w w w . a u t o m a t i o n d i r e c t . c o m Control Systems Overview eCS-3

The most common control systems todayare the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), PC-based control, and the mostrecent addition, the Programmable

Automation Controller (PAC). While theyeach share a few attributes with the oth-

ers, their differences lie mainly in formfactor and functionality.

Progr ammable Logic Contr oller The Farlex Dictionary defines a PLC

as follows: A programmable micro-processor-based device that is used indiscrete manufacturing to control assem-bly lines and machinery on the shop floor as well as many other types of mechani-cal, electrical and electronic equipmentin a plant. Typically RISC based andprogrammed in a specific-purposeprogramming language, a PLC isdesigned for realtime use in rugged,industrial environments. Connected tosensors and actuators, PLCs arecategorized by the number and type of I/O ports they provide and by their I/Oscan rate.

PLCs excel at sequential logic and basicanalog control. Their modularity andruggedness make them suitable for awide variety of automation applications.

PC-based Contr olWith Personal Computer technologybooming in the 1980s and 1990s, therewas a natural progression to consider using the processing power in these units

to solve more complicated applicationsthat extended well beyond the realm of digital and analog I/O manipulation.These more advanced capabilites couldbe performed far more efficiently byhardware and software native to thecommercial personal computer.Examples of these requirements include:

The need for a Human MachineInterface (HMI) as well as control

Advanced data manipulation andadvanced math functions

Data exchange with businessapplications (spreadsheets,ERP systems)

One or more third-party PC cards, suchas those for motion control or visionsystems

Communication with serial ornetworked field devices

Storage or access to large amounts of data

Large number of PID loops (64 or more) Open architecture for C/C++ or

VisualBasic systems Online productivity tools to analyze and

improve performance of the process

In a PC-based control system, a stan-dard operating system such as WindowsNT supports HMI and control softwarerunning on a PC platform, either a

readily available commerical model or anindustrially hardened unit. PC architectureallows the system to seamlessly support avariety of third-party I/O, specialty motionand vision systems, and field networks.

Pr ogrammable Aut omation Cont roller A programmable automation controller isa compact controller that combines the

features and capabilities of a PC-basedcontrol system with that of a typical pro-grammable logic controller (PLC).

This hybrid arose not only to solvecomplex applications with the speed andprocessing power of a PC-based system,but to do it on a platform capable of withstanding the environmental poundingthat PLCs have been subjected to for

many years.

Ideally, a PAC encompasses the followingfeatures:

PLC Feel Modular footprint

Industrial reliability

Wide array of I/O modulesand system configurations

PC Power

Large memory andfast processing

High-level data handlingand enterprise connectivity

Extensive communicationscapability, multiple protocols andfield networks

PACs are most often used for advanced machine control, processcontrol, data acquisition and equipmentmonitoring.

Although each PAC vendor uses their own development environment (IDE) andprogramming language, PAC networkingis typically based on IP and Ethernet.

This class of controller provides more mem-ory capacity and processing power whichallows for better data processing capabili-ties, and connectivity to enterprise businesssystems from the plant floor.

Additionally, PACs offer the benefit of easy integration for multi-domainsystems comprising Human MachineInterface (HMI), discrete control andprocess control.

Considerations for Choosing a Controller

Consideration Information to Record Why this is important

1.Proposed System ____ New system

_____ Existingsystem

Determine whether your system is new or existing: Will your systembe installed from scratch or are there existing products alreadyinstalled? The rest of your system will need to be compatible withnew components.Why this is impor tant: Certain controller products may not becompatible with others. Making sure your existing products arecompatible with any new products you are researching will saveyou time and money. Check appropriate entry.

2.Environmental Issues

____Codes/environmentalissues to consider

____ No codes or environmentalissues to con-

sider

Consider any environmental issues that will affect your application(temperature, dust, vibration, codes specific to your facility, etc.).Why this is impor tant: Certain environments may affect the opera-tion of a controller. For example, typical controllers have an oper-ating temperature of 0-55 degrees Celsius (32-130 degrees F). If your application will include any extreme environmental condi-

tions, or you have specific codes at your facility that must be met,you will need to either research products that meet those specifi-cations or design the installation to meet requirements. Checkappropriate entry.

