An industrial SCADA system and PLC are the heart of automatic control of the metro rail systems (machinery). The SCADA system controls any complex process, monitors and collects information from the process, and hands it to a central site. The corresponding operator interface or HMI takes an alarm for necessary failure. In this paper, a simulated prototype of an automated metro rail system operator is designed to monitor and control metro rail systems based on PLC and SCADA. The entire simulated operation involves operational control center (OCC), traction SCADA system, power supply system, and traction power control. The traction SCADA system is used for providing effective monitoring control of the metro rail system. Metro rail system has installed infrastructure based on the SCADA from power supply system and traction power control in each station that is remotely connected to the OCC. It has control over each station and possesses the highest command priority. In case of emergency or congestion happened in the system is the alarm. OCC controls the various modes and helps design a system that can be tuned to prevent the failures arising in the traction system. The system provides improved safety and efficiency, optimal anticipatory response, and reduced labor cost.
