Implementation, remote control, and monitoring of a building automation system using PLC and SCADA

Building automation systems are inevitable in every building in order to make life easier, decrease work load, and create safer and higher quality environments. Today's automation technology generally makes use of computer enhanced automation. PLC and SCADA Systems are the most commonly preferred systems. With the developments and technology, various equipment and procedures are found to be in use in this field. In the present study, a system has been implemented in order to monitor and remotely control the parameters of a building automation system and to gather data. The system is a PLC and SCADA based system. The proposed system was applied in Namık Kemal University Vocational School of Technical Sciences Control and Automation Technology Laboratory. Also, this model system was designed as teaching material and its success was evaluated through a questionnaire.
