Automation Lab

Automation laboratory is one of the well-equipped core laboratory in Electronics and Instrumentation department. It has Programmable Logic controller and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system) to control as well as monitor the process automatically.

Programmable logic controllers are now the most widely used industrial process control technology. A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial grade computer that is capable of being programmed to perform control functions. The programmable controller has eliminated much of the hardwiring associated with conventional relay control circuits. Other benefits include fast response, easy programming and installation, high control speed, network compatibility, troubleshooting and testing convenience, and high reliability. The PLC is designed for multiple input and output arrangements, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact.
