Automatic Railway Gate Control System Using PLC

Abstract: The aim of this project is to develop a prototype that control the railway gate using PLC (PROGRAMMABLELOGIC CONTROLLER). Whenever train touches base at the IR sensor, caution is activated at the railway crossing so that the general population get instruction thatentryway will be shut. At that point the control module initiates and shuts the gates on either side of the track. Once the train crosses, this module naturally lifts the gate. For mechanical operation of a gate DC adapted engines are utilized. We are using PLC as a main control unit. Asper the instructions produced at the PLC, the proper action (i.e., shut or lift) will be made. This logic was implemented in PLC(Programmable Logic Controller)