3.Discrete Devices

_____ Total inputs:_____ AC_____ DC

_____ Total outputs:_____ AC_____ DC

Determine how many discrete devices your system will have. Whichtypes (AC, DC, etc.) are needed?Why this is impor tant: The number and type of devices your systemwill include is directly linked to the amount of I/O that will benecessary for your system. You will need to choose a controller that supports your I/O count requirements and has modules thatsupport your signal types.Enter quantities and type based on corre-sponding field devices.

4.Analog Devices

_____ Total inputs:____ Voltage____ Current____ Thermo____ RTD

_____ Total outputs:____ Voltage____ Current

Determine how many analog devices your system will have.Which types (voltage, current, temperature, etc.) are needed?Why this is impor tant: The number and type of devices your systemwill include is directly linked to the amount of I/O that will benecessary for your system. You will need to choose a controller thatsupports your I/O count requirements and has modules thatsupport your signal types. Enter quantities and type based on corre-sponding field devices.

5.Specialty Modules or Features (application- specific)

_____ High speed counter _____ Positioning_____ Servo/stepper _____ BASIC programming

_____ Real-time clock

_____ Others (list)

Determine whether your system will require any specialty features:Will your application require high-speed counting or positioning?What about a real-time clock or other specialty feature?Why this is impor tant: Specialty functions are not necessarily avail-

able in a controller CPU or in standard I/O modules.Understanding the special functions your system may perform willhelp you determine whether or not you will need to purchase addi-tional specialty modules. Check all features required.

Use the worksheet on the following pages as a checklist of the things to consider when determiningprogrammable controller requirements. It lists the most important areas to consider when choosinga system, and provides space for recording determinations of your system needs.

Considerations for Choosing a Controller

Consideration Information to Record Why this is important

6.CPU Required

Hardware requir ements:

________ K program memory required(estimated)

________ K data memory required(estimated)

______ Fast scan time required?

______ Battery backup required?

Software/special f unctionr equir ements:

____ PID

____ Floating Point Math

Others (see Programming section below)

Determine the type of CPU you will need: How much memory will your system require? How many devices will your system have (determines datamemory)? How large is your program, and what types of instructions will your program include (determines program memory)? How fast a scan time doyou need?Why this is impor tant: Data memory refers to the amount of memory neededfor dynamic data manipulation and storage in the system. For example,counter and timer instructions typically use data memory to store setpoints,current values, and other internal flags. If the application requires historicaldata retention, such as measured device values over a long period of time,the size of the data tables required may determine the CPU model youchoose. Program memory is the amount of memory needed to store thesequence of program instructions that have been selected to perform theapplication. Each type of instruction requires a specific amount of programmemory, typically defined in a programming manual. Applications that are

basically sequential in nature can rely on the I/O device rule of thumb to esti-mate program memory (five words of memory for each I/O device); complexapplications will be more difficult to judge.If scan time is important in your application, consider the CPU processor speed as well as instruction execution speed. Some CPUs are faster atboolean logic but slower with data handling instructions.If special functions such as PID are required, the CPU you select may makethose functions easier to perform.For program memory required, follow this rule of thumb: 5 words of pro-gram memory for each discrete device and 25 words for each analogdevice. Check or calculate all requirements that apply.

7.I/O Locations

_______Local . . .only

_______ Remote Locations

Specific remote I/O protocolrequired? Which one?

____________________

Determine where your I/O will be located: Will your system require onlylocal I/O, or both local and remote I/O locations?Why this is impor tant: If subsystems will be needed at long distances fromthe CPU, you will need a controller that supports remote I/O. You will alsohave to determine if the remote distances and speeds supported will beadequate for your application. Serial and Ethernet-based I/O hardwareare two typical choices available for most systems. This I/O may also bereferred to as distributed I/O, and may require a particular protocol, suchas Modbus.Enter number of physical locations needed, and if/what specific protocolmay be required.

8.Commuications

_____ Ethernet_____ PLC to PLC

_____ Modbus RTU

_____ ASCII (interface to serial devices)

_____ Other

Determine your communication requirements: Will your systembe communicating to other networks, systems or field devices?Why this i s impor tant: Communication ports (other than the programming

port) are not always included with a controller. Knowing your systemcommunication requirements will help you choose a CPU that supportsyour communication requirements, or additional communication modulesif necessary. Check any/all communications functions required.

