Description
Summary:The article is a review of the latest available technologies on the market which are part of “Industry 4.0”, in the field of protection, control, and power supply of equipment. The authors focus on the development of the protection devices (PLC controllers), which can be used not only for protection purposes but also for the diagnosis and monitoring of the entire system. The key element is the communication structure involving protection, main PLC controller, and DCS, which has an impact on the reliability of the whole system. The authors compare different solutions that allow increasing the reliability of the system (ethernet connection), compared to the classic system (wire connection). Universal protection devices are more flexible devices compared to classic control equipment, but also allow us to make modifications to the structure after commissioning, during normal operation of the system without stopping the technological process.
