Implementing our solutions offers multiple advantages.
An automation and control system is a combination of hardware and software that allows industrial equipment and processes to be automatically monitored and controlled, improving efficiency and reducing human errors.
The main components include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMI), sensors, actuators, communication networks, and control software.
The most commonly used protocols include Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet/IP, OPC UA, and Profinet, each with different advantages and specific applications depending on communication requirements and system architecture.
PID control is implemented by configuring specific function blocks in the PLC to calculate control actions based on the setpoint deviation, adjusting the parameters of proportional gain, full time and derivative time.
An HMI (Human Machine Interface) allows operators to interact with the control system, providing real-time data visualization, alarms and manual process control.
Field control networks, such as Fieldbus and DeviceNet, allow real-time communication between sensors, actuators and controllers, being integrated through interface modules in the PLC or DCS.
By duplicating controllers, networks and power supplies to ensure operational continuity in the event of a component failure.
Ladder programming is a graphic language that represents logical electrical circuits, making it easier for technicians and operators to program PLCs. It differs from other languages such as structured text or the list of instructions in its visual approach and simplicity for representing control logic.
The benefits include increased productivity, improved product quality, reduced operating costs, increased safety, and reduced human error.
It is guaranteed through the use of firewalls, segmented networks, strong authentication, data encryption, regular security updates, and continuous threat monitoring.