9.Programming

_____Floatingpoint math

_____Drumsequencer

_____ PID loops

_____ number of loops needed

_____ Subroutines

_____ Direct interrupts

_____ Others (list)

Determine your programming requirements: Does your application requireonly traditional programming instructions, or are special instructions neces-sary?Why thi s is impor tant: Certain controllers may not support every type of instruc-tion. You will need to choose a model that supports all instructions that youmay need for a specific application. For example, built-in PID functions aremuch easier to use than writing your own code to perform closed-loopprocess control. Typical instructions such as timers, counters, etc. are availablein most controllers; note any other special instructions required here. Check

any/all programming functions required.

Cost-effective I/Osimplifies hydroelectricplant controls upgradeLockhart Power Company owns and

operates a hydroelectric plant located onthe Broad River in upstate South Carolina.

The plant includes an 8-gate dam feedinga canal that channels the water flow to thepowerhouse. The powerhouse containsfive turbine generators with a combinedpower capacity of over 17 MW. The damand turbine control system receives datafrom power, flow, and level sensingdevices to perform monitoring and controlof the dam, generators, and associatedequipment.

Lockhart Power contracted North ForkElectric in Crumpler, NC, to lend their expertise to a renovation of the conrtolsystem.

The system consists of seven DirectLOGICDL205 micro-modular PLCs with built inPID functionality. Each of the five systemsfor generator control includes discrete andanalog I/O, and an Ethernet communica-tions module. The remaining two PLCs areconfigured in a master/slave arrangementand control the dam gates, located upriv-er from the powerhouse, via radiomodems. Operator interfaces include two6-inch color touch screen panels and aWindows NT-based PC running theLookoutDirect SCADA/HMI softwarepackage.

In the automatic mode, the PLC can start,stop, and operate the generator, andcontrol startup and synchronization of theturbine. Changing the generator gateposition varies the flow of water to theturbine.

The dam control system controls the eightcanal gates located at the dam, whichregulate the flow of water downstream tothe turbines.

Semi cab sheetingproduction improvedITS, a design build firm in Columbus, Ohiospecializes in industrial automation. Thecompany was contacted by a division of International Harvester responsible for themanufacturing of semi cabs. InternationalHarvester uses automated machines toplace aluminum rivets on sheeting that isattached to the frame of the semi cabs. Theoriginal CNC machines were becomingantiquated and needed to be upgraded.

ITS chose a DL205 PLC as the new con-troller for the machines, along with discreteI/O and an H2-CTRIO high-speed counter module that drives a dual axis servo. An H2-ECOM Ethernet Communications card linksthe machines back to an office for dataacquisition. ITS also added a 15-inch touchscreen for diagnostics.

In the new system, an operator stampssheets of aluminum to welded frameworkwith a handful of hand rivets and thenplaces the product onto a dual axis servotable. After the operator selects one of five

different parts programs, the machine willnavigate the panel under the head assem-bly, which is responsible for the drilling andriveting, with a tolerance of 1/10 of amillimeter. The panel is drilled and a rivet isinstalled and squeezed to approximately1200 PSI, producing a rivet consistencywithin .003 in. After completion of the panel(between 64 and 138 rivet locations), themachine will return to its home position andawait the next product.

The solution increased productivity byapproximately 30% and provides an easyway to run and maintain the machines.

DL06 PLC puts heaters tothe testPyromatics Automation Systems of CrystalLake, Il. was contracted by a customer todevelop a Life Cycle Test Station for itselectric heating elements.

This test station needed a user-friendlygraphical interface to give operators theability to select multiple ramp/soak parame-ters, output voltages, temperature sensor types, amperage ratings and total cyclecounts on tests for the cast-in electric heater platens. The system also needed to recordtemperature, volts, and current drawthroughout the test for use in quality reports.

Also, a failure of the heater required a safeshutdown of the test while alerting the qual-ity department of the alarm condition.

Pyromatics selected the cost-effectiveDirectLOGIC DL06 PLC as the heart of the system because of its ability to control upto eight PID loops and the multiple expan-sion slots available for thermocouple cardsand analog input modules. It also controlstwo heaters, two chillers and an array of panel indicators, buttons, switches andrelays.

A C-more 10-inch TFT touch-screen opera-tor interface was used to provide operatorswith the necessary interface to operate andmonitor the tests.

The completed system allows users to quick-ly connect the heater to be tested, enter testparameters, and run the test. Trend chartson the C-more panel track test parametersand quickly identify potential issues such assudden drops in current or temperature.

Alarm reporting and history are also auto-matically recorded, allowing the operator todetermine causes of failure. Data from thetest can be easily uploaded to a USB thumbdrive from the C-more panel. The data canthen be imported into the users choice of word processor or spreadsheet.
