In summary, PLC programming languages are basically of two types: Textual languages and Graphical languages. There are 5 programming languages under those categories:1. Structured Text (ST)2. Instruction List (IL)3. Ladder Diagram (LD)4. Function Block Diagram (FBD)5. Sequential Function Chart (SFC) The first 2 are Textual languages and the other 3 are Graphical languages.Now,

While in a learning phase of ladder logic we usually don't have PLC programming software to test our logic made in paper or even you don't have a PLC software for your testing and reference. In that case, you can use some free PLC simulator which are available online. There is some site which provides students and trainer free PLC simulating software.

In industrial automation, we install and program many servo motors and drive in industries every day and so sometimes it becomes very problematic to set each and every drive with the display panel. So to make this an easy process, you can also use servo drive software to make changes or set new parameters through your laptops. Today let me tell you about CX drive, which is Omron product and by

Encoder comes with a specified PPR i.e pulse per Revolution and Maximum Frequency output of the pulses given by encoder. Generally, encoders are mounted on the shaft of the conveyor, so according to the resulting RPM we should select the encoder with a proper PPR and output frequency. How to Find PPR and Maximum Frequency of Encoder The encoder is interfaced with the PLC for counting the

Variable Frequency Drive or VFD is a power electronics device which has revolutionized the Electrical Industry. VFD have made possible the speed and frequency control of the AC Motor. VFD gives a load of other advantages other than speed control. VFD is the best starting method for AC Motor. Also, the energy saving feature in drive makes an added advantage for saving the electricity and thus

In the past few topics of AC Motor basics we have seen about general motor terms, different types of motor load and the Calculation of Synchronous speed from Poles. We all frequently use term called Torque in our day to day work life. But, do we really know the actual meaning of "Torque". We got many request from our readers to explain the term torque in simple words. So get a cup of coffee and

We have discussed about the servo basics and servo control terminology in the previous article. We have studied about the different components of a servo control. Today in this post we will see that what are the advantages that we get by using the servo motor over the AC Induction motor. This article is in continuation to the previous one and here we will learn more about servo control.

AC Induction Motors are the heart of any type of Industries, for any work you require a Motor to do the work. Hence there must not be any issue in calling "AC Motors" as the heart of Industrial applications. Specification of an AC Motor includes its Capacity i.e Rating of the Motor, its Frame Size, Rated Voltage and Current, Frequency, and its scale of Insulation. But, how many of us know

Choosing a PLC or Controller for your Process is very important as it helps in cost optimization. If you choose a wrong PLC it may happen that you are out of I/O's while programming or maybe you have the excess of I/O's left which are of no use. So it becomes very important that you choose a right PLC for your Automation Process.There are several criteria that help in choosing a PLC. Before

Many new Automation Engineers are in confusion that what is the difference between Absolute and Incremental Encoder while they work on Encoder. And every Automation Engineer has its own View in defining absolute encoder and incremental encoder. First of all, we should know what is an Encoder, What are types of Encoder, what does Encoder do, How to program an absolute encoder or incremental

Nowadays almost all the laptops are not having any serial ports on them. This, in fact, creates a lot of problems for all Automation and electronics engineers as daily we guys have to communicate with external devices over serial communication. Many options are available in the market through which we can convert USB Port on our PC/Laptop to Serial/RS485 port. But we should take utmost care while

"Auto Mains Failure System" is Employed for Auto startup of the DG when the mains supply fails. This is a very common system and is the first step in DG synchronization. Here we will see that what is the basic concept in AMF? What hardware is required to set up AMF and how PLC Programming is done. First of all let us understand what is AMF? Generally, all the major industries/companies/

Designing any electrical machine or its control panel involves proper planning, designing and commissioning. All these steps are very important for effective working of the machine and operation through it. Machine Planning is very important in the designing of the machine as it decides the future of production through it. In the planning process of Electrical machine control panel, it involves

While selecting the AC motor for an application, we always first lookout that what type of load will be driven by AC Motor i.e. constant Torque load or variable torque load. Almost all of the automation and plc engineers must have seen all such type of loads. Also while selecting the VFD for an AC motor we have to select the VFD according to the Load type. But do we actually know what this load

In the last section we studied about some of the frequently used motor electrical parameters in our day to day work. We have already understood about the different types of AMPS rating that a motor nameplate have, in this post we will try to understand about the design of motor that is what type of torque and speed curve motor have, we will also look in to efficiency, frame size, and frequency.

Motion Controllers and Servo drives are used in machines for the better controlling and accurate positioning purpose. The one thing which we should keep in mind while installing the motion control panel is to have a safe and healthy environment for the Servo Drive and Motor operation i.e the environment should be free from any Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). EMI can dramatically reduce the
