Industrial Automation and Controls

1. What are the Core Components of Industrial Automation Products?

1）Controller

PLC (Programmable Logic Controller): As the "brain" of the industrial automation system, PLC implements logical operations, data processing and equipment communication through programming, replacing the traditional relay system, and has high reliability, flexibility and scalability.

Intelligent controller: Supports complex algorithms and multi-device collaborative control, and is widely used in production lines, energy management and other scenarios.

2）Sensors and actuators

Sensors: Including temperature, pressure, photoelectric and other types, used to monitor physical quantities in real time and convert them into electrical signals to provide data input for the system.

Electric actuator: Drive mechanical movement through electric motors to achieve precise control of equipment such as valves and conveyor belts, support remote operation, and automated processes.

3）Auxiliary components

Circuit breakers and relays: Ensure circuit safety, and achieve signal isolation and load control.

Inverter and servo system: Used for motor speed regulation and precision motion control to improve production efficiency and energy consumption management.
