PLC AND SCADA BASED INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Recently, it can be seen that the implementation of PLC is being massively understood and also being used everywhere in digitally moving world. The applications of PLCs are being implemented or applied in every private or public sector industries. Generally, we know that the Programmable logic controllers are being used in the automated industrial process field is to control any mechanized movements of small-scale machine and heavy or large machines for creation of a proficient production along with accurate and precise processing of signals received. Here we will discuss the need of automation in industries for better future prospectus of our nation with the implementation of programmable logic controller (PLC) and data acquisition system. A simulated prototype in software for the usage in every process industry like beverage, food processing industries and even in big pharmaceuticals companies is main purpose here. For getting automation in filling of various compositions of materials into the various types of containers which is to be based upon material type of the container i.e. metallic one or non-metallic ones, or to be based upon different heights. For example, if we are considering the basis of distinguish over material type i.e. metallic container and non-metallic container, we will be having three different material compositions to be filled into the metallic container and two different material compositions into non-metallic containers. After the implementation of above discussed process, both types of containers will go into the capping unit and after that labelling unit separately. The process will be terminated after the counting of both type containers. vi The process as a whole is being divided into two sub processes i.e. monitoring and visualization of the entire process is being carried out in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) software from Wonderware INTOUCH and entire process will be controlled with the use of OMRON 24 I/O NX1P2-9024DT1 PLC and simulation in SYSMAC STUDIO software.
