Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

Tank Used to Mix Two Liquids
A tank is used to mix two liquids. The control circuit operates
as follows:
1. When the start button is pressed, solenoids A and B
energize. This permits the two liquids to begin filling the tank.
2. When the tank is filled, the float switch trips. This de-
energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to
mix the liquids together.
3. The motor is permitted to run for one minute. After one
minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C
energizes to drain the tank.
18. Basic PLC
4. When the tank is empty, the float switch de-energizes
solenoid C.
5. A stop button can be used to stop the process at any
point.
6. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire
circuit will stop.
7. Once the circuit has been energized it will continue to
operate until it is manually stopped.

I/O Circuits
DIFFERENT TYPES OF I/O CIRCUITS
1. Pilot Duty Outputs
Outputs of this type typically are used to drive high-current
electromagnetic loads such as solenoids, relays, valves, and
motor starters.
These loads are highly inductive and exhibit a large inrush
current.
Pilot duty outputs should be capable of withstanding an
inrush current of 10 times the rated load for a short period of
time without failure.
33. Basic PLC
33
I/O Circuits
2. General - Purpose Outputs
These are usually low- voltage and low-current and are used
to drive indicating lights and other non-inductive loads. Noise
suppression may or may not be included on this types of
modules.
3. Discrete Inputs
Circuits of this type are used to sense the status of limit
switches, push buttons, and other discrete sensors. Noise
suppression is of great importance in preventing false
indication of inputs turning on or off because of noise.
34. Basic PLC
34
I/O Circuits
4. Analog I/O
Circuits of this type sense or drive analog signals.
Analog inputs come from devices, such as thermocouples,
strain gages, or pressure sensors, that provide a signal
voltage or current that is derived from the process variable.
Standard Analog Input signals: 4-20mA; 0-10V
Analog outputs can be used to drive devices such as
voltmeters, X-Y recorders, servomotor drives, and valves
through the use of transducers.
Standard Analog Output signals: 4-20mA; 0-5V; 0-10V
35. Basic PLC

I/O Circuits
5. Special - Purpose I/O
Circuits of this type are used to interface PLCs to very specific
types of circuits such as servomotors, stepping motors PID
(proportional plus integral plus derivative) loops, high-speed
pulse counting, resolver and decoder inputs, multiplexed
displays, and keyboards.
This module allows for limited access to timer and counter
presets and other PLC variables without requiring a program
loader.

Processor
The processor module contains the PLC’s microprocessor,
its supporting circuitry, and its memory system.
The main function of the microprocessor is to analyze data
coming from field sensors through input modules, make
decisions based on the user’s defined control program and
return signal back through output modules to the field
devices. Field sensors: switches, flow, level, pressure, temp.
transmitters, etc. Field output devices: motors, valves,
solenoids, lamps, or audible devices.
The memory system in the processor module has two parts:
a system memory and an application memory.
45. Basic PLC
45
Memory Map Organization
SYSTEM
•System memory includes an area called the EXECUTIVE,
composed of permanently-stored programs that direct all system
activities, such as execution of the users control program,
communication with peripheral devices, and other system
activities.
•The system memory also contains the routines that implement
the PLC’s instruction set, which is composed of specific control
functions such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting, and
arithmetic.
•System memory is generally built from read-only memory
devices.
APPLICATION
•The application memory is divided into the data table area and
user program area.
•The data table stores any data associated with the user’s control
program, such as system input and output status data, and any
stored constants, variables, or preset values. The data table is
where data is monitored, manipulated, and changed for control
purposes.
•The user program area is where the programmed instructions
entered by the user are stored as an application control program.
•Data Table
•User Program
46. Basic PLC

