Introduction: What Is Actuator : In industrial control systems, an actuator is a hardware device that converts a controller command signal into a change in a physical parameter. The change in the physical parameter is usually mechanical, such as a position or velocity change. An actuator is a transducer, because it changes one type of …
Introduction: A wide variety of sensors are available for collecting data from the manufacturing process for use in feedback control. A sensor is a transducer, which is a device that converts a physical variable of one form into another form that is more useful for the given application. In particular, a sensor is a device …
Table of Contents Introduction: Modern manufacturing systems are advanced automation systems. The numerical control (NC) and computer numerical control (CNC) machines are an integral part of the automation systems. CNC machining is capable of meeting the tightest tolerances, and producing the most accurate, precise products over and over again. Machining: Process of removing metal with …
SCADA Introduction : What Is SCADA: SCADA stand for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. SCADA generally refers to an industrial computer system that monitors and controls a process. In the case of the transmission and distribution elements of electrical utilities, SCADA will monitor substations, transformers and other electrical assets. SCADA refers to a system that collects data from various sensors at …
Introduction: Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept which enables communication between internetworking devices and applications, whereby physical objects or ‘things’ communicate through the Internet. The concept of IoT began. with things classified as identity communication devices. Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) is an example of an identity communication device. Things are tagged to these …
What Is HMI : HMI is stand for human machine interface is the main part of industrial automation. the HMI allows human to interface and control the machine and industrial automation system. simple word say that HMI connects human to the machines. in simple term HMI is touchscreen & display there operator see the machine …
History Of Robot: History Robot comes from the Czech word “robota”, that means tireless work. When did robots, as we know them today, come into existence? 1)The first modern industrial robots, called Unimates, were developed by George Devol and Joe Engelberger in the late 50’s and early 60’s. 2)The first robot patents were by Devol …
The Programable Logic Controller: A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a heart of control system. plc special form of microprocessor-based controller that uses a programmable memory to store instructions and to implement functions such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic in order to control machines and processes and are designed to be operated by …
What is Industrial Automation: Automation can be defined as the technology by which a process or procedure is accomplished without human assistance. It is implemented using a program of instructions combined with a control system that executes the instruction To automate a process, power is required, both to drive the process itself and to operate …
