What is Human Machine Interface (HMI) ?
Programmable logic controllers are built to input various signal types (discrete, analog), execute control algorithms on those signals, and then output signals in response to control processes. By itself, a…
Animation of Electromagnetic Relay
When a voltage is applied to the coil, a current passes through it and this creates a magnetic circuit which includes the core, armature and the yoke. The core attracts…
PLC Analog I/O and Network I/O
In the early days of programmable logic controllers, processor speed and memory were too limited to support anything but discrete (on/off) control functions. Consequently, the only I/O capability found on…
