Summary
The aim of the study is to design and implement an OPC-based SCADA system's physical and software structure model, which controls and supervises systems containing multiple controllers from different commercial companies.Within the scope of the study, we implemented an electropneumatic pressing unit as a prototype and designed the operator panel to be used by the operator for handling the pressing process and integrated it into the system.An OPC server-based SCADA system was designed to supervise and control all the Electro-Pneumatic Pressing System, which contains multiple controllers from different commercial brands, which use different industrial communications protocols.
