INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION BY DCS

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.
