Industrielle Automation
Definition
Automation (automation, Automation ) :
1) set of all measures aiming at replacing human work through machines
(e.g. automation is applied science)
2) the technology used for this purpose
(e.g. this company has an automation department)
Automation (automatisation, Automatisierung )
1) replacement of human work through machines
(e.g. the automatisation of the textile factory caused uproar of the workers)
2) replacement of conscious activity by reflexes
(e.g. drill of the sailors allows the automatisation of ship handling) automation and automatisation are often confounded: in English, it is the same word.
(they are related like electricity and electrification)

Expectations
Process Optimisation
• Energy, material and time savings
• Quality improvement and stabilisation
•
• Reduction of waste, pollution control
Compliance with regulations and laws, product tracking
•
•
•
Increase availability, safety
Fast response to market
Connection to management and accounting (SAP™)
> Acquisition of large number of “process variables”, data mining
Personnel costs reduction
• Simplify interface
•
Assist decision
• Require data processing, displays, data base, expert systems
-> Human-Machine-Interface (HMI)
Asset Optimisation (gestion des moyens de production)
• Automation of engineering, commissioning and maintenance
•
•
•
Software configuration, back-up and versioning

Data quantity in plants
Power Plant 30 years ago
100 measurement and action variables (called "points") analog controllers, analog instruments one central "process controller" for data monitoring and protocol.
Coal-fired power plant today
10'000 points, comprising
8'000 binary and analog measurement points and
2'000 actuation point
1'000 micro-controllers and logic controllers
Nuclear Power Plant three times more points than in conventional power plants
Electricity distribution network
100’000 - 10’000’000 points information flow to the operators: ~ 5 kbit/s.
human processing capacity: about 25 bit/s without computers, 200 engineers (today: 3)
Data reduction and processing is necessary to operate plants
