Control loops define how machines react to changes and disturbances.
Understanding open, closed, cascade, feedforward, and ratio loops helps engineers design efficient and reliable automation systems.
The PLC panel and MCC panel must exchange critical interface signals—such as start, stop, run feedback, trip, local/remote, emergency switch, and speed—to ensure safe and reliable motor control. This structured communication allows PLCs to automate motor operations while MCC panels handle high-power switching and protection.
ESG is becoming a central part of industrial automation. By integrating environmental, social, and governance principles into PLC systems, factories can reduce energy waste, improve worker safety, and ensure compliance with global standards. With real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automated efficiency, ESG-driven automation not only protects the planet but also enhances long-term business value.
SCADA can operate without a PLC, but only for small or simple systems. While SCADA handles monitoring, alarms, and reports alone, PLCs improve speed, reliability, and local logic processing. Learn how SCADA-only setups work and when adding a PLC is crucial.
