Redundancy in industrial automation refers to the use of backup or standby systems. These systems automatically take control when the main system experiences a fault or failure. This approach ensures continuous operation and prevents expensive …
The human-machine interface (HMI), is a key part of modern technology. It acts as a bridge between people and the automated systems they use. HMIs enable smooth communication between humans and machines. They help operators …
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing field. It has changed the landscape of engineering in many significant ways. IoT refers to a vast network of physical devices, often called “things,”. The latter …
A Variable Frequency Inverter (VFI), also called a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), is a device that controls how fast an AC motor runs. It does this by changing the frequency and voltage of the electricity …
In modern industrial automation, systems have evolved to handle complex processes with high efficiency and reliability. Among the most advanced solutions is the Distributed Control System (DCS). It enables operators to manage, monitor, and control …
Industrial automation uses control systems, software, and machines to perform industrial processes with little human help. This technology has changed manufacturing and production by improving efficiency, safety, and product quality. Automation reduces human error, increases …
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), are the heart of modern automation. They control machines, manage processes, and keep factories running smoothly. One of the most important parts of a PLC system is the input module. Without …
In industrial automation, SCADA, HMI, and PLC are fundamental concepts that engineers, technicians, and operators encounter on a daily basis. Even though these three terms are often mentioned together and sometimes mistakenly used interchangeably, they …
In modern automation, machines rarely operate passively, they need to move, react, and control their environment efficiently. Whether it’s regulating the flow of liquids or gases, an essential component manages this task with precision and …
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a specialized digital industrial computer. It has been designed and ruggedized to reliably handle automation and control tasks in industrial environments where dust, vibration, heat, and electrical noise are …
