Part B: Experiments of PLC Automation
Dear Students
There are many open-source simulation software’s available to execute PLC program Ladder Diagram mode.
Among these software LogixPro is one of the best platforms to learn the PLC Logic along with built in
simulations.
LogixPro is the ideal tool for learning the fundamentals of ladder logic programming. The look, feel and
operation of LogixPro's ladder rung editor so closely mimics Rockwell's world renown PLC editing software,
that many need a second look to be sure whose editor they're using. Of course, the give-away is the window
containing one of our ProSim-II Simulations. This is where LogixPro really out-shines typical PLC training
setups employing a PLC connected to a handful of switches and lights. By graphically simulating process
equipment such as conveyors, bottling plants, etc. in software, the synchronous and interactive nature of real
industrial processes, presents the student with a far more realistic and challenging programming experience.

Problem Solution
PLC program to implement various logic gates, along with program explanation and run time test cases.
AND
• By connecting Normally Open / XIC contacts in series, AND gate can be implemented.
• When both inputs are set to 1, then and then only output goes high.
OR
• By connecting Normally Open / XIC contacts in parallel, OR Gate can be implemented.
• When either input is set to high, output goes high.
NOT
• By using just one Normally Closed / XIO contact, NOT Logic Gate can be implemented.
• Inverted state of input is obtained as an output.
NOR
• By connecting Normally Closed / XIO contacts in series, NOR Logic Gate can be implemented.
• If both inputs are Reset to 0, output goes High otherwise remains in Low state.
• Or by inverting output of a OR Gate, that is by using output of OR Gate as an input of NOT Gate,
NOR Gate can be implemented.

NAND
• By connecting Normally Closed contacts in parallel to each other, NAND Gate can be implemented.
• Or by simply inverting output of AND gate, NAND Gate can be implemented.
EX-OR
• By connecting XIC and XIO in series with parallel to XIO and XIC in series as shown in diagram
above, EX-OR Gate can be implemented.
• When both inputs are identical, output is 0. Output is high when A ≠ B.
• Note here that XIC of first series contacts and XIO of second series contacts must be given same
address and similarly for the other two.
EX-NOR
• By connecting two XIO contacts in series with parallel to two XIC contacts in series, EX-NOR gate
can be implemented.
• When both inputs are identical A=B=O or A=B=1, output goes high.
• It implies same here as in EX-OR gate that address must be given same.
• By inverting output of EX-OR gate, implementation of EX-NOR can be accomplished.

1.Meaning of SCADA
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is a category of software applications for controlling
industrial processes, which is the gathering of data in real time from remote locations in order to control
equipment and conditions. SCADA provides organizations with the tools needed to make and deploy data-
driven decisions regarding their industrial processes.
SCADA systems include hardware and software components. The hardware gathers and feeds data into field
controller systems, which forward the data to other systems that process and present it to a human-machine
interface (HMI) in a timely manner. SCADA systems also record and log all events for reporting process status
and issues. SCADA applications warn when conditions become hazardous by sounding alarms.
Functions of each component of SCADA system,
There are many parts or components of SCADA system, which include hardware (input and output),
controllers, networks, user interface, communications equipment and software. Altogether, the
term SCADA refers to the entire central system. The central system usually monitors data from various
sensors that are either in close proximity or off site (sometimes miles away).
An industrial SCADA consisting of the following
1. A central host or master station unit or, master terminal unit (MTU);
2. One or more field data gathering and control units or remotes (usually called remote stations,
remote terminal units, or RTU’s);
3. A collection of standard and/or custom software used to monitor and control remotely located
field data elements.
Contemporary SCADA systems exhibit predominantly open-loop control characteristics and utilize
predominantly long-distance communications, although some elements of closed-loop control and/or short
distance communications may also be present.
Major components of SCADA
1) A collection of equipment’s that is provide the operator at remote location with enough information to
determine the status of particular piece of equipment or entire substation or a plant or a dynamic network and
cause actions to take place regarding that equipment or network without being physically present.
2) An arrangement for operator control and separation of remotely located apparatus using multiplexing
techniques once a relatively small number of interconnecting channels.
3) Collecting Data from remote electrical equipment and controlling then through suitable communication
medium.

Describe SCADA Hardware and software
A SCADA system consists of a number of remote terminal units (RTU) collecting field data and sending that
data back to a master station, via a communication system. The master station displays the acquired data and
allows the operator to perform remote control tasks.
The accurate and timely data allows for optimization of the plant operation and process. Other benefits include
more efficient, reliable and most importantly, safer operations. This results in a lower cost of operation
compared to earlier non-automated systems.
SCADA system essentially has five levels or hierarchies, as listed below
1. Field instrumentation and control devices: These analog and digital sensors situated at each remote site
2. Marshalling terminals and RTUs: These provides an interface to the field devices
3. Communications system: Communications systems form the backbone of SCADA. The widely used
systems are wire, fiber optic, radio, telephone line, microwave and possibly even satellite. Specific protocols
and error detection techniques are used for efficient and optimum transfer of data pathway for communications
between the master station and the remote sites
4. The master station(s): The master stations gather data from the various RTUs provide an operator interface
for display of information and control of the remote sites
5. Information Technology (IT) Applications: The commercial information technology (IT) or data
processing department computer system.
SCADA Hardware Functions
There are many functions of SCADA; some of them are listed below.
Data Collection: collecting of the information via a RTU (remote terminal unit)
Data Transfer: transferring it to the central site
Data Processing: Carrying out any necessary analysis and control
Information Display: Displaying that information on operator screens or displays
Control Actions: Required control actions are then conveyed back to the process

