    Industrial automation involves controlling machinery and processes through technologies like robotics and software. Automation adds control loops to machine operations, which can be open for human input or closed loops that are fully automated. Industrial control systems allow for local and remote monitoring and control. Programmable logic controllers are essentially ruggedized computers that control automation processes based on a stored program and communicate with sensors and actuators through input/output interfaces. Modern automation structures involve hierarchical levels from the field devices to control and supervisor levels.

    Reference Guide Industrial Automation

    Industrial automation is the control of machinery and processes used in various industries by autonomous
    systems through the use of technologies like robotics and computer software. Automation adds control loops to
    machine operation. These can be open control loops that allow for human input or closed loops which are fully
    automated. Industrial control systems (ICS) allow for monitoring and control locally and remotely.

    Evolution of Automation

    the logic required to drive the output. industrial computers.

    Modern Automation Structure PLCs vary in complexity

    Microcontroller: Essentially, a PLC is an MCU with some


    special features, e.g. fieldbus communication.

    SBC: Single-board computers using semi-customized


    or fully proprietary hardware for very demanding
    control applications. Soft PLCs can interface with
    industrial I/O hardware while executing programs
    within commercial operating systems.

    PLR: Programmable Logic Relays have 8 to 12 discrete


    inputs, 4 to 8 discrete outputs, and up to 2 analog
    inputs. Many include a tiny LC screen for viewing
    simplified ladder logic.

    Supervisor Level: The supervisor level usually consists


    of an Industrial PC, which is usually available as a desktop
    PC or a Panel PC or a Rack-mounted PC. Communication
    usually runs over some form of Ethernet.
    Generally, a PLC consists of;

    • A CPU which interprets inputs, executes the control program stored in memory and
    Control Level: All the automation related programs are sends output signals,
    executed. For this purpose, PLCs are used, providing real- • A power supply unit which converts AC voltage to DC,
    time computing capability. PLCs are usually implemented • A memory unit storing data from inputs and program to be executed by the processor,
    using 16-bit or 32-bit microcontrollers and run on a • An I/O interface, where the controller receives and sends data from/to external
    proprietary operating system to meet the real-time devices,
    requirements. PLCs are also capable of being interfaced • A communications interface to receive and transmit data on communication networks
    with several I/O devices and can communicate through from/to remote PLCs.
    various communication protocols like CAN.
    PLCs require programming device which is used to
    develop and later download the created program into
    the memory of the controller.
    Field Level: The terminal equipment like Sensors and
    Actuators are categorized into Field Level in the hierarchy.
    They can be programmed in a variety of ways,
    The sensors like temperature, optical, pressure etc. and
    from the relay-derived ladder logic to programming
    actuators like motors, valves, switches etc. are interfaced
    languages such as specially adapted dialects of
    to a PLC through a field bus and the communication
    between a Field Level device and its corresponding PLC is BASIC and C, adhering to IEC 61131-3.
    usually based on a point-to-point connection. Both wired
    and wireless networks are used for communication.
