Some PLC systems can use traditional TCP/IP protocols to exchange information; others use a proprietary packet driven system that differs from manufacturer to manufacturer.
It is called synchronisation of a PLC network.
PLC can be classified on many factors - Make, Modular type / fixed type, capacity in terms of IO counts it can connect to, memory capacity, processor speed, networking features, moton control features etc....
There are different communication protocols between PLC and the SCADA. Popular SCADA being PC based, most used communication protocol is ethernet/IP. The PLC tags are used to build the objects in SCADA so that Actions or states or status or parameters of PLC are displayed on SCADA.
A programmable automation controller (PAC) is a compact controller that combines the features and capabilities of a PC-based control system with that of a typical programmable logic controller (PLC). Therefore, the PAC features not only reliability as a PLC but flexibility and power as a PC at the same time. PACs are most often used in industrial settings for process control, data acquisition, remote equipment monitoring, machine vision, and motion control. Additionally, because they function and communicate over popular network interface protocols like TCP/IP, OLE for process control (OPC) and SMTP, PACs are able to transfer data from the machines they control to other machines and components in a networked control system or to application software and databases.
PLC's are used for automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or light fixtures. just about anything can be controlled because PLC's use microprocessors which can be programmed for a variety of tasks.
supervisory control and data acquisition
they have different objectives (plc - make profit, charity - help others)plcs owned by shareholders but charity's are owned by and controlled by trustees who volunteercharities dont have to pay business costshope those three were ok :)
PLC training teaches people how to program a digital computer that controls processes like runing industrial machines. "Much like any other computer system, a programmable logic controller, or PLC, has to be programmed by someone. PLC training is simply the training course that prepares you to program PLCs."
Sensors send incoming signals either digital or analog to PLC. There are a lot of types of sensors: inductive, capacitive, temperature, optical, etc.
