This document summarizes automation using SCADA and PLC software. It discusses two main software: 1) SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), which is a GUI developer software used to design process plant layouts and connect to real-time processes. 2) PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), which is a control and automation software that makes decisions based on programmed logic and controls outputs. It provides an example of a ladder logic program and SCADA interface created for a car parking system with automatic gates. The system uses proximity sensors and timers/counters in the PLC and can be monitored and controlled through the SCADA GUI.
