The growth of industry, the development of industrial automation and process control technologies in the military, chemical, petrochemical, power plant, etc. industries show the need to pay attention to the position of industrial control engineering and automation.
Looking at the background of the control process, it can be seen that the category of control is not separate from the industry and has always led to the growth and increase of speed and efficiency of production processes.
Advances in control and measurement tools make these processes more advanced and complex. Although investing in industrial automation is costly, it also brings many economic and technological benefits as a result of the development of this industry.
Industrial automation as a multi-purpose tool solves issues such as product process control and financial problems through process management and monitoring. The use of advanced methods and various technologies leads to the optimal use of industries and product quality assurance.
Of course, this technological advancement is generally the result of the development of the following infrastructures:
The advantages of industrial automation that are always considered by control system designers include: increasing production volume and work efficiency, reducing costs, reducing the required workforce, improving quality, flexibility and optimal production, market product competition, control and He also mentioned the reduction of environmental pollution, reliability, high safety, etc.
The most common industrial automation equipment includes the following:
Capacitive sensors, magnetic sensors, optical detectors, counters, load cells, encoders and decoders, PLC, DCS, PLC, control modules, interface circuits of instrumentation equipment and control center, …
