Week 5 (FYP 2)

Activity:

Connect PLC program to Hardware

Objective:
  • To connect the PLC system to the hardware
  • To enable the project to function as programmed
  • To make sure every part of the project works well

Content:
  • After the PLC coding is uploaded to the PLC device which is model CQ1MH, the PLC will be connected to the hardware.
  • All output and input wires from the hardware are connected to the PLC
  • The inputs such as start and stop push buttons, proximity sensor and magnetic reed sensors are connected to the input panel of PLC
  • A wire from the COM port on the PLC input and output panel is connected to the busbar of the negative 24VDC.
Component PLC Address

Result:
  • The PLC was successfully connected
  • unfortunately, the system cannot run automatically even the coding was upload on the PLC device
  • After read the manual, the PLC model used which is CQ1MH cannot run automatically, it needs to be connected to laptop and set to 'run' mode on the CX-programmer software

Conclusion  
Therefore, every time I running this project, I need to connect the PLC device to the laptop using sysmac way cable that i borrow from laboratory.

Activity: Learn in more detail about the Arduino coding, Arduino IDE and Blynk Objective: To put transfer the coding system into Arduino board (ESP866) To connect the Arduino IDE to Blynk application To control the system using smartphone. Content:  To generate code on Arduino Board, I use Arduino IDE software. First, I need to add some library and board that I needed into software Arduino IDE which is Blynk ESP8266, simpleTimer and Adafruit.   For Blynk program, I fill in the required information such as SSID (Wi-Fi name), pass (Wi-Fi password) and auth token to connect with Blynk application. Result: After I finish the programming part and try to compile it. But it show some error which is the system detect multiple libraries in my laptop. Other than that, the system did not find the simpletimer.h library and it use blynktimer.h which is it not necessary. Conclusion: I need do some research about the solution of the problem before continuing other task. It is because the Ard...

Activity: Recording project demonstration. Objective: To produce a good and clear demonstration video. To produce a project demonstration video that can be understood by the evaluator. Content: Choose a suitable and quiet place to record a demonstration video. Make drafts and plans to record video. Choose the suitable angle for place of camera. Run the project and start recording. Result: The suitable place is chosen which in store room at groundfloor. The demonstration video was recorded with several different angles as there were several important parts running at one time such as the temperature sensor and the IR sensor. I need to add background voice of explanation because during recording, I cant make explanation because the sound of compressor is too loud. Conclusion: As a conclusion, successfully created video demonstration for online presentation which will attract the attention.

Activity: Design a Presentation Slide and Discussion with Supervisor Objective: to make a good presentation slide to prepare for the presentation in the 12th week to seek views and advice from supervisors Content: Make a presentation slide based on the FYP criteria set by the coordinator. The slide contains Introduction, Problem Statement, Literature Review, Methodology and Result. The section to be concerned about is a summary of the Literature Review After completing the slide, I met and discussed with Sir Shaiful to review the slide and give advice on the presentation later Result: After Sir Shaiful reviewed the slide, it gave an overview of the Flowchart section and Estimated costs on the project. Sir Shaiful also gave some advice during the presentation later. Conclusion: After being satisfied with the slide, I can proceed to the next task which is to record the presentation video to be played on the presentation day next week. The presentation will take place online at Micros...
