Some processes have been completely automated. The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labor; however, it is also used to save energy and materials and to improve quality, accuracy and precision. The term automation, inspired by the earlier word automatic (coming from automaton), was not widely used before 1947, when General Motors established the automation department. It was during this time that industry was rapidly adopting feedback controllers, which were introduced in the 1930s. Automation has been achieved by various means including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, and electronic and computers, usually in combination. Complicated systems, such as modern factories, airplanes and ships typically use all these combined techniques. Fig (1).

Encoders 2.2 PLC’s A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, light fixtures. PLCs are used in many industries and machines. Unlike general-purpose computers, the PLC is designed for multiple inputs and output arrangements, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact. Programs to control machine operation are typically stored in battery-backed-up or non-volatile memory. A PLC is an example of a hard real-time system since output results must be produced in response to input conditions within a limited time, otherwise unintended operation will result. Fig (9). PLC’s 14 2.3 HMI Human-machine interface is the part of the machine that handles the Human-machine interaction. Membrane Switches, Rubber Keypads and Touch screens are examples of that part of the Human Machine Interface which we can see and touch. Fig (10). HMI’s 2.4 SCADA SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is a type of industrial control system (ICS). Industrial control systems are computer-controlled systems that monitor and control industrial processes that exist in the physical world. SCADA systems historically distinguish themselves from other ICS systems by being large-scale processes that can include multiple sites, and large distances. These processes include industrial, infrastructure, and facility-based processes, as described below: Industrial processes include those of manufacturing, production, power generation, fabrication, and refining, and may run in continuous, batch, repetitive, or discrete modes. Infrastructure processes may be public or private, and include water treatment and distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, oil and gas pipelines, electrical power transmission and distribution, wind farms, civil defense siren systems, and large communication systems. Facility processes occur both in public facilities and private ones, including buildings, airports, ships, and space stations. They monitor and control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC), access, and energy consumption. 15 Fig (11). SCADA System 2.5 Panel Designing Programmable logic controller (PLC) control panels or also known as PLC Automation Panel are one of the most important and efficient kinds of control panels. Which are generally used in variety of electronic and electrical circuit fitting. PLC Control Panels we manufacture are highly capable of giving higher output at less power consumption.

Membrane Switches, Rubber Keypads and Touchscreens are examples of that part of the Human Machine Interface which we can see and touch. In complex systems, the human-machine interface is typically computerized. Fig (31). HMI’s The user interface, in the industrial design field of human–machine interaction, is the space where interaction between humans and machines occurs. The goal of this interaction is 33 effective operation and control of the machine on the user's end, and feedback from the machine, which aids the operator in making operational decisions. Examples of this broad concept of user interfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operating systems, hand tools, heavy machinery operator controls, and process controls. The design considerations applicable when creating user interfaces are related to or involve such disciplines as ergonomics and psychology. A user interface is the system by which people (users) interact with a machine. The user interface includes hardware (physical) and software (logical) components. User interfaces exist for various systems, and provide a means of: Input, allowing the users to manipulate a system Output, allowing the system to indicate the effects of the user manipulation. Types of HMI’s: 1. Touch Screen 2. Screen with buttons XBTSTU655 Fig (32). HMI’s Magelis STU terminals adapt to your needs by integrating the latest technology innovations to enhance the productivity of your machines: unique software configuration Power supply 24 VDC Serial ports RJ45 RS485/232 multiprotocol Mini-USB port, Memory Stick, USB keyboard Magelis STU 34 High definition colour screen TFT QVGA 3.5’’ and 5.7” Tool free mounting, using the Schneider Electric Ethernet port RJ45 10/100 Base Applications of HMI: Human–computer interaction (HCI) involves the study, planning, design and uses of the interaction between people (users) and computers. It is often regarded as the intersection of computer science & behavioural sciences, design and several other fields of study.

Vijeo Designer 37 3.11 SCADA • SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. • SCADA refers to a system that collects data from various sensors at a factory, plant or in other remote locations and then sends this data to a central computer which then manages and controls the data. • SCADA acts like an HMI i.e. Human Machine Interface through which operator can modify the settings of the controllers placed in the field. A SCADA system usually consists of the following subsystems: Remote terminal units (RTUs) connect to sensors in the process and convert sensor signals to digital data. They have telemetry hardware capable of sending digital data to the supervisory system, as well as receiving digital commands from the supervisory system. RTUs often have embedded control capabilities such as ladder logic in order to accomplish Boolean logic operations. Programmable logic controller (PLCs) connect to sensors in the process and converting sensor signals to digital data. PLCs have more sophisticated embedded control capabilities, typically one or more IEC 61131-3 programming languages, than RTUs. PLCs do not have telemetry hardware, although this functionality is typically installed alongside them. PLCs are sometimes used in place of RTUs as field devices because they are more economical, versatile, flexible, and configurable. Fig (38). SCADA 38 A data acquisition server is a software service which uses industrial protocols to connect software services, via telemetry, with field devices such as RTUs and PLCs. It allows clients to access data from these field devices using standard protocols. A human–machine interface or HMI is the apparatus or device which presents processed data to a human operator, and through this, the human operator monitors and interacts with the process. The HMI is a client that requests data from a data acquisition server. A supervisory (computer) system, gathering (acquiring) data on the process and sending commands (control) to the SCADA system. Communication infrastructure connecting the supervisory system to the remote terminal units. Various process and analytical instrumentation. Applications: 1. Electric power generation, transmission and distribution. 2. Water and sewage 39 3. Buildings, facilities and environments 4. Manufacturing 5. Traffic signals 40 SCADA Software (Vijeo Citect Explore): Vijeo Citect Explorer is a software Tool used to design SCADA systems.

Vijeo Graphic Builder 42 3.12 Motor Drives AC drives, inverters, and adjustable frequency drives are all terms that are used to refer to equipment designed to control the speed of an AC motor. The term SIMOVERT is used by Siemens to identify a Siemens Motor inverter (AC drive). AC drives receive AC power and convert it to an adjustable frequency, adjustable voltage output for controlling motor operation. A typical inverter receives 480 VAC, three-phase, 60 Hz input power and in turn provides the proper voltage and frequency for a given speed to the motor. The three common inverter types are the variable voltage inverter (VVI), current source inverter (CSI), and pulse width modulation (PWM). Another type of AC drive is a cyclo converter. These are commonly used for very large motors and will not be described in this course. All AC drives convert AC to DC, and then through various switching techniques invert the DC into a variable voltage, variable frequency output. It is an electronic system that control voltage, current and frequency that is fed into electric motor to vary motor speed. It delivers adequate current and voltage in a form the motor can use. Drive can shut itself down when detecting either an interior or exterior problem. Fig (42). Drives 43 Why we use Drives? It save energy or power. Motor Protection. Variable Speed. Lower Power Loss. Types of Drives: AC Drives (VFD) DC Drives AC SERVO Drive DC Servo Drive Different Drives Size with Ratings: Fig (43).
