Automation systems, often referred to as SCADA systems, involve programming at several levels; these systems include computer type field controllers that monitor and control plant equipment such as conveyor systems, pumps, and user workstations that allow the user to monitor and control the equipment through color graphic displays. All of the components of these systems are integrated through a network, such as Ethernet for fast communications. This book provides a practical guide to developing the application software for all aspects of the automation system, from the field controllers to the user interface workstations. The focus of the book is to not only provide practical methods for designing and developing the software, but also to develop a complete set of software documentation. Providing tested examples and proceducres, this book will be indespensible to all engineers managing automation systems. Clear instructions with real-world examples Guidance on how to design and develop well-structured application programs Identification of software documentation requirements and organization of point names with logical naming system Guidance on best practice of standardized programming methods for SCADA systems

I love to create visualization systems. Every time we meet with a client and present the technique suggested by my team I feel great. Automation and 6 strict superior functions have been involved in nearly ten years. Many times I meet people who do not quite understand what process automation, SCADA, HMI, etc. is a few weeks ago. I decided to gather basic information - I hope that I hate theory in an accessible form - and write this short book. Technical but understandable to people who are unrelated to the subject. Before you start searching for answers on the Internet in various forums, use the search engine, and use the following. I have collected some basic information for you.Many times I have encountered a situation where the client does not fully understand what SCADA is. He imagined it as a collection screen that controls local work. It was difficult to prove that the system offered needed strong computers, servers, or very expensive licenses for several addresses. Collecting data and relying on my experience wanted to show concisely what SCADA is but what it is not. What functions does it have, available, or how to recognize an advanced system.This book is an introduction to the SCADA world. I will guide you with all the necessary subjects everyone needs to know before starting with the SCADA journey. We will try to find the best concept on the question of what's SCADA and how it's set up. After all we will think about how to choose good SCADA? After all we are going to check the top 3 SCADA distributors and we check the world market.

The book contains various applications of programmable logic controllers and SCADA designing of a plant. Everyone knows, nowadays all human handled plants are being replaced by the automatic control system, thus called Automation. PLCs are accepted worldwide for easier access and better precision. In this book Rockwell PLCs are described and so is the SCADA design, which is also done by the RSView32 software, manufactured by Rockwell. It is one of the biggest names in the PLC software industry, being easy to use, control and modify. Some electrical drives, such as D.C drives and A.C drives, are also described in detail because the control part is done by the PLCs but the main plant is based on these electrical drives.
