2006 ALA Survey on Industrial Laboratory Automation

Remote Laboratory for Industrial Automation

In this paper we present a remotely accessed experiment on industrial automation. Using this remote access, students may verify the correctness of their previous work and increase the productivity of laboratory classes. The experiment provides a web page for interfacing with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) which controls an electro-pneumatic process. Students may remotely download the pro...

Industrial Organization: A Survey of Laboratory Research

Industrial Automation Using OLE

Often, industrial automation software is a single monolithic program that must handle all aspects of control, data gathering, architecture, and reporting. Design of such software is time consuming and error prone. Furthermore, maintenance or modifications to the code is difficult and can “break” other functions. A more powerful approach is to use the multiprocessing capabilities of Windows95 a...

Review in Industrial Automation

Automation or automatic control is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers , heat treating ovens, switching in telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications with minimal or reduced human intervention. The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves labour, save energy, materials a...
