ELECTRO-PNEUMATICS
ELECTRO-PNEUMATICS
Electro-pneumatics is successfully used in many areas of industrial automation. Production, assembly and packaging systems worldwide are driven by electro-pneumatic control systems.
The change in
requirements together with technical advances has had a considerable impact on
the appearance of controls. In the signal control section, the relay has
increasingly been replaced by the programmable logic controller in order to
meet the growing demand for more flexibility. Modern electro-pneumatic controls
also implement new concepts in the power section to meet the needs of modern
industrial practice. Examples of this are the valve terminal, bus networking
and proportional pneumatics.
PNEUMATICS (PNEUMATIC SYSTEM)
PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
Fluid is that deforms continuously
on the application of shear stress, no matter how much small is it. Fluid
comprises both gases and liquid. The technique of using liquid for power
transmission is called as hydraulics, while which uses gases for power
transmission is called Pneumatics. In most hydraulics system mineral oils will
be used, while in most pneumatic system atmospheric air will be used.
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
Automation is a process in which an idea is implemented to reduce human effort in the overall process. It's widely used in industrial areas, as man power is applied more. so, in order to reduce the man power we're going for automation of work group.
Automation comes under different ways in the application point of you. some of them are like power station automation , substation automation, industrial automation, and so on. We can apply automation anywhere we needed depending up on the requirement, purpose and utilization of resource is to be done.
Automation have following advantages in any application:
- Low cost of operation
- Productivity increases
- production cost decreases
- overall capital cost will be low
- control is easy.
