امروزه شرکت های زیادی هستند که برای افزایش بهره‌وری خود تصمیم گرفته‌اند که از اتوماسیون صنعتی است.فاده کنند و ما به دلیل اهمیت این موضوع تصمیم گرفتیم در این مقاله ابتدا شما را با چیستی اتوماسیون صنعتی آشنا کنیم و سپس به بیان مزایا آن بپردازیم. ممنون از اینکه تا پایان این مقاله همراه ما بودید.

In industries many sensors, actuators, controlling PC’s and other control devices are geographically distributed and interacting with each other via several data buses. There are three types of buses used in the industrial automation i.e., factory bus, process bus, and the field bus. Field bus interacts between field instruments and the control devices while the process bus connects the supervising level computers to the control devices like PLC’s. Factory bus connects the higher level of the organization to the supervising level. Different protocols are used for the communications like RS-, Profibus, CAN control Modbus, etc.

Pyramid structure indicates that, as you go up the tip , the information is aggregated and while coming down it is dissolved. This means we will get the detailed information for a particular variable at the bottom. Industrial automation doesn&#;t mean that all the levels are automated like enterprise level need not be automated. Sensor level is also called as process layer. It uses the sensors and actuators to get the values of the process variables in continuous or periodical manner. These act as eyes and arms of the industrial processes. Some of these instruments include pneumatic instruments, smart instruments, etc.

Flexible automation systems are utilized in computer-controlled flexible manufacturing systems. Human operators enter high-level commands in the form of computer codes that identify products and their location in the system’s sequence to trigger automatic lower-level changes. Every production machine receives instructions from a human-operated computer. The instructions trigger the loading and unloading of necessary tools before carrying out their computer-instructed processes. Once processing is completed, the end products are transferred to the next machine automatically. Flexible industrial automation is used in batch processes and job shops with high product varieties and low-to-medium job volumes.

 به طور معمول، انسان‌ها از کارهای پیش پا افتاده و تکراری بیزار هستند. در حالی که سیستم‌های رایانه‌ای آن‌ها را بدون شکایت انجام می‌دهند. وظایفی که فاقد تنوع هستند، فضایی برای درخشش سیستم‌های خودکار فراهم می‌کنند ، اما این مورد در سیستم‌‌هایی که از سنسورهای پیشرفته و یکپارچه‌سازی است.فاده می‌کنند نیز صدق می‌کند. اگر این عمل مستلزم شرایطی باشد که متناسب با راحتی و تمرکز انسان نیست، اتوماسیون به کار گرفته می‌شود.
