The industrial automation market has been evolving over the years taking advantage of powerful new technologies in processing power, advanced electronics, communication and networking, and software development environments. System requirements have also advanced in line with technology developments employing these to best serve the system requirements.

Automation engineers start by specifying system requirements for their projects. The system architecture depends on System requirements and details. System details includes:  Orientation of the system, data gathering or process, Centralization – plant or control center, Process Concentration on events and or state, Event & Alarm processing, Parallelism & distribution.

Utilizing NI’s Programmable Automation Platform PAC, that includes Real-Time controllers and Field Programmable Gate Array FPGA, and one common development environment for Graphical Programming, Technology Integration offers a comprehensive architecture that can be customized to any client requirements.
