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 […]
Why is Automation System Integration important for your business? Automation Systems integrators create direct lines of communication between automated systems. On this, the overall system allow plant equipment to more efficiently communicate with operators and other machinery. There are many benefits of automation systems integration and many industries, especially those that rely on information technology, […]
What is PLC Programming? A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is an industrial computer control system. It provides the brainpower necessary to allow the machine to operate using coding logic programmed into the PLC. Widely used in manufacture and automation, PLC Programming is the digital logic running in the background of a machine unseen to the […]

What is Mechatronic Engineering? Mechatronic Engineering combines the fundamentals of Mechanical, Electrical and Computer Science to develop autonomous systems. A Mechatronic Engineer designs smart machines and systems that are aware of their environment, and can processing information to make decisions. What is a Machine? Today, large scale integration of electronic devices, ever expanding computing hardware […]
The industrial automation peaked when you use automated control like Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Computer Numerical Control (CNC), Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) etc. They help in controlling industrial processes and machinery, replacing manual intervention and dangerous assembly operations, which are automated. Functional Elements of Industrial Automation Industrial Automation consists of an array of elements, which […]
A programmable logic controller (PLC), also referred to as a programmable controller, is the name given to a type of computer commonly used in commercial and industrial control applications. The hardware and software of PLCs require to perform these tasks. While the specific applications vary widely, all PLCs monitor inputs and other variable values, make decisions […]
