General Requirement For Motor Installation

Electric motor is the common application equipment in domestic or industry.If we have a knowledge and good guideline how to selected and install with proper way,It’s can smooth our installation project progress without any problem.

Motor selection and method of installation must suitable with our application to avoid any problem or design error.That why before installation we need have a design review with Electrical & Mechanical Engineer.This time I want share some information about requirement for motor installation that I hope it can gave some basic guideline how to handle motor installation project. read more

How to setup Alfa Laval Think Top Auto Valve?

Alfa Laval Think Top is a control of sanitary valves that commonly used for hygiene or chemical manufactures.Think Top Basic offers a durable watertight design, a proven and inherently safe design and low total cost of ownership.

In my plant,all auto valves are using Alfa Laval Think Top that provide easy installation and configuration.This valve sensing and control head is optimized with fewer options and fewer digital connections. Think Top Basic is available in Digital, AS-Interface and ATEX versions.The ThinkTop Basic sensing and control unit is a uniform modular control head that consists of a proven no-touch, set-and-forget sensor system with light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solenoid valves and valve control sensor board for connection to any PLC (Programming Logic Controller) system.

Relay Characteristics

Relay manufactures design them for special applications to full fill industries needed and coupe with advanced technologies. This time i want share information about relays characteristics most often used in typical automation and instrumentation work.

As i explained in my last posted,basically principal for small DC and AC relays,sensitive relays, miniature and sealed relays, and some small power relays is common.

To get a suitable relay for our application,we should understand about basic relay characteristic and general specification about operation and relay design because manufacture designs many types of relay for different application.

Types of Relay

In automation industries,relay is a common device used for control application.Basic operation of  electrical relay is a device that changes the state of a circuit in response to it being energized or de-energized by that or another circuit.

It function to open or close the circuit or contact and respond depend on signal that we gave it to the magnetic coil.It have normally open and normally close contact that we can choose when design the control circuit for our application.

For generally understanding,relay also may consider as a amplifier and controller.It only a small device in automation circuit but it have important roles to make our system running accordingly. read more

Equipment for PLC programming

Now in automation industry,the common practice for programming the PLC is using a desktop or laptop.It easy to handle and more comfortable when perform the design or troubleshooting job.

PLC manufacture also in advance to produce a user friendly PLC software in market today.It made our programming task more easy and can get the best result and design for our project.Everybody can learn about PLC programming because it easy to understand and have many option functions for design,programming and fault finding task.

To ensure PLC programming done properly,we should prepare all equipment or tools for programming matter is available and working in good condition.

Relays

Relays have a wide range of application in industry.Even with the advent of electronic control such as PLC and other solid state devices such as thyristors,the electromechanical relay still retain a high level of acceptance.

We can found relay in every where such as control panel,equipment and machinery.It is common use for automation and motor control application.

The reason for this is that for simple types of control,relay offer a cost effective solution.They are available in a large range of configurations from small of only 10mm in length with multiple contact pair for data communication,to large relay called contactor for carrying heavy current loads in applications such as switching 3 phase motors. read more