Memory Designs
VOLATILE.
A volatile memory is one that loses its stored information
when power is removed.
Even momentary losses of power will erase any information
stored or programmed on a volatile memory chip.
Common Type of Volatile Memory
RAM. Random Access Memory(Read/Write)
Read/write indicates that the information stored in the
memory can be retrieved or read, while write indicates that
the user can program or write information into the memory.
47. Basic PLC
47
Memory Designs
The words random access refer to the ability of any
location (address) in the memory to be accessed or used.
Ram memory is used for both the user memory (ladder
diagrams) and storage memory in many PLC’s.
RAM memory must have battery backup to retain or protect
the stored program.
48. Basic PLC
48
Memory Designs
Several Types of RAM Memory:
1.MOS
2.HMOS
3.CMOS
The CMOS-RAM (Complimentary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) is probably one of the most popular. CMOS-
RAM is popular because it has a very low current drain when
not being accessed (15microamps.), and the information
stored in memory can be retained by as little as 2Vdc.
49. Basic PLC
49
Memory Designs
NON-VOLATILE
Has the ability to retain stored information when power is
removed, accidentally or intentionally. These memories do not
require battery back-up.
Common Type of Non-Volatile Memory
ROM, Read Only Memory
Read only indicates that the information stored in memory
can be read only and cannot be changed. Information in ROM
is placed there by the manufacturer for the internal use and
operation of the PLC.
50. Basic PLC
50
Memory Designs
Other Types of Non-Volatile Memory
PROM, Programmable Read Only Memory
Allows initial and/or additional information to be written into
the chip.
PROM may be written into only once after being received
from the PLC manufacturer; programming is accomplish by
pulses of current.
The current melts the fusible links in the device, preventing it
from being reprogrammed. This type of memory is used to
prevent unauthorized program changes.
51. Basic PLC
51
Memory Designs
EPROM, Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
Ideally suited when program storage is to be semi-
permanent or additional security is needed to prevent
unauthorized program changes.
The EPROM chip has a quartz window over a silicon
material that contains the electronic integrated circuits. This
window normally is covered by an opaque material, but
when the opaque material is removed and the circuitry
exposed to ultra violet light, the memory content can be
erased.
The EPROM chip is also referred to as UVPROM.
52. Basic PLC
52
Memory Designs
EEPROM, Electrically Erasable Programmable Read
Only Memory
Also referred to as E2
PROM, is a chip that can be
programmed using a standard programming device and can
be erased by the proper signal being applied to the erase pin.
EEPROM is used primarily as a non-volatile backup for the
normal RAM memory. If the program in RAM is lost or erased,
a copy of the program stored on an EEPROM chip can be
down loaded into the RAM.
53. Basic PLC
53
PLC Operation
Basic Function of a Typical PLC
Read all field input devices via the input interfaces, execute
the user program stored in application memory, then, based
on whatever control scheme has been programmed by the
user, turn the field output devices on or off, or perform
whatever control is necessary for the process application.
This process of sequentially reading the inputs, executing
the program in memory, and updating the outputs is known
as scanning.
54. Basic PLC
54
While the PLC is running, the scanning process includes the
following four phases, which are repeated continuously as
individual cycles of operation:
PHASE 2
Program
Execution
PHASE 3
Diagnostics/
Comm
PHASE 4
Output
Scan
PHASE 1
Read Inputs
Scan
55. Basic PLC
55
PHASE 1 – Input Status scan
• A PLC scan cycle begins with the CPU reading the status
of its inputs.
PHASE 2– Logic Solve/Program Execution
• The application program is executed using the status of
the inputs
PHASE 3– Logic Solve/Program Execution
• Once the program is executed, the CPU performs
diagnostics and communication tasks
56. Basic PLC
56
PHASE 4 - Output Status Scan
•An output status scan is then performed, whereby the
stored output values are sent to actuators and other field
output devices. The cycle ends by updating the outputs.
57. Basic PLC
57
As soon as Phase 4 are completed, the entire cycle begins
again with Phase 1 input scan.
The time it takes to implement a scan cycle is called SCAN
TIME. The scan time composed of the program scan time,
which is the time required for solving the control program, and
the I/O update time, or time required to read inputs and
update outputs. The program scan time generally depends on
the amount of memory taken by the control program and type
of instructions used in the program. The time to make a single
scan can vary from 1 ms to 100 ms.

