| dc.description.abstract | Industrial and or domestic safety is as much important as the processes carried out in any industry/homes. This is because there is always a tendency for fires to occur due to the existence of fire hazards in industries, domestic and residential settings. Therefore, firefighting system is one of the most important systems in industries and in buildings with multiple occupancy as it protects the facilities, equipment and people against disastrous effects of fire breakouts. Fire detection, alarm and fighting system is a combination of number of devices working together to detect and warn the people through visual and audible appliances when smoke, heat and/or fire are present. It also triggers the suppression system. The alarm used in such system may be activated from flame or smoke detectors and heat detectors. In this project, smoke detectors have been used to detect fire and give an input signal to the programmable logic controller(PLC) which triggers the fire alarm and fire suppression system. Fire alarm system plays the main role in maintaining and monitoring the safety in all kinds of environments and situations. The main objective of this Fire Alarm Control System in Building Automation Using PLC is to make a fire control and suppression system with high reliability and low cost. The system has been designed to cover three zones of protection (three rooms) in which on detection of fire, zone 1 produces audible (buzzer) and visual light emitting diode(LED) alarm, while the LED, direct current (DC) water pump and a buzzer are triggered in zone 2 and a LED, buzzer and Solenoid valve are triggered for zone 3. | en_US |
