Automation may be defined as the automatic operation or control of equipment, a process or a system. Automation generally has economic benefits and reliability, quality, operational and safety benefits. Automation is driven by many factors, including technology advancements and higher customer expectations.
The types of automation are listed below, such as:
- Local automation – an automatic sequence for a device or assembly, initiated either by a
trigger event or an operator, using local logic
- Remote manual – a local action initiated remotely, either by a trigger event or an operator
- Central automation – an automatic sequence for a device or assembly, initiated either by a trigger event or an operator, using
centralised logic
The applied automation for a system may be a combination of the types of automation. Automation may be applied to:
- Substations
- Generator controls
- Transmission system
- Distribution system
BESST use the Rockwell Integrated Architecture Builder for system development of Rockwell PLC systems.
BESST can provide assistance in the development of the detailed design of the automation system including the tasks listed below.
