Design of SCADA System for Stainless Steel Pipe Production Line

In view of the insufficient informationization of the stainless steel pipe production line, such as the inability to collect the machine tool's processing data in real time, the inaccurate production information feedback, and the insufficient monitoring of the equipment status, a SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system is designed to effectively control and monitor the entire stainless steel pipe production line to achieve the information construction of the factory. Siemens S7-1500 series PLC is used as the lower computer of this system, and communicates with the upper computer software through Siemens S7 protocol. The SCADA system is developed in C# language, and its functions include equipment status monitoring, production process monitoring, production statistical analysis and electronic board display. The SCADA system can realize the automation of data collection, data processing and data analysis, which improves the production efficiency and management level of the production line.
