Modeling and Simulation of an industrial automaton (Oil shipping pump)

Abstract

The research we conducted during the period of this thesis aims to design a computer application for HMI panel to control a pump station unit via the virtual industrial programmable logic controller that reproduces by simulation the operation of the real automation at lower cost and without risk. The purpose of our application is to make it easier for the operator to work, to ensure material and personal safety, with the least amount of manpower, and to avoid pump outages and shipping delays with the lowest cost possible. As part of our project, we needed automation and supervision software. It is in this sense that we decided to use the new Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) software, which combines both SIMATIC STEP 7 and WINCC.
