University PLC Automation with TIA
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have to hand in a fully-working PLC automation project built in Siemens TIA Portal V16 and demonstrated in Factory I/O. The academic brief is open-ended, so you are free to choose any realistic industrial scenario—manufacturing, logistics, energy, or another process—provided the system is clearly automated by the PLC and can be shown running in Factory I/O.
What I need from you is a complete, self-contained package that I can open, run, and explain:
• TIA Portal V16 project file with well-commented ladder/FBD/structured-text code
• Matching Factory I/O scene that connects to the PLC program (OPC or S7 interface)
• Tag list and clear step-by-step instructions on how to start the simulation
• Short technical report (2-3 pages) describing the process, control logic, and how sensors/actuators are mapped
The project must compile without errors and demonstrate automatic start-stop, fault reset, and at least one safety interlock. All variables and rungs should be named meaningfully so I can discuss them during my presentation.
Feel free to incorporate virtual sensors and actuators as needed, but keep the hardware list realistic. Once delivered, I’ll review the files in TIA and run the scene live; if everything operates as described and meets the above criteria, the work is considered complete.
