The automation of the factory is composed of a series of industrial control products, each of which bears a different division of labor, which is indispensable. Let's take a closer look at the industrial control products that are indispensable for automation. There are embedded industrial computers and PLCs, robots, servo motors, sensors, industrial cameras, automation software, etc.
● Industrial computer and PLC: PLC, Programmable Logic Controller (Programmable Logic Controller), mostly used to store some fixed instructions, and control various types of machinery or production processes through digital or analog input/output. Industrial Personal Computer (IndustrialPersonal Computer) is a general term for tools that use a bus structure to detect and control the production process, electromechanical equipment, and process equipment. It has better performance than PLC, more executable content and more friendly man-machine interface.
● Robot: A robot not only refers to a machine that completely executes automatic instructions, but also includes a machine that automatically executes a single instruction. It generally executes a preset program to assist or replace human work.
● Servo motor: Servomotor refers to the engine, which is a kind of indirect variable speed device for auxiliary motor. The servo motor can control the speed and position accuracy very accurately, and can convert the voltage signal into torque and speed to drive the control object.
● Sensor: A sensor (transducer/sensor) is a detection device that can detect the corresponding information and send it to the control center after processing.
● Industrial cameras: Industrial cameras can be used to collect image information of products on the assembly line. The image system performs various operations on these signals to extract the characteristics of the target, and then controls the actions of the equipment on the spot according to the results of the discrimination.
● Automation software: Automation software is a general control system that can automatically monitor production for a long time without being supervised, and obtain effective information and data from it, providing powerful evaluation for supervisory managers refer to.
