The hardware used for automating this process consists of embedded platforms (Arduino and Raspberry Pi) integrated into programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which are connected to a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system implemented with an open source Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform. The main purpose of the proposed approach is to evaluate low-cost automation solutions (hardware and software) within the framework of modern industry requirements in order to determine whether these technologies could be enabling factors of IIoT. The proposed control strategy for regulating tank levels combines the classic PID algorithm and the fuzzy gain scheduling PID (FGS-PID) approach. Fault detection capabilities are also enabled for the system through a fault detection...
Open Source SCADA System for Advanced Monitoring of Industrial Processes

Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems provide a reference frame for integrating the majority of entities of an automation process by using computers to control production systems. Integrating a fully operational CIM system implies high costs of licenses of specialized automation software, which limits its penetration to low and medium size industries. This paper presents the development of an open source supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system by using the general purpose programming platform, Python. The SCADA system offers communication capabilities through an open source OPC-UA server, which solves data exchange with control devices such as PLC, PAC, etc. The system also provides fault-tolerance features thanks to the implementation of an active fault tolerant control (AFTC) architecture. The proposed approach performs a three-layer interaction of th...
