMI) equipment. | en_US |
