Relay Logic Fundamental and working

The two vertical lines that interface all gadgets on the transfer rationale chart are named L and N. The space somewhere in the range of L and N speaks to the voltage of the control circuit.

Devices are constantly associated with N. Any electrical over-burdens that are to be incorporated must be appeared between the yield gadget and N; in any case, the yield gadget must be the last segment before N.

Control gadgets are constantly appeared among L1 and the yield gadget. Control gadgets might be associated either in arrangement or in corresponding with one another.

Devices which play out a STOP work are normally associated in arrangement, while gadgets that play out a START work are associated in equal.

Electrical gadgets are appeared in their typical conditions. A NC contact would be appeared as typically shut, and a NO contact would show up as an ordinarily open gadget. All contacts related with a gadget will change state when the gadget is invigorated. 

Figure 1 shows a run of the mill hand-off rationale chart. Right now, STOP/START station is utilized to control two pilot lights. At the point when the START button is squeezed, the control transfer stimulates and its related contacts change state. The green pilot light is currently ON and the red light is OFF. At the point when the STOP button is squeezed, the contacts come back to their resting state, the red pilot light is ON, and the green switches OFF.

Functional Levels of a manufacturing control operation

SCADA system has the facility to handle different levels in the manufacturing plant. 

Level 0:-Level 0 contains the field devices in the plant such as flow and temperature sensors, and final control elements, such as control valves, final control elements.

Level 1:- Level 1 contains the controller’s industrialized input/output (I/O) modules, and their associated distributed electronic processors.

Level 2:-Level 2 contains the supervisory computers, which collect information from processor nodes on the system, and provide the operator control screens.

Level 3:- Level 3 is the production control level, which does not directly control the process, but is concerned with monitoring production and targets.

Level 4:- Level 4 is the production scheduling level.

Open-loop and closed-loop (feedback) control

Fundamentally, there are two types of control loop;

1.     open loop control

2.     Closed loop feedback control.

In open loop control, the control action from the controller is independent of the "process output" (or "controlled process variable").

A good example of this is a central heating boiler controlled only by a timer, so that heat is applied for a constant time, regardless of the temperature of the building. (The control action is the switching on/off of the boiler. The process output is the building temperature).

In closed-loop control, the control action from the controller is dependent on the process output. In the case of the boiler analogy, this would include a thermostat to monitor the building temperature, and thereby feedback a signal to ensure the controller maintains the building at the temperature set on the thermostat.

A closed loop controller, therefore, has a feedback loop which ensures the controller exerts a control action to give a process output the same as the "Reference input" or "set point". For this reason, closed-loop controllers are also called feedback controllers.

The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standard Institution is 'a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero.

Likewise, a Feedback Control System is a system which tends to maintain a prescribed relationship of one system variable to another by comparing functions of these variables and using the difference as a means of control.

The advanced type of automation that revolutionized manufacturing, aircraft, communications, and other industries, is feedback control, which is usually continuous and involves taking measurements using a sensor and making calculated adjustments to keep the measured variable within a set range. The theoretical basis of closed-loop automation is control theory.
