Industrial Automation (IA) is an integrated, flexible and low-cost system platform consisting of various equipment and elements performing a wide range of functions related to industrial processes such as sensing, control, supervision, and monitoring.The following equipment’s what makes a industrial automation structure which defines the different functional elements of IA.

Sensing and Actuating Elements

The sensors or sensing elements convert variables such as flow, pressure, temperature, etc. into electrical or pneumatic form for the physical process.Different sensors include thermocouples, Resistor Temperature Detectors (RTDs), strain gauges, etc. To generate the control output, the signals from these sensors are used for processing, interpreting, and making decisions.To achieve the appropriate output, the different control strategies are applied by comparing the current sensed process variable to the specified values.Furthermore, the controllers generate the measured outputs which are added to the actuating components as electric or pneumatic signal inputs. Actuators convert the electrical or pneumatic signals to the physical process variables. Some of the actuators include control valves, relays, motors, etc.

Various Sensors

Smart instruments which are special type of instruments which are embedded sensing devices or actuating components with the capacity to connect with field buses.Such intelligent systems consist of an internal signal conditioning circuit which allow direct access to the contact channel in the industrial bus network.

Control System Elements

These are the electronic controllers based on microprocessors or simply industrial computers that accept signals from various sensors as well as control signals from supervisory systems or from human operators.Such controllers may be continuous control structures, or sequential/ logical control is based on the device function structure.The controller measures the sensing values and the supervisory values and delivers the control output to various actuating instruments based on the configuration of the sensors.

Programmable Logic Controller

The Programmable Logic Controller ( PLC) is a common type of control equipment used in automation systems. PLCs come with dedicated software to allow them to be configured to perform the correct control operations.PLCs include reliable CPUs, digital I / O, analog I /O and connectivity modules to monitor the different process parameters under industrial conditions.

Human Machine Interface or User Interface is a graphical user interface that displays process information, such as process variable status, data tracking, alarm signal generation, etc.SCADA is among the graphical user interfaces that monitor the manufacturing processes remotely.In addition, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) have their own HMI for viewing different industrial parameters graphically.

Supervisory Control Elements

Supervisory control maintains higher level power over the adaptive controls that power the smaller subsystems .Process station PCs, and Human Machine Interfaces are the main elements of this category.Such PCs are responsible for tasks such as fixed point measurements, performance control, diagnostics, initialization, shutdown and other emergency operations.Human Machine Interface or User Interface is a graphical user interface that displays process information, such as process variable status, data tracking, alarm signal generation, etc. SCADA is among the graphical user interfaces that monitor the manufacturing processes remotely.In addition, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) have their own HMI for viewing different industrial parameters graphically.
