With the fast development of the hi-tech industry, many expensive facilities
require a real-time monitoring and maintaining system to guarantee the
production line achieving the best condition. The Forgine machine is one of the
most important machines for steal production, where its Lubrication flowing
amount plays the most critical role. Once the Lubrication flowing is unstable or
unusual, the Forgine machine will break down and result in a serious system
malfunction. Accordingly, it may need high cost to resolve the problem.
The objective of this research is to develop a real-time Lubrication flowing
supervisory system. The proposed system can provide the engineer a crucial
information regarding the Lubrication flowing status. According to the
information, an early warning signal will be sent to the engineer whenever the
Lubrication flowing amount is found insufficient or unstable. The proposed
system includes the hardware and software. The hardware module just adds a
PLC controller as the core controlling unit that collects the Lubrication flowing
signal. However, the original hardware system does not change. Besides, we
apply LabVIEW package to design the human-interface, especially for the
Lubrication flowing monitoring. The information collected by PLC can be
provided to the engineer to fix the problem of machine breakdown. Moreover, it
can be stored in the PC database for malfunction analysis. Consequently, the
potential fault in the Forgine machine can be thus avoided.
