Innovative SCADA-Based Oil Refinery Control with Arduino Integration Using Labview
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
In various industrial settings, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Programmable Logic Control (PLC) systems are commonly employed for control purposes, such as in water treatment facilities, electric power stations, and irrigation systems. However, the oil and gas refinery sector typically relies on Distributed Control Systems (DCS) to manage a wide array of process and equipment control functions. This project departs from the conventional reliance on DCS and explores the utilization of a SCADA system, both with and without Arduino integration, to oversee and regulate oil levels within a tank that serves as a representation of a refinery. The project introduces the design and detailed implementation of a real-world SCADA system developed in LABVIEW. Effective solutions encompass automation and monitoring architectures that encompass several components, including a real-time supervision and control system, programmable logic controllers equipped with fundamental libraries, communication systems, standard or custom interfaces interfacing with sensors, electrical drive components, measuring instruments, and more. Leveraging informatics systems offers the potential to proactively prevent various phenomena through data analysis and processing, ultimately leading to optimized operations and significant cost savings. Consequently, this project introduces a SCADA system tailored for the monitoring and control of water distribution stations. This system is designed to ensure the efficient operation of pumping systems, enhance equipment and infrastructure safety and resilience, optimize energy consumption, and efficiently manage the distribution of potable water resources. The project relies on LabVIEW, a graphical programming language utilizing a dataflow model, for programming, control, and monitoring of a simulated water system. Additionally, rain sensors are employed to detect water levels within predefined minimum and maximum thresholds. Moreover, LabVIEW is utilized for programming the Arduino UNO microcontroller board, which serves as an interface between the software and other circuit components. The results of this project demonstrate high-performance levels and the attainment of precise measurements.
