ABSRACT: Main aim behind this project is to monitor and control the PLC based system using wireless technology.
In this project I am going to use a ZIGBEE and SCADA technology to get wireless automation system. Pair of
ZIGBEE is used here, among that one is connected with the PLC in the industry side and another one is connected with
PC in the control room. Data from the PLC side will be transferred continuously to PC via ZIGBEE by sending a bit of the process that occurs in the industry and it will be displayed in the SCADA software and also we can control industry by transmitting a bit again using ZIGBEE from PC side to PLC located at the industry side. Thus we can avoid the maintenance and cost of the long cables that are used to connect the PLC with a PC.

I. INTRODUCTION
In today’s world many of the industries are getting automated using PLC and thus it has become a main part of the industries. Continues monitoring and controlling of industries are required due to the large amount of production. PLC is a device which is connected with equipment in the industry and it will transfers the data to PC via long cables and a person seating in the control room on PC can monitor and control the industry. Cost and maintenance of the
