  • Abstract:
  • PLC and SCADA based industrial automation system is the most widely used control system employed in present scenario and its application is increasing very fast. Starting from a small equipment control to a large plant control these systems are used. Manufacturer also finds it very convenient to use PLC in place of embedded control for their flexibility. Although PLC and SCADA system is a generic term the ranges of product available have wide variety. It depends upon the requirement of the system. Very often it is selected based on manipulated suggestion received from the system integrator or a vendor. It may either results into a costly or a compromised product due to lack of basic knowledge about design techniques. This paper describes a very simple method to PLC and SCADA based system. It will be useful for the actual process engineers who gives the whole work to a turnkey vendor or to a consultant. The method helps to design an architecture as well as select seize of major components. While explaining a general building services system has been taken as an example
