ABSTRACT

Saverius Petege, An Application of the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for the Housing Security System (supervised by Nadjamuddin Harunand Rhiza S. Sadjad)

	This is a design project to develop a prototype of an integrated  housing security system using the programmable logic controller (PLC) application.
	The study is made based on the case of “Perumahan <apa namanya>”, a fortified housing-compound (gated-community) of <berapa> town-houses in the city of Makassar, South Sulawesi, INDONESIA. The security system covers the early detection of both theft (burglary) and fire.
	The prototype of the system consists of the <apa type PLC yang dipakai> type of PLC, a monitoring and control software package installed in a computer at the gate security station and <berapa banyak> sensors (including the smoke detector, <sensor apa>, and <sensor apa saja>) at each town-house. The test shows that the system responds in only 300 ms, and the data acquisition is 100% accurate.
