Lets have a quick comparison of some of the
important attributes concerning industrial and building automation:
|
Feature
|
Building Automation
|
Industrial Automation
|
|
Products/System Cost
|
Very price sensitive
|
Expensive, More
difficult, more demanding in terms of speed and accuracy
|
|
Product Fault-Immunity
|
Not much built-in
beyond retention of controller memory
|
Lots of built-in
features to deal with power and other controller/
system failures |
|
Design &
Installation Approach
|
Typically a lower
priority issue in comparison to many other design/construction disciplines
|
Typically a top
priority given that it is the “heart” of the plant
|
|
Ease of Programming and
Operator Interface
|
Designed for ease of
use vs. ultimate flexibility
|
Designed for
flexibility over ease of use
|
|
Communication Protocol
|
BACNET etc
|
EtherNet/IP,
Modbus/Profibus are generally the communication protocol
|
|
Information of
performance data
|
Integration is a must
|
Not so required
everytime
|
It is not wise to go with industrial automation
approach in complex building projects. It usually leads to problems which are
generally due to technical and business practical gaps and this makes this
approach not-feasible.
In Industrial Automation, there is a study of
PLC-SCADA, HMI, Motors and Drives, Industrial Networking, Wireless Networks,
DCS, Panel Design, AutoCAD and Process Instrumentation.
In Building Automation, there is a study of HVAC
Control, Fire Detection and Alarm System, Access Control System and CCTV
Surveillance System, Public Address System, Gas Suppression System.
