Programmable automation is a form of automation for producing products in batches.
The paper deals with the design and implementation of chosen algorithm based on modern control theory into programmable automation controllers (PAC) used for tutorial purposes.
Three types of automation in production can be distinguished: (1) fixed automation, (2) programmable automation, and (3) flexible automation.
The disadvantage with programmable automation is the time required to reprogram and change over the production equipment for each batch of new product.
Production rates in programmable automation are generally lower than in fixed automation, because the equipment is designed to facilitate product changeover rather than for product specialization.
1. Edge Computing performs localized processing on the device using Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) [23], which can handle data processing, storage and communication [22].
Nowadays, a major part of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) vendors follows this standard, although each programming tool adds particularities and stores the automation project in different manner.
The concept of programmable people goes beyond these limited cases.
