  1. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) – Market And Trends in Australia With the level of automation rising in the Australian sector, learning how to programme PLCs and identify problems is becoming increasingly important. PLC/DCS control systems are primarily used in the oil and gas industry and mineral processing sectors. And it is expected that engineers and electricians will maintain and troubleshoot these systems. In general, more aged engineers and electricians are less skilled in this field, and younger electrician are less familiar with PLC programming and problem identification. Programmable Logic Controller – Market Insights An overview of the programmable logic controller market in Australia is provided below. 1) Trends, trend forecasts, and market growth factors for PLCs The global market is expanding due to the rising demand for safety, energy efficiency, higher productivity, and sustainability products. The integration of contemporary PLC frameworks in the worldwide market is made possible by the growing growth of smart cities, the enormous demand for networking, and the significant prevalence of personal mobile devices. The development and implementation of home and industrial PLC automation systems will also be supported by the increasing use of smartphones and network connectivity.

  2. 2) Change in the role of an Industrial Electrician with PLC Controls and SMART instruments in the industry In Australia, several industries, including coal, steam gas, oil and gas, mineral processing, meat processing, and chemical processing, have expanded quickly over the previous five to ten years. These sectors have adopted digital technology by swapping out pneumatic equipment with SMART instrumentation and relay-based controls for PLC control logic. An industrial electrician not conversant with disruptive technologies like PLC and its accompanying Human Machine Interface and SMART equipment may, unfortunately, find himself out of a job. 3) PLC Market by End-Users The Programmable LogicController market’s end-user sector is divided into the automotive, chemicals and petrochemicals, mining and metallurgy, paper, packaging & printing, food & beverage, water & waste-water treatment, oil & gas, and others. Siemens Vs Allen Bradley PLC Two main businesses that currently rule Australia’s PLC industrial sector are Rockwell (AB PLC) and Siemens. Here is a comparison between these powerhouses. Hardware Both of these automation technologies have the same functionality and dependability in terms of hardware. You must also connect the AB power supply and the AB rack for the AB PLC. For safety communication ports, you must install additional cards. Siemens have built-in safety communication ports compatible with any 24V DC power source. AB uses native American protocols such as DeviceNet, EthernetIP, and ControlNet. European protocols, including ASI, Profinet, and Profibus, are used by Siemens. Automation Procedure Management •AB is simple to set up and administer, and users can simply monitor and control the system thanks to the user-friendly interface. It is well-liked by end users because of features like communication with third-party hardware, mass generation of code, and export/import tags from Excel to SCADA databases.

  3. •Siemens appears to be difficult for regular maintenance employees to use and requires more computer programming knowledge, but it also provides more choices for customising the process. •Siemens provides two safety runtime groups, allowing you to configure controller settings with various priority and time cycles and separate the infrastructure into two groups. You can programme blocks and download them to the PLC without pausing any processes. This is not possible with AB PLC because it only supports one safety group. •Additionally, Siemens provides additional programming methods, including FBD, SCL, STL, LAD, etc. High-end AB systems, however, enable function blocks in addition to other programming paradigms.
