2. Introduction
• What is Automation?
• • Automation involves using control systems
to operate equipment with minimal human
intervention.
• • Why use Automation?
• • Improves efficiency, reliability, and safety in
industrial processes.
3. What is PLC?
• PLC stands for Programmable Logic Controller
• • Used to control machines and processes in
industries
• • Designed for multiple input and output
arrangements
• • Can withstand harsh environments
4. Components of PLC
• Power Supply
• • CPU (Central Processing Unit)
• • Input/Output Modules
• • Communication Interface
• • Programming Device
5. Working of PLC
• Inputs (sensors, switches) are received
• • CPU processes logic based on programmed
instructions
• • Outputs are sent to actuators/machines
6. What is SCADA?
• SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition
• • System used for monitoring and controlling
industrial processes
• • Provides interface for operators to supervise
the system
8. Working of SCADA
• Collects real-time data from sensors and PLCs
• • Displays information on HMI
• • Allows operator to control processes
remotely
9. PLC vs SCADA
• Feature | PLC | SCADA
• • Functionality | Control hardware |
Monitor and control processes
• • Intelligence | Performs logic operations |
Provides interface and data
• • Scope | Local machine control |
Wide-area process control
12. Conclusion
• PLC and SCADA are key components in
industrial automation
• • They work together for efficient and
intelligent control
• • Widely adopted in modern industries
