Customized SCADA System for Cost Effective Solution. Implementation of Visual Basic based SCADA System for Packaging Machine

      Аннотация: In Factory Automation engineers are looking for the use of Visual Basic for the implementation of SCADA applications for several reasons. Most of the SCADA applications require less number of user input parameters & data logging, monitoring & trending functionalities to be visualized by the user. In Industrial environment, there are times when traditional SCADA based solutions provide most of the functionality but at a much higher cost than budgets allow for small OEM customers. By utilizing Visual Basic s integrated event based user interface design and database connectivity functionality like SQL and adding off-the- shelf plug-in’s like ActiveX controls or DLL or MSCOMM components to produce front end graphics, trending, communication, & alarming.Developers, OEMs, integrator, and users can create industrial HMI or SCADA applications. The designed VB based SCADA is commensurate with: A real-time view of the industrial process; reduction in the downtime & troubleshooting time for faults; safety of operating personals.
