![]() Learn more about designing an automation control system from the “Automation Control System Specification, Design and Installation” article in this publication on. Some examples are Emergency Stop pushbuttons, enclosures with locking mechanisms or with Lockout/Tagout hardware Safety Devices: Ensure personnel/equipment safety to protect lives and equipment damage.Relays and Timers: Provide simple control or power conversion for many automation systems.These include switches, pushbuttons, indicators, stack lights and audible signaling. Pilot Devices: Provide ON/OFF controls, system selectable options, status indication, and more.Examples include gearboxes, servo and stepper systems. Motion Control Devices: Control systems with accurate position/velocity/torque capabilities operating in open or closed loop modes.Operator Displays: Includes HMIs and industrial monitors used to display system conditions and can provide functions like turning a device ON or OFF.Drives: Control motor speed, torque and direction.Communication Devices: Ethernet switches, gateways, VPN routers, and serial communication devices that provide communication between components and devices.Motor Control: Provide electrical control for motors via a soft starter, variable frequency drive, motor starter, motor disconnects, or contactors.Process Control and Measurement: Controllers or sensors that continuously monitor changing variable data and may use it to control devices in a system.Examples include PLCs, Field I/O, and PC-based Control. Control and I/O Devices: Provide automation functions as needed for an application.Circuit Protection: Protect electrical components and/or devices via ON/OFF controllers, disconnects, circuit breakers and fuses.Cables: Facilitate communication and control signals (i.e., cables for encoders, sensors, monitors, drives, solenoid valves, motion control, PLCs, HMI, PCs and more).Electrical Power Devices: Such as transformers, power monitors, panel meters, power distribution blocks, power supplies, surge protectors, and power line filters.Wiring/Accessories: These include wires, terminal blocks, connectors, glands, conduit, wire ducts, and cable ties. ![]()
