Automação na praça de máquinas

Abstract

The development of technology came to facilitate jobs that required time and effort. Through it there have been and there are improvements to a faster and safer service. The technological advance has hit all kinds of industries, including the naval industr y which is a very important economic factor for every country. The need to increase the effectiveness of controls for appliances and machines in general gave rise to the creation of automation. Automation has as benefits to any process efficiency, safety, lower cost, greater production etc. With this the emergence of programmable logic controllers has caused many of these goals to be achieved, with the use of PLCs it is possible to perform functions that indicate their own failure as well as machine or proc ess failures. The use of the PLCs in the engine room has as main objective to facilitate the services and maintenance of the equipment on board for the personnel of machines aiming at the increase of the safety of these,therefore this technology must be un derstood so that there are more and more good results of services .This work aims to explain this importance of onboard automation.
