Abstract:
Implementing Distributed Control System was less demanding in olden
days, due to the fact that the science did not evolve that much. Nowadays
Programmable logic Controllers are used everywhere, there are no
boundaries to it, i.e. industry which includes assembly lines, processes,
control system etc. All the mentioned are less than 5-10% of its applications,
available as a whole.
Using a single Programmable Logic Controller for some small area
applications in not harder to implement, but connecting several PLCs
together or connecting on network, is quite challenging. This DCS revolves
around communication between two PLCs, communication with each other,
each PLC possesses different configurations, depending upon the program
we are willing to implement.
The process being displaying on Human Machine interface is programmed
in INFO U software. The tags and graphics are defined in INFO U, resulting
in status and controls being available on the HMI software.
