2) One of the first steps when designing an automation system is to design the system architecture, organizing vital elements such as PLCs, field instruments and supervisory systems around the appropriate network. It is worth remembering that choosing the right architecture determines the success of the system and that each solution is unique, as it depends on the limitations of each project. Therefore, the design engineer must make a survey of the points to be verified for the design of the system. Explain these points.
3) It is known that the automation pyramid is composed of 5 levels, with level 1 being the lowest of the pyramid and level 5 the highest:
Level 1: Field instruments
Level 2: Control
Level 3: PC/HMI Supervision
Level 4: Plant Management
Level 5: Corporate Management
Based on this information and knowledge of industrial networks, cite examples of protocols applicable at each level.
