Trends in Instrumentation and Control Engineering
End users facing globalisation are driving plant performance at a level that would
be inconceivable without modern process control engineering systems and
business processes.
The demand for Instrumentation and Control (IC) technicians, is on the rise in
Australia.
The field instruments measure physical parameters like level, temperature, flow
pressure, etc provide input to the process control system. The field instruments
are widely used in a process control and automation.
The data acquired by field sensors in real-time are stored in PLC/ SCADA/ DCS
control system database and is analysed and manipulated to control the process
variables to the desired set points.
In Oil and Gas facilities, Mineral processing, Food, and Chemical Processing
industry, the field sensors data is stored and analysed in PLC/ SCADA/ DCS
control system, and provides real time:
a) triggers the signal to cut off feed in Power from Roof Top solar; and
b) kick off the spinning reserve generator reducing the time lag that would
have experienced without shutting off PV Solar.
Refer case study dated 14th March 2021 in South Australia where a grid-
connect PV was switched off by energy authorities to stabilise the electricity
grid. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-17/solar-panels-switched-off-in-

(SCADA):
HMI and SCADA technologies for process control automation help to
achieve business goals for improved facilities utilisation, productivity,
product quality, availability, protection, flexibility, and speed.
