Industrial Automation from Scratch: A hands-on guide to using sensors, actuators, PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA to automate industrial processes

Industrial Automation from Scratch: A hands-on guide to using sensors, actuators, PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA to automate industrial processes Explore industrial automation and control-related concepts like the wiring and programming of VFDs and PLCs, as well as smart factory (Industry 4.0) with this easy-to-follow guidePurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookKey Features:Learn the ins and outs of industrial automation and control by taking a pragmatic approachGain practical insights into automating a manufacturing process using PLCsDiscover how to monitor and control an industrial process using HMIs and SCADABook Description:Industrial automation has become a popular solution for various industries looking to reduce manual labor inputs and costs by automating processes. This book helps you discover the abilities necessary for excelling in this field.The book starts with the basics of industrial automation before progressing to the application of switches, sensors, actuators, and motors, and a direct on-line (DOL) starter and its components, such as circuit breakers, contactors, and overload relay. Next, you'll explore VFDs, their parameter settings, and how they can be wired and programmed for induction motor control. As you advance, you'll learn the wiring and programming of major industrial automation tools - PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA. You'll also get to grips with process control and measurements (temperature, pressure, level, and flow), along with analog signal processing with hands-on experience in connecting a 4-20 mA transmitter to a PLC. The concluding chapters will help you grasp various industrial network protocols such as FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Modbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and HART, as well as emerging trends in manufacturing (Industry 4.0) and its empowering technologies (such as IoT, AI, and robotics).By the end of this book, you'll have gained a practical understanding of industrial automation concepts for machine automation and control.What You Will Learn:Get to grips with the essentials of industrial automation and controlFind out how to use industry-base [...] Autor: Olushola Akande Wydawnictwo: Packt Publishing Limited Rok wydania: 2023 Okładka: miękka Liczba stron: 492 Wymiary: 19 x 23.5 x 3 cm Język: angielski ISBN: 9781800569386
