7 Terms Every Industrial Automation Engineer Must Know (part 2) by showlight123: 10:58pm On Oct 02, 2020 |
In my previous post, I stated the 7 terms (i.e. Field devices, PLC, VFD, HMI, SCADA, DCS and Fieldbus) and shed light on field devices (sensors and actustors). I will briefly discuss on PLC in this post to fulfil my promise. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) can be described as an industrial computer designed to automate industrial processes. PLCs are the brain behind almost all modern industrial automation. The 3 basic parts of a PLC include: 1. Input module 2. CPU module 3. Output module Sensors connects to the input module of the PLC, actuators connects to the output module of the PLC while the CPU makes decisions (based on the program written into it) and turn on or off the actuators (motor, valves etc.) connected to the output module. The basic skills you need to acquire as regard PLC is the wiring of sensors and actuators (field devices) to the PLC, programming the PLC and troubleshooting a PLC based control system. Watch out for part 3 of this post where I will be discussing briefly on VFD. New batch of our hands-on/practical training on PLC for industrial automation will commence on Saturday (10th of October 2020).
