PLC SCADA HAS A HUGE FUTURE IN ALL TYPES OF INDUSTRIES. THE ENTIRE AUTOMATION FIELD IS NOW CONCENTRATED ON PLC AND SCADA OR HMI. EARLIER FOR CONTROLLING PURPOSE RELAY LOGIC OR MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL WAS USED. BUT NOW ITS ALL DONE BY PLC. ITS DUE TO THE HIGH RELIABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY GIVEN BY PLC. SUPPOSE IN AN INDUSTRY THE CUSTOMER WANTS TO CHANGE THE LOGIC AFTER SOME TIME. ITS NOT EASY TO DO THAT IN RELAY LOGIC OR MICROPROCESSOR. BUT IT CAN BE ACHIEVED EASILY IF PLC IS USED.
NOW PLC IS USED IN HOME AND BUILDING AUTOMATION TOO. SO WE CAN SAY THAT PLC AND SCADA IS THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR ALL CONTROLLING PURPOSE WHERE THERE IS A NEED FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION.SO PLC AND SCADA HAS A GREAT FUTURE
Industrial Automation is vast developing system in the Current world.All type of industries depends PLC and and SCADA system for controlling and monitoring the entire system.Now the PLC is using for RTU and internetwork building automation.
PLC SCADA systems have great programming flexibility along with high speed communication,larger number of I/O handling capability, small sizes and larger memory. Therefore, it is the best option for industrial automation applications these days and in future as well. In future its merger with Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) will increase its efficiency and will improve its functionality along with hardware and software improvements.
A PLC is a digital computer which works on a software to a make any automatic electromechanical operations/processes like control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or light fixtures in the industries such as Automobile factory, Steel Industry, Power generation industry, Paint shop, Packaging line, Bakery etc.As Industries adopt automation technologies to achieve-1/Repeat accuracy in the function/process.2/Adhering strict delivery schedules .3/Reduction in human errors.4/Less dependence on labor.5/International quality standards.So you will find automation in each & every industry irrespective of its size. As the demand of automated machines is on rise, you will find increase in manufacturers of such machines & plants. Now, the user & manufacturer of automated systems require engineers to design, maintain & modify such systems. So ideally every industry needs such automation engineers.PLC & SCADA are also used in the Stackers,Reclaimers,Ship loaders and Conveyor belt systems which are used in Ports and Mines.Whenever any industry wants to employ engineers they prefer automation engineers rather than just typical degree/diploma engineers.
The future for PLC and SCADA is looking very interesting indeed.
In the short term, integration using systems such as Tridium's Niagara and Schneider Electric's Struxureware.
The longer term future however will likely be very different. Analytics are becoming more commonplace and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is almost here. Combined this will provide edge tech systems capable of interacting with all our smart devices, from phones and tablets to TVs, and any other device that can connect to our networks (doors, cameras, lighting, everything).
Telcos are going to play a major part in this and security will become very important to us all.
Simply the feature of SCADA was demonstrated by NOKIA Company, how, It was the year 2003, the most of the NOKIA customers faced one problem, that is battery blasted. within 1 month period the company found out which factory make the mistake. wherever the batteries were distributed. the searial numbers of the batteries. every thing were founded out easily with the help of SCADA.
SCADA- is now used in every process industries and in Electrical Generation, Transmission and Distribution which have lead to less time of interruption, reliability of system, fault can be located and isolated and restored, less manpower requirement.
PLC are mostly used in process companies, where as for Major Electrical system RTU's are used. With the help of RTUs the real time data of both analog and digital is obtained, command are given to breakers and isolator for its operation without interface of human.
industrial automation is getting advancement and machinery is replacing human and for industrial automation PLC SCADA is the best and more restfullest choice.
Without PLC we can not able to use SCADA.we need to give inputs to SCADA from PLC to display the parameters which we tagged through PLC Memory bits or directly from I/o's.
the future of PLC and SCADA is vide because for any industry productivity is most important and without gathering DATA we never do any analysis and implementation.
SCADA is collection of many PLC's
