1 PLC

Organization Block will be used for operating the FBs .

Function Block is used for Scaling the level of 3 tanks and control the actuators such as pumps and
valves.

Function is used for calculating the values from measurement devices, converting multiple values
and using for close-open status.

Data Block is used for saving the data between input and output ,collecting the data as real-time
from user interface to the PLC tags.

2 Communication between WinCC and program

PROFIBUS:

A fieldbus protocol for automation technology.

In WinCC, you set up a communication channel to the PLC. This involves specifying:

 The type of PLC S7-300

 The network address (IP address or PROFIBUS address)


3

 The protocol to use PROFIBUS

Data flow:

 Reading Data: WinCC reads values from the PLC (sensor readings) and displays them on HMI

screens.

 Writing Data: Operators can send commands from WinCC to the PLC (start/stop a motor).

HMI WinCCPLCField Devices

3 HMI

Screens: information, alarms, menu, diagram


Control the process for real time, interaction between user and CPU.
