Abstract


Fire-fighting methods are pivotal in safeguarding property, human lives, and industrial equipment within commercial enterprises. This technical report explores the automation of fire-fighting systems for industrial settings by leveraging Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) technology. The study is motivated by the aspiration to design a highly reliable system employing Siemens S7-1200 PLC technology, complemented by monitoring software, TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal Version 16, for PLC program development, and PLCSIM for simulation. The proposed system integrates three flame sensors as inputs to actively sense and collect real-time data from the field. The PLC functions as the central controller for fire management, with three distinct outputs: an alarm, a siren for auditory alerts, and an automated water spray system designed to promptly extinguish fires. This comprehensive solution serves as a critical protective measure within industrial plants. The successful implementation of this automated system streamlines the operation sequence, minimizing the need for human intervention. Consequently, it enhances the accuracy and speed of the fire-fighting process, further fortifying the safety and security of industrial facilities.
