Design and Build Scalable Control Systems Using IEC 61131-3, Ladder Logic, SCADA and HMI for Modern Industrial Automation (English Edition)

About this book

Your Fast-Track Guide to PLCs, SCADA, and Smart Control.Key Features? Learn core IEC 61131-3 PLC languages like Ladder, ST, and FBD in depth.? Design scalable control systems with reusable, modular logic.? Integrate PLCs with HMI, SCADA, and modern industrial networks.Book DescriptionEmbark on a structured, hands-on journey into the world of PLC Programming and Machine Automation. This comprehensive guide takes you from the fundamentals of IEC 61131-3 programming languages, ??such as Ladder Logic, Structured Text, and Function Blocks to the advanced techniques required to build reliable and scalable automation systems.Start by understanding how software environments interact with PLC hardware, and the field devices they control. Explore the inner workings of industrial networks, the role of standardization in system design, and how to ensure seamless communication and interoperability using protocols, such as Modbus, Profinet, and OPCs.As the chapters progress, you will gain practical insights into modular software design, integration with HMI and SCADA systems, and how to architect automation projects for small machines as well as complex processes. You will also learn how to future-proof your solutions through robust network topologies, version control practices, and building a solid foundation for modern, connected, and intelligent industrial control systems.What you will learn? Master the intricacies of PLC programming with IEC 61131-3 standards.? Effectively structure control logic, using Ladder, ST, and FBD languages.? Establish robust communication with field devices and remote systems.? Integrate PLCs seamlessly with HMI, SCADA, and industrial protocols.? Develop modular and scalable control architectures for complex processes.? Perfect the design of standardized, maintainable, and optimized PLC software.? Understand how emerging technologies like IIoT and AI connect with PLCs.Table of Contents1. Introduction to PLCs2. Industrial Networks3. Programming Languages for PLCs4.
