Types of Encoders Used in Servo Motors

A Servo motor is an electric motor used in a servomechanism, which means to automate a mechanical movement with a closed-loop control circuit, unlike the stepper motor, which follows an open-loop control mechanism. A servomechanism comprises a servo amplifier (servo driver), encoder, controller, and servo motor. Servomechanisms can be found in various industrial applications, including […]

How PLCs Work With Solenoid Valves

Solenoid valves are an essential part of almost every fluid control system. These electromechanical valves automatically control the flow of liquids and gases. The solenoid valve may work with different circuits to achieve the desired control, ensuring control precision and versatility. It also eliminates the hassle for an engineer to operate the valve physically. That saves […]

Why do you Need a Separate Power Supply for Your PLC?

PLCs are general-purpose, microprocessor-based controllers which provide logic, counting, analog, and timing control enhanced with a variety of network communications capabilities. It is mainly used in industrial computing systems to control manufacturing processes, assembly lines, and other industrial automation equipment that require a highly reliable control and fault diagnosis method. A PLC system consists of […]

Analog PLCs: Voltage vs Current

            Programable logic controllers (PLC) are devices known to be completely digital, and, usually, digital devices are very easy to understand in the electrical side of things, they work with binary language, 1 and 0, true and false, reference voltage and ground, and this is true even today. But then, how do they have the […]

What is a Real Time Clock (RTC) in a PLC?

Real-time clocks (RTC) are not clocks like the one on your nightstand that automatically changes time as the season changes from standard time to daylight savings. Those work with a radio receiver inside the casing tuned to the national time observatory that measures light frequency from a very stable and accurate source to keep us […]
