2. AUTOMATION
AUTOMATION is the use of machines, control systems
and information technologies to optimize productivity in
the production of goods and delivery of services.
It is a step beyond mechanization.
3. ADVANTAGES
Increased throughput or productivity.
Improved quality.
Improved robustness (consistency), of processes or
product.
Reduced cost.
Reduced man power.
4. TYPES OF AUTOMATION SYSTEM
DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS
ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK
HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE
5. DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM
A Distributed Control System (DCS) is a control system that is spread,
or distributed, among several different unit processes.
The entire system of controllers is connected by networks for
communication and monitoring.
Instead of having a centrally located device controlling all machines,
each section of a machine has its own computer that controls the
operation.
6. PCS 7
PCS7 stands for Process Control system of version 7.0
It is a Distributed Control System of SIEMENS.
It contains application that allows to configure system as well as
operate and monitor them in run time.
7. CONFIGURATION OF PCS7 SYSTEM
Engineering Station (ES) -
• PCS7 system uses a central engineering system called SIMATIC MANAGER.
• Offers tools required to configure a complete PCS system from hardware
configuration, communication to application software.
• Contains Process Device manager software- A tool for configuration, parameter
assignment, commissioning , diagnostics & maintenance of process devices from
different manufacturers using a single program with a single user interface.
10. CONFIGURATION OF PCS7 SYSTEM
Operating Station (OS)-Used to operate and monitor the PCS 7
system in the process mode.
BUS(Terminal bus & Plant Bus)-PCS7 components communicate
between and among each other via bus system(Industrial
Ethernet)
a)Terminal bus for communication between ES & OS
b) Plant bus for communication between servers and automation
systems.
13. CONFIGURATION OF PCS7 SYSTEM
Automation Systems:
a) Acquires & processes the process tags from the connected I/O and
outputs control information and set point to the process.
b) Supplies the OS with data for visualization.
c)Recognizes operator inputs & returns them to process.
14. LEVELS OF AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
Standard systems (S-systems)
Fault-tolerant systems (H-systems)
Safety-related systems (F-systems)
Safety-related and fault-tolerant systems (FH-systems)
17. COMPONENTS OF NETWORK
Industrial Ethernet (Profinet): This bus system is used for
communication between all pcs 7 components such as ES,OS and AS.
Profibus DP (Decentralized Periphery)-Allows the communication of
automation systems with distributed I/O devices ,CPUs/CPs and
operator terminals that have a PROFIBUS DP interface.
Profibus PA- Allows the communication of automation systems with
field/process devices such as transmitters.
18. COMPONENTS OF NETWORK
Asi (Actuator sensor Interface)-Used for integrating pneumatic
actuators, solenoid valves and sensors directly into the process
control system via the PROFIBUS DP.
