Part 2: Understanding PLC, HMI, and SCADA
This part will take us through the major tools in industrial automation (PLC, HMI, and SCADA). You will learn by following the step-by-step instructions provided. Simulation is also available in some of the steps, which makes it easy for those without the actual device to have an understanding of how it works and how to use it. What seems complex has been made simple by using a hands-on approach.
This part has the following chapters:
- Chapter 7, Understanding PLC Hardware and Wiring
- Chapter 8, Understanding PLC Software and Programming with TIA Portal
- Chapter 9, Deep Dive into PLC Programming with TIA Portal
- Chapter 10, Understanding Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs)
- Chapter 11, Exploring Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA)
