PLC-based Dry Magnetic Separator Control System Design and Application
Dry magnetic separator is widely used in mineral processing industry,but the control of traditional dry magnetic separator still needs a lot of manual intervention.The paper firstly introduces the structure of dry magnetic separator and the principle of magnetic separation.Secondly,it carries out the hardware and software design of the control system of dry magnetic separator based on S7-1500 PLC,which includes the overall structure design of PLC control system,hardware configuration and so on.Finally,the paper carried out a comparison experiment between in-telligent dry magnetic separator and ordinary dry magnetic separator.The results show that the processing capacity of the intelligent dry magnetic separator can reach 180t/h,and the whole iron grade is 50%~65%,which is 20%higher than the processing capacity and TFe(%)of the ordinary magnetic separator.Therefore,the comprehensive performance of the dry magnetic separator and the economic benefits of the enterprise have been effectively improved.
