Plastic Tank Temperature Control System Based on OPC Technology

Abstract

This paper analyzes the characteristics of the PLC and MATLAB, describes the OPC technology and introduces the system structures and procedures which uses the OPC technology to achieve the exchange of data between PLC and MATLAB system. For example, in the plastic tank temperature control system, it mentions the BP neural network PID control algorithm which is applied to the PLC control system by using the MATLAB intelligent controller. The results show that this control method is simple and the control effect is good, much better than the traditional PID control.
