PLC SYSTEM PROGRAMMING AND COMMISSIONING
- PLC Programming refers to the process of designing and writing the control logic that governs how a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) interacts with machinery and processes. It involves:
- Analyzing Control Requirements: Understanding the process or machine to be automated
- Selecting Programming Language: Common languages include Ladder Logic, Function Block Diagram (FBD), Structured Text (ST), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC).
- Developing Logic: Creating sequences, interlocks, timers, counters, and safety routines.
- Configuring I/O: Mapping physical inputs and outputs to software tags.
- Testing and Simulation: Verifying logic through software simulation before deployment.
- Documentation: Recording program structure, logic flow, and configuration details.
INDUSTRIAL NETWORKING AND PROTOCOL INTERFACES FOR DATA INTERFACE
- Protocol Interfaces define the rules and formats for data exchange between devices in industrial systems. They ensure interoperability and seamless communication across different hardware and software platforms.
Common Protocols
- odbus: Simple and widely used for serial and TCP/IP communication.
- OPC UA (Unified Architecture): Platform-independent, secure, and scalable protocol for industrial automation.
- IEC 60870-5-101 (IEC 101): Designed for communication between control centers and substations in electrical utilities
- IEC 60870-5-104 (IEC 104): Extension of IEC 101 for communication over TCP/IP networks.
- IEC 61850: Designed for substation automation and communication in electrical power systems. Ethernet-based, using MMS.
- DNP3: Common in power and utility systems for reliable data transmission
Functions of Protocol Interfaces
- Data Acquisition: Collecting data from sensors and field devices.
- Control Commands: Sending instructions to actuators and controllers
- Monitoring & Diagnostics: Real-time status updates and fault detection
- Integration: Connecting with SCADA, MES, ERP, and cloud platforms.
