Utilização de um controlador lógico programável em um sistema de bombeamento de água

Abstract

In the modern world, industrial processes need tools that make them increasingly efficient and competitive. With the evolution of science in the areas of electronics and informatics, the use of wired logic to control systems has become obsolete. Computers known as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have become very important due to their various advantages and currently have a strong presence in the electrical engineer's professional field. Thus, the objective of this work is to carry out a bibliographic study about these devices to complement the knowledge obtained during the undergraduate course. In this context, aim to develop, through computer simulation, the programming of a PLC in Ladder language, so that it can read information from sensors and trigger actuators in order to meet the needs of a water pumping system
