Abstract :
Manufacturers are continuing to do their best efforts for cost effective production systems in order to contribute consumers´ requirement. Such environment carries plant operations using quite flexible control systems such as PC (personal computer) - PLC (programmable logic controller) combination control systems called PC+PLC based control system. However, almost PC+PLC based control systems has been applied for small to medium scale processes which have the hundreds I/O points or less. We have jointly developed the new large-scale application systems in applying PC+PLC based control systems for beer brewing plants. Through those projects we come to the practical and effective PC+PLC based control systems´ application for quite large-scale processes with enough production performance and flexible operations
