In this blog, we typically focus on sensor products that make automated processes more accurate, more reliable and more efficient. These sensors come in a wide variety of different configurations, and they have applications in everything from food processing to vehicle manufacturing. +more

Industrial control computer called IPC, different from a business computer, IPC is an enhanced version of the personal computer. The main function of the production process and mechanical equipment, process equipment to detect and control. IPC bus structure, configure the computer CPU, hard disk, memory, peripherals and interfaces, and a specific operating system, network and protocol control, computing power, user-friendly interface.+more

Facilitating voltage conversion, from single phase to three phase, is a common issue in locations where three phase power is unavailable, severely lacking or too costly to introduce from the supply line. As a solution, businesses may use a device that converts a two-line, single-phase AC source to three-line, three-phase power. The two options that will be explored in this article include phase converter and variable frequency drive (VFD or inverter).+more

MAXON companies said they have redesigned the EPOS 4 modules, and to their ability to impart a more powerful, better control performance and additional features. The new position of the controller will increase the voltage to 50V range and efficiency to 98%, it is now able to control brush or brushless DC motor 750W continuous power and 1500W peak power.+more

Control refers to a process, the machine, the status of operations and process a job or equipment or process parameters according to a predetermined rule of operation. There are three types of control, connection control of the former, the latter for process control; the latter is the main object of study, including boot time process control and flow control procedures guidance.+more

There are literally dozens of types of valve actuators and valves. Wherever there is a valve, there must be a means to operate it. There are a range of options to do this that include gears, levers, and hand wheels. But valve actuators are one of more preferred choices for operating valves as they can be automated in order to eliminate the need for direct human interactions. Such remote and automatic operation is of particular importance in emergency-like scenarios where their shutdown mechanisms can reduce the need for human involvement in dangerous situations.+more

Human Machine Interface is a tool that allows humans to communicate with machines on a basic level. To conduct this communication there’s an input and output. These things could be as simple as the keyboard you use to type information into your computer or as complicated as a control panel for an autimation system. What are the basics of Human Machine Interface?+more

The following is an excerpt from “Understanding Variable Frequency Drives and Appropriate Applications,” a whitepaper by Steve Bruno, product marketing manager, oil-injected screw compressors 30kW -90kW. This is part I of a new series on how variable frequency drives work and how they are used in common air compressor applications.+more
