A Literature Review on Automation of Instrument Air Distribution System using Arduino and Integrate Industry 4.0

Abstract

This article is primarily concerned with developing a totally upgraded IA distribution controlling system, which includes the Arduino program and Industry 4.0 is further extended by employing IOT and wireless sensor interfaces, simulating the Arduino IAD plant and putting it online for remote access. Air conditioners have become an integral component of everyday life, particularly in tropical regions such as India. One of the most significant control variables in an infrastructure is considered to be an air conditioner. This project is all about controlling an air conditioner with voice commands. Here, voice commands are recognized and utilised to activate/deactivate an air conditioner using the Michel C. JARVIS application. Using voice sensors in ARDUINO, the air conditioner will be able to understand spoken instructions and regulate the compressor.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

In general, any plant comprises a high number pneumatic power supply is necessary for pneumatic components to operate. A different system known as the Instrument air distribution system produces and distributes these pneumatic supplies. Air is required by the pneumatic control valves, which is provided by instrument air. An Instrument Air Distribution system in a thermal power plant is made up of three Instrument Air Compressors (IAC) that are activated based on the demand for instrument air. The compressor is currently controlled using relay logic. Relays are electromechanical devices that use an electrical signal to flip a mechanical switch. Complex wiring is required in order to apply control logic in relays. This makes it harder to implement future adjustments. Maintenance is time-consuming and difficult; incorrect wiring might result in incorrect results and even accidents. It is also tough to recognize and troubleshoot.
