Programable Logic Control (PLC) Automation

INTRODUCTION

There has always a great need for communication within industries. However, in the present, the focal points have changed. In the past, integration considered the different levels in the automation process where in the lowest level sensors and actuators communicate with a controller. Communication for the different levels was solved separately using the well known communication protocols. Now there are quite different demands. From underneath field devices with more intelligence, stand alone production equipment and other automation parts need to communicate large quantities of data in fast and deterministic fashion. From the top level (management level), the demands are production planning and control integration, quality management, traceability, maintenance systems and others. There is a need to integrate everything from sensors to the board of directors, from remote plants to local operator station, etc. This calls for a better communication.

Recently, Industrial Ethernet provide that field buses do not already offer, such as: integration to the office world, more bandwidth and bigger data package for communication, faster real time communication, homogenous networking mostly using Ethernet, integration of existing field buses, and many more. These properties have motivated to introduce Industrial Ethernet solution.

In this training program, we have designed a course that will show participants the advantage of industrial Ethernet technology, architecture/ topology, the needed software, the integration of existing field buses, the application, etc.

DESCRIPTION
