Factory automation

Objectives

The object of this solution for factory automation is to construct an unified system to attain uniformity of all components in automation and controlling:

• Central supervisor system (HMI)
• Network communication
• Controllers

Advantages

Advantages of this solution appears from phase of planning through project realization up to the end use and maintenance:

• simplified electro project
• reduction of electric installations
• simplified system set up
• possibility of adaptation and upgrade
• subsystem integration
• centralized system overview
• saving energy
• unified management and maintenance
• reduction of spare parts
• cheaper solution and maintenance

Solution

The solution is in automation of individual subsystems based on compatible equipment and integration between subsystems and human-machine interface (HMI) over one communication network.

Factory automation can be divided into several inter-connected subsystems:

• supervision (doorkeeper, supervision room – HMI)
• intelligent space (offices, meeting rooms,…)
• engine room for preparation of the heating/cooling media
• electro-energetic part (transformer station, generators...)
• public spaces (eating hall, production, other halls,...)
• external arrangement (outdoor lighting, park places...)
• other (lifts, corridors and passages, storehouses...)

Users and Guests Benefits

Manager has the possibility of setting the parameters, alarm and data monitoring or historical trend recording over central supervision system. This gives him the possibility to influence the most important factor of the facory – saving energy.

Equipment applied

• LPC
