Abstract

The present paper intends to highlight the utility and importance of programmable automates in the control of the industrial processes. The paper presents the programming of a Siemens CPU 313C PLC in Ladder Diagram language and the making of a graphical interface for an interactive simulation with the help of a touch screen HMI of a concrete plant. The application allows the control and the simulation of the production processes for some mixtures recipes, the manual control of the plant´s components and the simulation of the monitoring of quantities in the silos with the help of some level sensors placed inside them.
