Home Automation using PLC and SCADA

Abstract

Home automation is an integral part of modern lives that help to monitor and control the home electrical devices as well as other aspects of the digital home that is expected to be the standard for the future home. Home appliance control system enables house owner to control devices Lighting, Heating and ventilation, water pumping, gardening system remotely or from any centralized location. Automatic systems are being preferred over manual system. This paper aims at automizing any home appliances. The appliances are to be controlled automatically by the programmable Logic Controller (PLC) DELTA Electronics DVP SX10. As the functioning of the Appliances is integrated with the working of PLC, the project proves to be accurate, reliable and more efficient than the existing controllers. It is a combination of electrical, electronic and mechanical section where the software used is Ladder Logic language programming. The visualization of the current status of the home appliances is made possible with the use of SCADA screen which is interfaced to the PLC through various communication protocols. Winlog visualization software is a powerful SCADA/HMI for industrial automation, process control and supervisory monitoring. This WINLOG SCADA software has the ability to Remote application deployment and change management. Also it has Modbus and OPC Connectivity and it is equipped with 3D GUI
