INTRODUCTION

• Tower parking, an elevator parking system with vertical

allocation of parking rooms and vertical movements of lifts, is
ideal to maximize parking in narrow plots. In a space required
only for 3 parking spots, it can increase the capacity by up to 20
times.
• The elevator is controlled by a programmable logic controller
(PLC) along with the help of proximity sensor and motor.
• Tower parking system is designed to minimize the area and/or
volume required for parking cars. It is constructed vertically to
maximize the number of parking spaces while minimizing land
usage.

HARDWARE TOOLS

PLC: Programmable Logic Controller

MODEL: SS2
PROGRAM CAPACITY: 8K STEPS
MPU POINTS: 14 (8DI + 6DO)
COM PORTS: Built In RS232 & RS485 Ports,
Compatible With Modbus ASCII & RTU Protocol

DELTA PLC
PROXIMITY SENSOR :

• We have used inductive type proximity

sensor
• It detects metals
• The metal needs to be placed very near
to the sensor around 1mm of distance.
DC MOTOR
• A 12V DC motor is used in our
project
• It is operated using a relay as it
can’t be directly connected to PLC.
• A 12V battery is used to supply
power to this motor.
RELAY:
• This type of relay is called PLC
interface relay
• A 24VDC operated relay.
• Total 5 terminals are present in a relay
• +ve and –ve terminals are used to
supply power to the relay.
• NO, NC, COM are the other three
terminals
 SOFTWARE TOOLS
WPL SOFTWARE:

WPL is a software used for Delta PLC

The ladder logic for program is written in
this software .
KEPWARE SERVER:

• KEPServerEX provides data access for client

applications such as SCADA via OPC.
• KEPServerEX Software is used to create tags
which are used in developing SCADA screen via
OPC
• OPC is the best tool for industrial automation
connectivity.
SIMATIC WINCC

• Simatic WinCC software is used to develop SCADA

screen
• The output of our project is operated and viewed in
SCADA screen.
 LOGIC DIAGRAM

AND Gate – When all the inputs are high the output goes high
 When the car enters through the gate, after some
distance the car is detected using a sensor and the
gate gets closed

OR gate is used here, the inputs are

bubbled to OR gate, this means the
inverse of the input is applied to OR
gate.
This means when all the inputs go high
the output gets low.
 The car is placed in the lift, then the floor is
selected for parking . Then the motor starts
and lift moves up

When lift reaches the selected floor, a timer gets

on, so that the car can be parked at the slot,
after parking the car, the lift comes back to the
ground floor
CONTROL DIAGRAM
 RESULTS

• The picture below is the graphic designer screen in

Simatic WinCC.
• The picture shown below is the scada screen after running the graphic
designer screen of scada.
• When the car is detected at opening gate it will appear in scada screen as shown
below in figure 1.
• When car is allowed to enter inside the opening gate the gate has to be closed
immediately after the entry of the car and the car continues to move to place of
tower parking then the scada screen appears as shown in figure 2.

Figure 1 Figure 2
• When the buttons on “park your car” side are pressed, the car will
be parked on the selected floor whereas when the buttons on “get
parked car” are pressed, the car will be placed back to ground floor
from the floor where it was parked.
 ADVANTAGES

• They save time and money.

• They simplify tedious task of parking
• They are very systematic
• High safety
• Safe and reliable
• Flexible operation
• No caretaker is needed, key pressing operation.
• The lifts will move vehicles into safe and secure storage areas until they
are needed.
 DISADVANTAGES

• Use of redundant systems will result in greater cost

• It may be a bit confusing for unfamiliar users
• It requires a maintenance contract with the supplier.
 APPLICATIONS

• It can be used in shopping complexes and theatres.

• It is very convenient to use in airports and railway stations.
• They can even be constructed in a irregularly shaped areas.
 CONCLUSION
• Automated parking systems are designed to be efficient. By not requiring space for
cars to drive in and out, and no space needed for pedestrians, these systems can park
the same or more cars than a traditional car garage twice as large. It's believed that
these systems will solve the growing demand for parking worldwide.
• The automated systems works very simply, a driver drives into the car park bay and
then exits and leaves their car. The computerized system then activates lifts to take
the car to the nearest open spot. When the driver wishes to recall the vehicle, they
just request it from a computer terminal outside of the car park and within 3 minutes
the car is returned and the driver can drive off.
 FUTURE SCOPE

• It is difficult to find a vacant place in cities in future. So we need a parking system

which consumes very less space in which one of the system is tower parking. In the
place required for one car we can park many cars according to its capacity but it is
always more than one.
• Automation is the new trend. The tower parking system is an automatic car parking
system. The car is parked automatically using an elevator which parks car in vacant lot
which helps in saving users time.
