Basically, virtual commissioning is the practice of using “virtual” simulation technology to “commission”—design, install or test—control software with a virtual machine model before you connect it to the real system. Using the TIA Portal to simulate, validate, and optimize controllers and machines Machine development is usually sequential: Mechanical design, electrical design, and automation are performed […]

What is HMI and HMI Programming? In the world of industrial automation, Programmable Logic Controllers, or PLCs, control plant floor equipment to manufacture certain goods. Although the field of automation has grown tremendously over the last few decades, humans play a significant role in the operation, troubleshooting, and maintaining these complex systems. That led us […]
Introduction Allen Bradley Timer The TON, also known as Timer ON, an instruction is used to keep track of time of occurrence of certain events. The conditions preceding the TON instruction will allow the timer to start counting up to a specified value. Once this value is reached, the program will set specific internal bits notifying […]
Model-Based Design (MBD) lets software be tested before the machine it will control is available and the control cabinet fully wired. The machine building industry has certainly changed by Model-Based Design. Extensive and sophisticated control programs contain the core know‐how and make today’s machines more flexible and productive. Although software and data is important for […]
What is SCADA Systems? SCADA stands for “Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition”. SCADA is a type of process control system architecture that uses computers, networked data communications and graphical Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) to enable a high-level process supervisory management and control. SCADA systems communicate with other devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and […]
PLC, SCADA and DCS systems Originally PLC, SCADA and DCS systems were supplied by separate manufacturers. Today the top 3 PLC companies Siemens, Rockwell and Schneider are in the top 5 of SCADA suppliers and are also in the top 7 of DCS manufacturers! Using different products but often with common I/O, controllers and sharing […]
