In the era of advanced technology, BSNL's power systems demand cutting-edge solutions for efficient and intelligent management. The integration of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) panels with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems is a strategic move to elevate power system automation, optimize operations, and ensure robust performance.

Components:

PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): The PLC is the core hardware component responsible for real-time control and automation of processes within the power system.
Input/Output Modules (I/O Modules): The PLC is the core hardware component responsible for real-time control and automation of processes within the power system.
Input/Output Modules (I/O Modules): I/O modules interface with the physical processes or equipment in the power system, providing the PLC with input data (sensors, switches) and allowing it to output control signals to actuators, relays, and other devices.
Contactors/Switching Devices: Contactors or switching devices control the connection and disconnection of capacitors within the capacitor bank. They are activated based on signals from the power factor controller to adjust the reactive power as needed.
PLC Programming Software: This software is used to program the logic and functionality of the PLC. It allows engineers and operators to create, modify, and troubleshoot the control algorithms that govern the behavior of the power system.
