Why SCADA project needed?

Production followed up by Management level

Parameters monitored and analyzed by Engineering level

Fault tracking Save manual data recording time HVAC calculations

Project Hardware AllenBradley -- SLC 5/04 & 5/05

controller StarTech Netrs232 ( Rs232 to Ethernet )

Adapter Ethernet Switches

Project Softwares RSLinx Gateway Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for applications StarTech IP-Extender

Manager

Project Objectives Remote monitoring and recording for

machines status and parameters. Print monthly report about break down

time Daily data presentation Archiving data

Reason behind using Excel Low cost instead of using that software:

FactoryTalk. Cristal Report. Sequel Database.

High programing capabilities. More popular. Unlimited Tags
