PLC & SCADA FOR PROCESS AUTOMATION AND DATA AQUISITION

Electrical engineering

Automation generally refers to the science and technology of process control and includes the control of chemical and petrochemical plants, Oil refineries, iron and steel plant, Power plants, cement mills, Paper pulp and paper mills water and waste water treatment plants and many like all this. The basic objective of automation is identifying the information flow and manipulates the material and energy flow as given process in a desired way. PLC & SCADA plays an important role in atomizing industrial system. They work individually or together to satisfy the purpose. The acquisition of data, the processing of those data for use by the operator ,and the operator control of remote devices are the fundamental building blocks upon which all modern utility control systems are based. The systems to accomplish these functions are known as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
