The primary role of pressure sensors is to make sure the pressure in a pneumatic or hydraulic system is always maintained at the correct level, or at least kept within an optimum range.

The Role Of Sensors In Pneumatic Systems

Cables are a vital component of your control panel, as they convey precise operating instructions to the various applications in your automated system. They provide the conduit for constant communication between control devices and sensors.

How To Choose The Right Size Cable For Control Panels

PROFIBUS is a contraction of Process Field Bus, a common type of industrial communication protocol.

What Is PROFIBUS?

Industrial pneumatic systems rely on two important parameters when specifying pipes and hoses: pressure and flow. Both of these are directly related to pipe diameter, and a number of complex equations have been worked out for calculating the relationship between them.

How Does Hose Diameter Affect Air Flow In Pneumatic Systems?

Valves are crucial to many industrial applications. They control, direct and regulate the flow of various substances through a network of passages by opening, closing or partially blocking these pathways. You’ll find valves in most industrial sectors, handling different types of gases and fluids.

What Are The Most Common Types Of Valves?

Factory automation is rapidly transforming industries worldwide, marking a new era of efficiency, precision, and innovation. As we advance deeper into Industry 4.0, the integration of advanced automation technologies has become a cornerstone of modern manufacturing.

The Optoelectronics Behind Factory Automation

Understanding and improving scan time is vital for your PLC so that you can be sure it’s operating efficiently and effectively. Scan time in this context refers to the time it takes your PLC to assess and process all incoming and outgoing data.

How To Optimise PLC Scan Time

Control panels have become a key feature in automation over the last few decades and are of great benefit to the industry. They make your facility easier to run, achieve better performance and are more cost-effective.

Maintenance Tips For Industrial Control Panels

Valve standards fall into three main categories depending on whether they are established by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), the American Petroleum Institute (API) or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

What Are ANSI Specification Valves?

Although many of us are still getting to grips with Industry 4.0 – or the Fourth Industrial Revolution – a new term is already appearing. Industry 5.0 isn’t introducing any radical new form of technology, as happened in previous industrial revolutions.
