MOTIVATION After watching a special
inside look on prisons I thought that I could make a PlC controlled based prison system
Since I really enjoyed the PLC glass and never got the time to try my hand at plc networking this was the perfect time.
4
INTRODUCTION While watching the special I saw a
guard who had to walk down the cells on manually open each door with a key so at an instant he was out numbered anywhere between 8 to 16 inmates. With some sort of automated system the guard could distance himself from the inmates.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Network two PLCs and Demostrate the master and slave configuration.
Reduce the voltage to control a 5volt motor.
6
PROPOSED SOLUTION List steps taken to solve the problem
such as: 1. Software (programming)2. Networking (trail and error)3. Assembly , building of the relay and gate to
be controlled4. Overall working conditions (does it all work
together) In each step there were troubleshooting
and testing in each step.
7
Proposed Solution
Small annoyances – the PLC ladder program I was using did from time to time act weird. If you got a no response from processor message you had to reboot the system.

RESULTS A network of two
PLC’s Master and Slave
configuration Implantation of a
network of PLC’s
Master Video
Slave Video

CONCLUSIONS
This system could be used in other workplaces where security is a must.
I learned how to network PLC’s How to use the master/slave
configuration Use and wire relays
10
FUTURE WORK Security cameras Forward and
reverse direction of the motor used to open and close the gate
More PLC’s networked together.
