Design of Automatic Sluice Gate Using Level Control

摘要

Jayakarta Sluice Gate is located in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. The setting of the sluice gate is done manually with four people. In this paper, a height automatic system is designed to set a certain height by using level sensor, PLC, and a three phase actuator with its transmission gear box. Actuator prototype is made by adjusting the component limit. The result of the prototype is in the form of a sluice gate that uses an automatic system. With a selected concept namely, ultrasonic level sensor, three phase actuator motor, and PLC control system, can control the system automatically and only need one person to take care of the system.
