Implementing PID Control on PLC Benchmark to Enhance Industrial Automation Skills Towards ASEAN FACTORI 4.0

The “Asean Factori 4.0” project under Erasmus+ programme CBHE supported the PLC training and benchmark to the Center of Excellence in Intelligent Control Automation of Process Systems (ICAPS) at Chulalongkorn University (CU). Various PLC projects including PID-type feedback control loop that would be utilized as an in-class tool to enhance understanding of PID principle and effects of tuning parameters on the process was programmed using the CODESYS software with Visualization. The PLC projects were executed on the PLC benchmark with visualization on an HMI display designed by the GALILEO software. The curriculum modification to include Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and PLC as well as conducting seminars on PLC by ICAPS guarantees sustainability of the “Asean Factori 4.0” project.
