SEMINARS & WORKSHOPS

This workshop was mainly focused on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and the way of using such modern technologies in Industrial Automation. The Technical Experts from Axis Global Institute of Information Technology (AGIIT) were invited to conduct the workshop on Industrial Automation. They were kind enough to get the kits to demonstrate the working of Relay Logic, PLC and SCADA. The workshop was held on 9th March, 2017 in New Horizon College of Engineering for the students who have registered for the Workshop. The Workshop was organized by Dr.S.Sujitha Under ESOFT club of NHCE, an aim of imparting the knowledge about Relay Sensing, PLC and SCADA, the workshop began at 10 am. For an introductory session, students were briefed about the importance of Industrial Automation by the Head of the Department Dr. R. Elumalai and Mr. Jijo (AGIIT).
The workshop then proceeded to Hands on experience in Simulation Lab. Initially, there was a lecture on Relay Sensing and explained clearly about the working of Relay logic and how it is being used in industries. There was an interactive session, wherein the students were free to ask clarifications to the experts. The workshop proceeded towards PLC and its applications in Automation. There was even a demonstration about the working of PLC and Relay Logic brought by the experts. The software through which relay logic can be controlled and the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) to controls the PLCs (master control) was explained practically to the students. The workshop was successful in imparting the knowledge about the emerging technology. The students enjoyed the session in particular and developed their interest in Automation.