SCADA Software
Generally, SCADA is completely a software package that helps to monitor the entire area of the plant. The
basic architecture of the SCADA begins with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or Remote Terminal
Units (RTUs).
As we know, PLC or RTUs are microprocessors that communicate with the field devices such as valves,
pumps, sensors, HMIs, other end devices, etc. These devices route all this collected data from end devices to
SCADA computers. Then SCADA software processes distribute and display the data on the monitor to better
understand the operator about the field condition.
For example, in a cement plant, there are various weighing scales. The operator is allowed to change the
specific set rate for each weighing scale according to plant requirements. SCADA displays the real-time
process value of each weighing feeder and also logs the data.
Applications of SCADA.
SCADA Systems are widely used in the following:
• Oil and Gas
• Pipeline monitoring and control
• Remote equipment and asset monitoring and control of production, pumping, and storage
locations
• Offshore platforms and onshore wells
• Refineries, Petro-chemical stations
• Plant/factory automation
• Water and Wastewater
• Water treatment centers and distribution
• Wastewater collection and treatment facilities
• Utilities
• Electrical power distribution from gas-fired, coal, nuclear
• Electrical power transmission and distribution
• Agriculture / Irrigation
• Manufacturing
• Food and Beverage
• Pharmaceutical
• Telecommunications
• Transportation
• And many others
Meaning of HMI and its applications.
A human-machine interface or HMI is a component that is used as an interface between an operator and a
process or piece of machinery. It is a graphic interface that allows complete control of a machine from one
dashboard. They are found on pretty much every piece of equipment you come across in manufacturing and
in the industrial process world.
Types of HMI.
There are three main types of human machine interfaces you will come across:
a) The Push Button Replacement Panel
These are pretty self-explanatory; they replace all of the pushbuttons needed to operate the machine. They
centralize complete process/machine control from one panel without the need for a number of different
physical pushbuttons. A graphical button will be displayed on the screen and they can be used for a number
of different functions, such as start-stop, homing, screen navigation, and resets.

b) The Overseer Panel
This type of panel is used to view SCADA systems or MES systems. They are not just used to control one
machine but can control/monitor a number of machines/processes from one place.
c) The Data Handling Panel
This type of HMI is used to present feedback from a machine’s performance or production report. They can
be used to set different recipes or view/accept alarms that occur on the machine. Graphs can be created on
these types of HMIs along with a visual representation of how the machine is performing.
Advantages of HMI.
For plants and facilities, there are several benefits of installing an HMI system. Below are a few of the many
benefits of having an HMI system:
1. Alarms/Warnings: An HMI can allow plant operators to view alarms and locate a malfunction in the
equipment, allowing them to react more quickly. Alarms can be preventive, so the operator is alerted before
the system reaches an emergency level. Alarms can also track several different problems and increase
productivity by optimizing manufacturing processes.
2. Reliable Messaging: For faxes, pages and more, operators can depend on HMI messaging. As
an example, when a machine should be refilled because of a low fuel level, the operator will be alerted
automatically.
3. Easier Overall Management of Plant: Using HMI technology, your company can also easily manage and
carry out recipes. The high-quality graphics of HMI systems provide realistic views of a plant's operations so
that operators can control the facility from central locations. This also helps with any security issues. Now an
operator doesn’t need to approach dangerous areas, and they can control the monitor from another location.
4. Accurate Testing with Simulation: Plant managers can test equipment and devices easily through the use
of an HMI with simulation. Testing can be achieved in the office without any piece of equipment. This
function improves overall production and reduces startup time.
5. Cost Reduction: A human machine interface can reduce operating costs by replacing hundreds of selectors,
pushbuttons, indicator lights and more. This means the need for extra cables, panels and consoles is also
greatly reduced.
6. Improved Communications
HMI can also improve communications throughout the facility by using various types of equipment. This
includes the use of:
• Ethernet
• Data Highway Plus
• DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)
• Remote I/O
• Serial port
Adding an HMI to a workplace benefits a facility by improving its productivity, operation and safety.
Companies such as Red Lion provide a variety of HMI products (available for purchase through Carotron,
Inc.) for even the most demanding industrial applications.
4. Concept of DCS
The name itself represents that DCS is a system including related computers, controllers, and sensors where
all there are in a distributed format all across the plant. Every element in the system performs its own
functionality like data attainment and management, process management along with the graphical display, and

data accumulation. The communication between each element in the plant is done through a centralized
computer which is also termed a controlling network. The crucial component of the plant is the “Distribution
Control System” where is utilized for automated decision-making depending on the production updates as per
reality all across the plant.
Hierarchy of DCS.
Functions of each level of DCS.
Referring to the diagram:
• Level 0 contains the field devices such as flow and temperature sensors, and final control
elements, such as control valves
• Level 1 contains the industrialized Input/Output (I/O) modules, and their associated distributed
electronic processors.
• Level 2 contains the supervisory computers, which collect information from processor nodes on
the system, and provide the operator control screens.
• Level 3 is the production control level, which does not directly control the process, but is
concerned with monitoring production and monitoring targets
• Level 4 is the production scheduling level.
Levels 1 and 2 are the functional levels of a traditional DCS, in which all equipment are part of an integrated
system from a single manufacturer.
Levels 3 and 4 are not strictly process control in the traditional sense, but where production control and
scheduling take place.
