Description
Summary:This project is focused on the development of PLC supervisory control system to control and remotely monitor a batch blending process in lubricant blending plant. Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC) is used as a standard interface between PLC and Lab VIEW's remote monitoring tool. The interface used Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) to interact and permit a protocol for real-time information exchange between LabVIEW and PLC via a RS-232 serial cable. The aim of this project is to create a reliable remote monitoring system with user-friendly interface. The supervisory control system can improve plant's operation efficiency by providing the overvie~ process and control capability from the monitor inside control room. It also helps to reduce risk inside plant as operator can have their job done remotely inside cOntrol room. Furthermore, this project offers an alternative and cheaper supervisory solution for batch processes compared to distributed control system (DCS).
