Abstract

Title: Design and Implementation of Advanced Controller for Flow LoopControl using OPC

I A flow loop process is connected to the PLC and PLC has a ModbusEthernet port.

I A Modbus TCP/IP protocol is configured in OPC server.

I After this communication, plant is connected to Simulink using OPCclient.

I The OPC communication is simple and easy for real timecommunication in the automation industry.

OPC

I Open Platform Communications (OPC) is a series of standardsand specifications for industrial telecommunication.

I OPC specifies the communication of real-time plant data betweencontrol devices from different manufacturers.

I The OPC specifications are based on Microsoft Windows technologyusing the COM/DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) forthe exchange of data between software components.




OPC Features

I Security: OPC is firewall-friendly while addressing security concernsby providing a suite of controls.

I OPC architecture is extensible.

I The OPC information modeling framework turns data intoinformation.

I Platform independence




OPC Toolbox MATLAB

I OPC Toolbox provides a connection to OPC DA and OPC HDAservers, giving you access to live and historical OPC data directlyfrom MATLAB and Simulink.

I It can read, write, and log OPC data from devices, such as distributedcontrol systems, supervisory control and data acquisition systems, andprogrammable logic controllers.

I It can read and analyze data from any data historian that conforms tothe OPC Foundation Historical Data (HDA) access standard.

I Platform independence




Communication with Plant

I Flow loop plant is connected through PLC to OPC server using TCP/IPprotocol.

I In Simulink, inputs can be configured from OPC server and data canbe readout.

I Similar way, outputs can be written from Simulink to plant.

I So, real plant can be controlled using OPC protocol.

OPC Configuration in SimulinkI Configure OPC Read Block: we need to add tags (address) which we

want to read and configured in OPC server.





OPC Configuration in SimulinkI Configure OPC write Block: we need to add tags (address) which we

want to write and configured in OPC server.I Generally, we run the Simulink model for ∞ time.
