The biggest advantage in using a software drafting program to create schematics, panel layouts, bill of materials and wiring diagrams is the ability to re-use the work for future electrical control system designs. The drafting software can also be used to create our sequence of operation, flowchart or timing diagram.

Industrial Automation is a discipline that includes knowledge and expertise from various branches of engineering including electrical, electronics, chemical, mechanical, communications and more recently computer and software engineering. Automation & Control by its very nature demands a cross fertilization of these faculties.

In addition to the actual control function, digital controllers offer a number of other functions. 2.6.1 Remote control and logical operations The operating modes can be controlled remotely and important parameters set via binary inputs. The interventions are reported back via additional analogue and binary outputs.
Three key points: Improvements in quality (improved repeatability and increased precision) Reduction in human intervention (redeploy personnel or allow more to be done for similar manual input). Because the underlying technology requires it (speed of response or complexity difficult for a human to provide). Example – Storage Tank Farm Valve ...

These days when we hear "automation technology" we immediately think of industrial robots and computer controllers. In fact, automation technology in craft and industry began much earlier with the utilisation of the steam engine by James Watt in 1769. For the first time, a machine could replace manpower or horsepower.
