Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems offer increased efficiency and other benefits but also come with various drawbacks like cyber security risks. Understanding the pros and cons of these systems can help you better understand their role in the…
Industrial Automation is necessary to be competitive in today’s market for its increased speed, higher efficiency, scalability, cost, and more. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t cons to industrial automation, such as high installation and configuration costs. Are you trying to understand…
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are essential for automatic and semi-automatic processes. SCADA systems collect data, monitor components, and control processes. A SCADA system is not one computer or sensor but all of the sensors and computers working together. Are…
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are a staple of modern industrial automation with more benefits than drawbacks. They outperform relay alternatives in flexibility, safety, response times, remote access, and more. It’s much easier to expand a PLC-based system than one built…
The industrial automation technologies include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), UL 508 Panels, Human-Machine Interfaces, servers, sensors, variable frequency drives (VFD), Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and Remote Terminal Units (RTU). Are you trying to understand…
There are three main types of industrial automation: fixed automation, programmable automation, and flexible automation. Additional types of automation with industrial applications include robotic process automation, integrated automation, process automation, and totally integrated automation. Are you trying to learn more about…
Servers play an important role in industrial automation by acting as centralized locations for information transfer and storage, as well as facilitating monitoring and control. With servers, industries can enable real-time monitoring of their processes and equipment. Are you a…
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems include all the sensors, connections (gateways), PLCs, Human-machine interfaces, and servers involved in an automated process. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are an important part of hardware within the SCADA System. Trying to make…
Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) are used in industrial automation to display key metrics and controls to regulate an automated process. They communicate with PLCS, SCADA, and other automated systems. HMIs can be found in more than industrial settings, but the industrial…
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) plays an essential part in the industrial operations process by collecting and analyzing data from sensors and devices. This data helps to then optimize the industrial process by improving maintenance capabilities. Are you an…
