Workshop on PLCs and Fieldbuses

Thursday 25 Nov 1999, 09:00 → 11:00 Europe/Zurich

503/1-001 - Council Chamber (CERN)

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Fieldbuses are industrial products used for many years in industrial control applications. There are numerous PLC manufacturers; CERN has made a Market Survey and has selected two large manufacturers (Schneider and Siemens) as providers of General Purpose PLCs and supporters of the three CERN recommended Fieldbus Standards (CAN, Profibus and WorldFIP). PLCs and Fieldbuses are basic and complementary elements for control applications. They are already in use in Accelerators and Experiments and current applications will be reported during this Workshop. The CERN management will express their position concerning these recommendations. Small PLC and Fieldbus-based control systems will be presented by Schneider and Siemens. Demonstrations by the CERN PLC and Fieldbus UserÕs Group (GUAPI) will also be done. - Recommendations on the use PLC and fieldbuses by the CERN Management - Technical presentations on PLC by Siemens and Schneider representatives - Technical presentations on CAN, Profibus and Worldfip by industrial experts - PLC and fieldbuses support at CERN
