Plc Automation Using Vhdl Programming

CNC Machines in heavy power plants have an important part to play. CNC stands for "Computer Numerical Control." A CNC machine directs a cutting tool, which may range from a small scalpel to a woodcutting blade or router, based on directions that the operator has entered into a computer that controls the movement of the head holding the cutter. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a microcontroller‐based, general‐ purpose electronic device to control the operation of a machine or process. Contrary to conventional microcontroller based systems, PLCs are not programmed by the device manufacturer but by the machine builder or the end user. Study of CNC Machines, PLC Programming and its practical implementation using VHDL Language has been designed, simulated and discussed in this report. Study of CNC Machines, PLC Programming and its practical implementation using VHDL Language has been designed, simulated and discussed in this research report. Challenges & design aspects are defined and discussed also, application areas and future of VHDL Based PLC Programming have been proposed and studied under this research and a detailed report has been prepared to summarize the study and research conducted on the above mentioned topic.
