Automation technology in the industry takes an increasingly dominant position due to automation of processes, an area whose importance is constantly rising. This happens in everyday applications in production and in the instruction.

Today, automation technology is almost always linked to the drive technology, control and information technology. Due to the rapid development of technology and micro computers, automation technology has become the most innovative and highest life of electrotechnology. This is to add the new industrial solutions, such as decentralization and visualization, require new systems of instruction. Moreover, through the standard IEC1131-3, valid worldwide, the discrepancy was eliminated in software products, which hitherto depended particular manufacturer. Read the rest of this entry »

Because people need the senses to perceive what is happening in their environment, automated systems require transducers to acquire information:
-The variation of certain physical quantities of the system.
-The physical state of its components

The devices responsible for converting the physical quantities to electrical quantities are called transducers.

The transducers can be classified according to the type of signal transmitted:   Read the rest of this entry »

Automation is a system which transfers production tasks, usually performed by a human operator to a set of technological elements.

An automated system consists of two main parts:

Part of Command
Party Operations

The operative part is the part that acts directly on the machine. These are the elements that make the machine move and perform the desired operation. The elements that form the actuators are operational of machines such as motors, cylinders, compressors and .. photodiodes as sensors, limit switches …   Read the rest of this entry »
