            Boiler requires continuous monitoring and inspection at frequent intervals. In the recent times, boiler has under gone long process of modification right from its conventional working principles to automation using technology in the form of DCS, PLC, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) etc. An automated system helps in improving their system efficiency, plant monitoring, and productivity. The boiler automation is performed using ON-OFF controller in labVIEW. Indicators placed on the panel it displays the status of sensors and actuators used in the automation of the plant. Simulation provides a good understanding and better visual idea about the real-time performance of boiler, investigates complex operations and control through LabVIEW.
