Automation
Different automation systems can be used based on different functions to be developed:
Automatic Bottle Filling System
Automatic Bar Feeding Mechanism for Cutting Machine
Automatic Door System
Automatic Paper Cutting Machine
Computer Controlled Servo Indexing Table
Artificial Neural Networks: It is a mathematical or computational model that emulates neural connections and,
as in these biological networks, the structure of the network adapts to changes depending on the information.
They are used to classify relationships and identify patterns in data sets. Some of their applications are email spam filters,
control systems, pattern recognition in systems (radar), spoken or written text and automated financial trading systems.
Distributed Control System: In these systems, controls are not centralized and are expanded by the system.
These controls are expanded according to the part of the system to be monitored. They are used in traffic light control systems,
oil refineries and power stations.
Human-machine Interface: These systems depend on human intervention to function.
Computers and ATMs are an example of human-machine interface systems.
Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition System(SCADA): This system can be composed of other systems such as a human-machine interface
connected to remote terminal units, which work to translate sensor signals into understandable data.
This is a system that completely controls the manufacturing site and even different production plants.
They are very similar to distributed control systems. The main difference is that in SCADA systems the control is not done in real time.
However, the line that differs between the two systems is very diffuse and they are often used in similar applications.
Programmable Logic Controller: These are systems that work in real time and control machines in an industrial production line.
PLCs are small programmable computers that control and automate processes in real time. They are designed to control multiple input and output signals.
These systems have different applications and therefore have different uses as they control the operating logic of machines, plants and industrial processes, etc.
