What is Siemens SIMATIC s7-1200 solar tracker?

Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 is one of the PLC lines which provides solar tracking for the end user. Fig. 2 shows the SIMATIC S7-1200 solar tracker control architecture for dual axis tracking. As it can be seen in the figure the zenith and azimuth drive the motor movement in the dual axis system. Figure 2.

What is a solar tracking system?

This is the true position of the sun as seen from an observer on the surface of the earth. From fig. A solar tracking system refers to a system which is able to track the movement of the sun throughout the day for maximum energy efficiency and have it at a perpendicular angle to the plane of the solar panel.

Can a Solar plc controller be used for sun tracking?

Maybe it would be helpful!! The project implements 2axis sun tracking on a Siemens Simatic S7-1214C TIA industrial PLC platform, wherein the solar PLC controller directs on-axis sun tracking, following the sun throughout the day.

Why should you use Siemens plc for automatic solar tracking?

CPU and the programming tools allow users to design autonomous industrial processes and solve automation problems. Based on this specific application and its user-friendly programming tool and troubleshooting solutions, Siemens’ PLC hardware and software were found to be the right fit for the automatic solar tracking application in this project.

How does a Solar plc Tia work?

The project implements 2axis sun tracking on a industrial Siemens Simatic S7-1214C PLC TIA platform,wherein the Siemens solar PLC controller directs on-axis sun tracking, following the sun throughout the day on its apparent contour as it moves accross the sky.