PLC Communications
Common Uses of PLC Communications Ports
Changing resident PLC programs - uploading/downloading
from a supervisory controller (Laptop or desktop computer).
Forcing I/O points and memory elements from a remote
terminal.
Linking a PLC into a control hierarchy containing several
sizes of PLC and computer.
Monitoring data and alarms, etc. via printers or Operator
Interface Units (OIUs).

PLC Communications
Serial Communications
PLC communications facilities normally provides serial
transmission of information.
Common Standards
RS 232
Used in short-distance computer communications, with the
majority of computer hardware and peripherals.
Has a maximum effective distance of approx. 30 m at 9600
baud.
60. Basic PLC
60
PLC Communications
Local Area Network (LAN)
Local Area Network provides a physical link between all
devices plus providing overall data exchange management or
protocol, ensuring that each device can “talk” to other
machines and understand data received from them.
LANs provide the common, high-speed data communications
bus which interconnects any or all devices within the local
area.
LANs are commonly used in business applications to allow
several users to share costly software packages and
peripheral equipment such as printers and hard disk storage.
61. Basic PLC
61
PLC Communications
RS 422 / RS 485

Specifications
Several factors are used for evaluating the quality and
performance of programmable controllers when selecting a
unit for a particular application. These are listed below.
NUMBER OF I /O PORTS
This specifies the number of I/O devices that can be
connected to the controller. There should be sufficient I/O
ports to meet present requirements with enough spares to
provide for moderate future expansion.
64. Basic PLC
Selecting a PLC
Criteria
• Number of logical inputs and outputs.
• Memory
• Number of special I/O modules
• Scan Time
• Communications
• Software
65. Basic PLC
A Detailed Design Process
1. Understand the process
2. Hardware/software selection
3. Develop ladder logic
4. Determine scan times and memory requirements
66. Basic PLC
66
Specifications
OUTPUT-PORT POWER RATINGS
Each output port should be capable of supplying sufficient
voltage and current to drive the output peripheral connected
to it.
SCAN TIME
This is the speed at which the controller executes the relay-
ladder logic program. This variable is usually specified as the
scan time per 1000 logic nodes and typically ranges from 1 to
200 milliseconds.
67. Basic PLC
67
Specifications
MEMORY CAPACITY
The amount of memory required for a particular application is
related to the length of the program and the complexity of the
control system. Simple applications having just a few relays
do not require significant amount of memory. Program length
tend to expand after the system have been used for a while. It
is advantageous to a acquire a controller that has more
memory than is presently needed.
69. Basic PLC
Troubleshooting
1. Look at the process
2. PLC status lights
HALT - something has stopped the CPU
RUN - the PLC thinks it is OK (and probably is)
ERROR - a physical problem has occurred with the PLC
3. Indicator lights on I/O cards and sensors
4. Consult the manuals, or use software if available.
5. Use programming terminal / laptop.
70. Basic PLC
List of items required when working with PLCs:
1. Programming Terminal - laptop or desktop PC.
2. PLC Software. PLC manufacturers have
their own specific software and license key.
3. Communication cable for connection from Laptop
to PLC.
4. Backup copy of the ladder program (on diskette, CDROM,
hard disk, flash memory). If none, upload it from the PLC.
5. Documentation- (PLC manual, Software manual, drawings,
ladder program printout, and Seq. of Operations manual.)
72. Basic PLC

PROGRAMMING
Normally Open
(NO)
Normally Closed
(NC)
Power flows through these contacts when they are closed. The
normally open (NO) is true when the input or output status bit
controlling the contact is 1. The normally closed (NC) is true
when the input or output status bit controlling the contact is 0.
73. Basic PLC
73
Coils
Coils represent relays that are energized when power flows to
them. When a coil is energized it causes a corresponding
output to turn on by changing the state of the status bit controlling
the output to 1. That same output status bit maybe used to control
normally open or normally closed contact anywhere in the program.
74. Basic PLC

Boxes
Boxes represent various instructions or functions that are
Executed when power flows to the box. Some of these
Functions are timers, counters and math operations.
