Remote control and supervision using SIMATIC-SIEMENS Programmable Logic Controllers

Abstract

This project focuses on two key components of contemporary industrial automation systems: Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and supervisory systems. It involves programming two stations that are part of an instructional system located in an educational laboratory at Guelma University, Department of Electronics and Telecommunications. The main stages of the project include conducting a comprehensive study of the sensors and actuators present in the stations, creating a Grafcet to modulate the planned operational order, configuring the hardware, programming the Grafcet using two common languages, and implementing a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for process monitoring and control. The programmable logic controllers used are SIMATIC-SIEMENS, and the SCADA software is WINCC.
