Sinking vs Sourcing in PLC: Choosing the Best IO Connection for Industrial Automation
- 〡 by WUPAMBO
In industrial automation, correct IO wiring is essential for reliable PLC operation. Sinking and sourcing define voltage flow to field devices relative to PLC common. Choosing the right type ensures accurate digital IO signals and prevents false readings. These rules are key for engineers using PLC, DCS, or factory automation systems.
Types of Failures in Industrial Automation Systems and How to Prevent Them
- 〡 by WUPAMBO
In industrial automation, failures can affect production efficiency, reliability, and safety. They may result from human error, hardware faults, or aging systems. Understanding each failure helps engineers build resilient PLC, DCS, and control systems, while preventive maintenance reduces downtime and improves performance.
ESG and Industrial Automation: How PLC Systems Drive Sustainable Factory Management
- 〡 by WUPAMBO
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) helps companies operate responsibly and meet global standards. In industrial automation, ESG is key as factories use PLC and DCS systems to optimize production, reduce environmental impact, save resources, comply with climate regulations, and ensure worker safety with real-time monitoring.
