Automation
The document provides an introduction to automation and describes different types and methods of automation. It discusses micro purpose automation used in small devices like watches and washing machines using microprocessors. Mini purpose automation is used in larger machinery like CT scanners and computers using microcomputers. Large purpose automation is used in large factories and industries using programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. The document then focuses on PLCs, defining them as industrial computers that monitor inputs, make decisions based on programming, and control outputs to automate processes. PLCs are used to automate factory assembly lines and other industrial processes in order to reduce human effort, maximize efficiency, and reduce costs compared

- 1. IEEE HIT STUDENT BRANCH PLC & SCADA PRESENTATION BY: ANKUR
- 2. INTRODUCTION TO AUTOMATION • DEFINITION: THE USE OR INTRODUCTION OF AUTOMATIC EQUIPMENT IN A MANUFACTURING OR OTHER PROCESS OR FACILITY In simple words: The process through which each and every work is carried by itself in any plant or system . Used mainly for Higher productivity Superior quality of end products Effective usage of energy and raw materials Improved safety in working conditions
- 3. TYPES AND METHODS AUTOMATION CAN BE BROADLY CLASSIFIED INTO THREE CATEGORIES: • MICRO PURPOSE: USED IN SMALL PURPOSES LIKE DIGITAL WATCH, AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINE STREET SOLAR LIGHTINGS METHOD USING MICROPROCESSORS • MINI PURPOSE: USED IN ROBOTICS, MACHINERIES LIKE CAT-SCAN, MRI, COMPUTERS, LIFTS, PRINTERS, CCTV CAMERAS METHOD USING MICROCOMPUTERS • LARGE PURPOSE: USED IN LARGE FACTORIES, PLANTS, INDUSTRIES, ROCKET LAUNCHING METHOD PLC, SCADA, DSC
- 4. Development of Control System Manual Control Hardwired Logic Control Electronics Control Pneumatic Control Hydraulics Control PLC Control
- 5. PLC • PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER • AN INDUSTRIAL COMPUTER THAT MONITORS INPUTS, MAKES DECISIONS BASED ON ITS PROGRAM AND CONTROLS OUTPUTS TO AUTOMATE A PROCESS OR MACHINE • THE AUTOMATION OF MANY DIFFERENT PROCESSES SUCH AS CONTROLLING MACHINES OR FACTORY ASSEMBLY LINES, IS DONE THROUGH THE USE OF SMALL COMPUTERS CALLED PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER
- 6. WHY PLC??? • REDUCE HUMAN EFFORTS • MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY • REDUCE COMPLEX CIRCUITRY • ELIMINATE THE HIGH COSTS
