PLC which type is CP1E-X20DR-A of Omron Corporation is adopted as controller and program flow chart is designed, the control of temperature, humidity and drying speed is realized according to Honeysuckle drying process requirements. Practice has proved that: the control system designed can control Honeysuckle drying process completely. Keywords: Control system, honeysuckle, microwave drying, PLC INTRODUCTION MATERIALS Honeysuckle is a traditional Chinese medicine; Parts of microwave drying apparatus: Microwave drying apparatus mainly contains microwave generator, modern medical research shows that the Honeysuckle waveguide, drying box, cooling system, humidity medical value is very high: antipyretic, anti- discharging system, transmission system (Zhao et al., inflammatory, antiviral and improving immunity (Chen 2014), humidity measuring system, infrared measuring and TI - PLC Control System of Microwave Drying Apparatus on Honeysuckle JF - Advance Journal of Food Science and Technology DO - 10.19026/ajfst.9.1950 DA - 2015-08-05 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/plc-control-system-of-microwave-drying-apparatus-on-honeysuckle-4ki3KayPYe DP - DeepDyve ER -
