PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)

Today’s complex industrial environments require unprecedented technical knowledge. Xybella’s industrial software solutions are modular, tried and tested. This provides both simple and powerful solutions to industries toughest requirements.

We design the full range of systems covering the smallest PLC application to a multi-site management information system.The power of the PLC has progressed to such a degree that tasks once considered only possible by distributed control systems (DCS), such as highly complex networks in production lines and process systems, are now practical with PLCs and at a fraction of the cost.

Structured programming
When PLCs were first introduced, most programming involved a single large section of code. As the controllers became more powerful, it became possible to divide programs into smaller more manageable sections i.e. programs started to have structure.

Object orientated programming
Programming larger systems requires a new approach. By basing the programming structure on objects (equipment or function), software may be developed faster and is considered to be potentially more reliable.

i.e. Palletiser, Conveyor 1, Conveyor 2 or Comm's to HMI, Comm's from HMI, Comm's to remote PLC

PLC programming

PLC programming may be split into two distinct types; 1. Address based 2. Tag based

Address based PLCs
Each PLC has a fixed list of pre-allocated address types. The following are examples of these fixed address types e.g. Siemens S7 "M1.0" binary , Allen Bradley SLC 500 "N7:5" - Integer. Comments and documentation must be added to the address to describe its function.

Tag based PLCs
This system requires the programmer to enter the name of the tag and allocate a data type to it. For example, in an Allen Bradley ControlLogix PLC a tag name may entered as "RotationTime". Then, its type is allocated as " TIMER". Care has to be taken in tag naming. Tag length should generally be kept to a minimum but not at the cost of loosing its meaning. The tag name itself can be sufficient documentation.

Xybella's PLC programmers have a great deal of experience and expertise using software from the major manufacturers. The following list some of the PLCs and their dates of origin:

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)

Having the latest information quickly and in the format required is critical to business, whether it relates to production rates, process efficiencies or material stock levels. Most of this type of data is stored in a database such as Oracle. Often, manufacturing databases are connected to production planning and many other management tasks.

SCADA systems

SCADA systems can be divided into 3 key areas:

  • Control
  • Data acquisition
  • Reporting

Control
Designing and implementing architecture best suited to the application is an extremely important requirement. Often reliable control of processes is critical and can require the implementation of hot backup or redundant systems. Xybella brings together multi-skilled teams to select the appropriate technology for each application. Providing a friendly and simple user interface for operators to control equipment is an important aspect of systems design. Software mimics provide a highly flexible environment by using graphics and controls to represent complex processes. Xybella's approach is to look at the whole automation environment to help you select the best solution. You will be impressed by Xybella’s expertise.

Data acquisition
Each piece of data from the field equipment must be individually identified, processed and saved into the real time database. Deciding on which pieces of data should be recorded is often a complex process. Xybella engineers are experienced in selecting the most useful data to provide the highest value to our customers. Whether it is for statistical process control (SPC) or process reliability calculations, we can advise you on the best data to use.

Reporting
SCADA system acquires large amounts of data so how to format and present it in the friendliest fashion is critical to the success of the system. Xybella’s team have successfully delivered a large number of systems by working together with our customers to define reporting requirements. We understand fully that reporting requirements often evolve, so we give this area high priority to allow the fastest solutions.

SCADA programming

SCADA programming for logic is usually either Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or a scripting language unique to the SCADA. As a general rule of thumb, logic programming should be avoided as much as possible i.e. implement as much of the SCADA configuration in the standard built-in objects, tick boxes and functions without resorting to scripting. Clearly, scripting is required in many circumstances, so good clear documentation, with comments and highlights of complex or unusual code, makes the logic maintainable for the long term.

VBA usually uses an object model unique to the SCADA to read and write to their tags.

PLC and SCADA systems

This represents the combination of the two technologies PLC and SCADA to deliver automation and control to process, factory automation, packaging and many other automation applications.



PLC SCADA developers

Our PLC SCADA developers bring both PLC and SCADA know-how to a project. This can provide substantial benefits by:

  • Reducing costs (One engineer's time versus two)
  • Improving quality (Single programmer is able to maintain the software knowledge of both systems without having to document and communicate it to other engineers)
  • Reducing development time (No time is wasted communicating cross references)
