Remote Data Acquisition Using Cloud Database

Abstract

The presented paper deals with the design and implementation of a complex SCADA system for the control of a production line model and for the remote data acquisition using cloud database. The control of the educational model of the production line is based on a PLC device using the visualization application of the production process in real time and recording of process data in a cloud database. The main components of SCADA systems used in control processes, advanced software for creating SCADA applications and basic information about cloud databases are also defined. It is described the design and implementation of the control program in the TIA Portal environment and the design of the visualization application in the Promotic environment. The form of a cloud solution based on the Microsoft Azure platform for the needs of process data storage is presented.
