GONZALEZ-FILGUEIRA, Gerardo  e  PERMUY, Francisco Javier Rodríguez. Automation of an industrial power plant through distributed control. RISTI [online]. 2018, n.27, pp.1-17. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.27.1-17.

Logistics is part of the automation processes in Industry 4.0. The industrial sustainability depends on the speed and efficiency with which the filling, classification, packaging and transport processes are carried out. The automation of these processes helps to improve the efficiency ratios in any industry. The use of distributed control is suitable for industrial plants in the service-food sector. such as manufacturing of yoghurts, cheese, cream, butter, desserts, etc. This paper presents the automation of the process of making rice with milk in a dairy products plant corresponding to an SME. The plant object of automation consists of areas of filling, cooking, emptying and a return zone. To do this, we have proceeded to the use of three PLC's that communicate through Profibus communication using the Master-Slave protocol. A Data Acquisition System (SCADA) is used to corroborate the correct operation of the process.
