Scope of Job of this course:

In very huge and gigantic Industrial Plants to small plants also the machineries are

working with fully computerized and Automated Systems. All Industrial Plants have

Instruments like Turbines, Compressors, Pumps, and Generators etc…. and they are

controlled by Computerized Programs . These computerized systems are working on

many of the hardware like PLC and Industrial Software like SCADA, Lab View, VDF

and DCS etc…. All the hardware and software are released from its manufactures with

empty programming. The Automation Engineers in the plant is

creating programs according to the needs of Industry. There are

huge opportunities in all over the world to Create, Run and

Maintenance/Troubleshoot of these Controlling Program s in

Industrial Software .

Type of Industries:

Petrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Fertilizers, Plast ics, Pulp and Paper, Oil and

Gas, Refineries, Aerospace, Alcoholic Beverages, Al ternative Energy Production,

Chemical & Related Manufacturing, Dairy, Electric

power, Electronics Manufacturing, Energy, Food

Industry, Natural Gas Pipelines, Renewable

Energy, Semiconductor, Steel & Iron, Textiles

etc…..

Job Opportunities of this course:

The students passing out from SIIT can enter into career as Junior Automation

Engineer and can grow up into the hierarchy of Shift Engineer ,

Site Engineer , Plant Engineer , and Plant Manager and to

highest and reputed position of Project Engineer in International

Companies all over the world as well as National Companies.

There remuneration and other perks may be in International

Standard according to their individual skills.

PLC/ Automation Lab

The PLC lab of SIIT contains Multiple Workstations equipped with Computers , PLC

units and other Interfacing Devices to train students how to program and upload

Ladder Logic Code . Students program ladder logic code using the RSLogix software,

which provides a graphical interface representing conditional computer programming

functions such as if/else statements. The primary objective of the PLC lab is to

familiarize students with how signals from Input Devices (i.e. switches , sensors , etc.)

can interface with PLC units in order to invoke certain actions (i.e. start/stop an electric

motor, turn on a light, etc.). A PLC functions similar to the computer. A computer

processes input (i.e. keyboard entries, sounds from microphones, etc.) and invokes a

certain output (i.e. showing the letter you typed on the screen, sending a request

through the internet, etc.). Similarly, PLC units processes input and invoke output, but

the inputs to a PLC unit are usually devices such as

sensors, buttons, switches, etc. The outputs are

usually signaling to start/stop motors, turn on/off

lights, sound a horn, etc. The lab is based on the

International Brands Allen Bradley , Siemens ,

Honeywell , ABB and Omron etc… of

Programmable Logic Controllers, which are widely

used in factories and other settings.

SCADA

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It is not a full control

system, but it focuses on the supervisory level .SCADA is a purely software package

which positioned on the top of hardware to

which it is interfaced, in general through

Programmable Logic Controllers(PLCs) or

any other hardware modules. SCADA can be

used for Monitoring and Controlling the Plant

or Equipments .The control may be automatic

and sometimes initiated by operator

4

commands. The primary interface for an operator is a graphical display usually through

computer screen. The updating in Parameters in the field will be reflected or updated in

computer screen. For Monitoring the situations in Plants the Operators or Engineers

must have knowledge about SCADA software and its controls.

Variable Frequency Drive [VFD]

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a type of Motor Controller that drives an Electric

Motor by varying the Frequency and Voltage supplied to the Electric Motor. Frequency

(or hertz) is directly related to the Motor’s Speed (RPMs). If an application does not

require an Electric Motor to run at full speed, the VFD can be used to ramp down the

Frequency and Voltage to meet the requirements of the Electric Motor’s load. As the

application’s motor speed requirements change, the VFD can simply turn up or down

the motor speed to meet the speed requirement. A VFD controls the speed of an AC

Motor, which provides flexibility to the process since Speed can be changed easily for

Process Optimization. Optimizing Motor Control Systems by installing or upgrading to

VFDs can reduce energy consumption in facility by as much as 70%. Additionally, the

utilization of VFDs improves product quality, and reduces production costs. VFD may

enhance the user’s profitability by improving the process, which in turn produces a fast

Return On Investment (ROI).VFD’s are used in Mechanical Field

for controlling the Pump Control Systems and also it is used in

Electrical and Instrumentation fields. So now-a day engineers

need to have awareness about the use and working of VFDs.
