PLC and Scada and Dcs

PLC stands for programmable logic controller and is used to control particular operations in a plant. DCS or distributed control system is used to control an entire plant and consists of a network of interconnected PLCs and other devices. SCADA, or supervisory control and data acquisition software, is used with industrial control systems to monitor and control the system. Specific PLC manufacturers provide compatible SCADA software to interface with their PLCs to monitor and control the automation process.

PLC - Programmable Logical Controller (Digital computer device)

DCS - Distributed Control System ( Network of Interconnected devices including


number of PLC’s )

SCADA - Supervisory Control and Data Acquistion ( software for industrial


control system )

PLC manufacturer provides a specific SCADA software to control their PLC

Ex- for OMRON PLC the SCADA software use is CX- Supervisor

For MITSUBISHI PLC – Uniware

For simenes – Win cc and internal on TIA portal

PLC are used to control the particular operation in a plant —but —DCS is
used to control the entire Plant

DCS is used when PLC’s are not sufficient to control the entire automation
process ( more number of inputs and outputs)

PLC
 It is device which is used to control the process (or) outputs connected to it.
 PLC will control the output based on the input program.

 PLC is a digital computer used for Industrial process automation.


 PLC is usually used for controlling medium and some large scale
applications.
 PLC is used where number of input and output are less (or) we can say in
hundreds.
PLC Power supply
Two types of PLC
1. With SMPS. (230 v AC)
2. Without SMPS ( 24 v DC)
(SMPS- switched mode power supply)

PLC Memory
1. Program Memory - to store and execute the program
2. Data memory - to store the Input and output data

Communication port
To interface with pc and to upload(PLC to PC) and to download (PC to PLC) the
Program.

Ports used
 RJ 11
 RJ 45
 RS 232
 USB - universal serial bus
 Rs-485
Programming Language
1. Structured text
2. Instruction list
3. Sequential flow chart
4. Functional Block diagram
5. Ladder Diagram
( 4 & 5 th type are mostly used and it is simple)

Input devices
1. Switches
2. Push buttons
3. Sensors.. . Etc

Output devices
1. Motor
2. Lamp
3. Drilling Machine.. etc

DCS - Distributed Control System

Distributed control systems (DCS) are dedicated systems used in manufacturing


processes that are continuous or batch-oriented.

Number of power full PLC’s are connected in a DCS


SCADA

 SCADA is a designing software.


 Inputs and Outputs are user defined ( predefined in PLC).
 SCADA concept was developed as a universal means of remote access to
a variety of local control modules.
 A PLC may control the flow of the water through a part of an industrial
process to a presser level.... But SCADA system will allow operators to
change the preset level value.
 SCADA can allow user to view the entire process in a flow chart and
graphical structure.
 SCADA is Capable of monitoring the process parameters of the whole
plant.
