Modernization of Vulcanization Press Control

This thesis deals with the design of the controller system for modernisation of operating the vulcanising press with the usage of the control through the PLC designed by Teco a.s. First part of the thesis describes requirements and functions of a vulcanising press. It contains a background research of needed components from three different producers of the PLCs. Next step is a design of the operating system. It contains the PLC programme and design of the regulators of the press forms temperature. The last part is concerned with wiring of all the components, their activation and checkingout eventual failures of the designed programme
