Yokogawa Electric provides industrial-grade power supplies and batteries tailored for seamless operation within its automation systems. Here's a detailed breakdown of their roles in industrial automation:
Yokogawa Electric Power Supplies:
Function:
These power supplies deliver stable and regulated DC voltage to various instruments and devices within industrial automation control system cabinets, ensuring consistent and reliable operation of key equipment like Yokogawa Electric controllers, sensors, and transmitters.
Types:
- AC Input Power Supplies: Convert standard AC line voltages (e.g., 120VAC or 240VAC) into the DC voltage required for Yokogawa Electric equipment.
- DC Input Power Supplies: Regulate existing DC power sources for Yokogawa Electric equipment applications.
- Redundant Power Supplies: Enhance system reliability by automatically taking over if the primary power source fails.
Yokogawa Electric Industrial-Grade Battery Packs:
Function:
These battery packs serve as backup power sources within Yokogawa's automation systems, providing temporary DC power to critical control system components during power outages or ensuring essential functions continue until main power is restored.
Types:
- Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) Battery Packs: Common and cost-effective, offering reliable performance and longer lifespans in industrial applications.
- Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Battery Packs: Provide higher energy density and longer discharge times, albeit with potentially higher initial costs and specific handling requirements.
