2-Wire, 3-Wire, and 4-Wire Transmitter Automatedo 2022-05-22 | 🎥 In today’s industrial automation, the 4 to 20 milliamp transmitters are used in a wide range of processes for monitoring many parameters such as temperature. You should know that several types of 4 to 20 milliamp transmitters wiring exist, and they can be divided into three categories: 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire configurations.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What is the function of a transmitter?- What is the definition of a transmitter?- What are the output signals of transmitters?- How to connect 2-wire transmitters to the PLC?- How to connect 3-wire transmitters to the PLC?- How to connect 4-wire transmitters to the PLC?- What are the 4-20 mA transmitters' wiring types?- What are the advantages and disadvantages of 2-wire current loops?- What are the advantages and disadvantages of 3-wire current loops?- What are the advantages and disadvantages of 4-wire current loops?======================================================💬 Video Summary:- A transmitter is a device that senses the real-world signal from a sensor and converts it into the control signal. A broad range of voltage or current output signals is provided on transmitters. So far, the most frequent analog signal used in industrial applications is 4 to 20 milliamps.- You should know that several types of 4 to 20 milliamp transmitters wiring exist, and they can be divided into three categories: 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire configurations. These current loops have three things in common: a transmitter, a power supply, and a receiving device such as a PLC.- In the 2-wire current loop, the current goes from the positive side of the power supply to the positive side of the transmitter. From there, the current goes from the negative side of the transmitter to the positive side of the PLC analog input. Then it goes back out of the negative side of the PLC analog input to the negative side of the power supply, and that will make our current loop.- In the 3-wire current loop, from the positive side of the power supply, we bring 24 volts to power up the transmitter. Then the transmitter generates its desired signal current, which is the 4 to 20 milliamp signal going to the analog input of the PLC. And as the common side of the transmitter and the common side of the PLC analog input are the same connection, this is the return path of the 4 to 20 milliamp signal.- In the 4-wire current loop by bringing the power supply voltage to the 4-wire transmitter, we make it operational. The positive polarity of the transmitter milliamp signal connects to the positive polarity of the PLC analog input. Also, the negative side of the transmitter goes to the negative side of the PLC analog input.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 Transmitter Definition01:16 4-20mA Transmitters Wiring Types01:45 2-Wire Transmitters Connection to PLC02:56 2-Wire Current Loop Pros and Cons03:31 3-Wire Transmitters Connection to PLC04:14 3-Wire Current Loop Pros and Cons04:55 4-Wire Transmitters Connection to PLC05:58 4-Wire Current Loop Pros and Cons======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?

Simultaneously, the sensor's detector circuit relies on the oscillator's output frequency as its reference.- When an object comes near the capacitive sensor and interrupts its sensing field, it first increases the capacitance. This increase leads to a higher oscillator amplitude of the oscillator circuit.- The detector circuit then notices this frequency change and responds, such as turning on the sensor's output when the detected change is substantial.Capacitive Proximity Sensor Material Detection Abilities- Capacitive sensors distinguish themselves from many other sensing technologies by their proficiency in detecting diverse materials, including metals, wood, plastics, glass, fabric, leather, rubber, and more.- Also, they are adept at identifying liquids such as water, paint, and oil.Capacitive Proximity Sensor Sensing Range- Let's explore the sensing range of a capacitive sensor, which signifies the furthest point from the sensor's face at which the target is detectable.- For optimal performance in various applications, some capacitive sensors feature adjustable controls for sensitivity.Capacitive Proximity Sensor Wiring- A capacitive proximity sensor cable contains four wires: brown, blue, black, and white.- Brown and blue wires are the power wires and need to be connected to the power supply's positive and negative terminals. The black and white wires are used for the sensor's output signals.Capacitive Proximity Sensor Mounting Style- Some sensor variations offer a seamless installation experience, readily adaptable to various surfaces with the easy use of bolts.- Conversely, other sensor styles may demand a more hands-on approach, requiring drilling and tapping a precise hole to accommodate their dimensions accurately.- For instances demanding adaptability and stability, the strategic use of a bracket often emerges as the most viable mounting solution.Capacitive Proximity Sensor Application- First on the list is part detection. Capacitive proximity sensors are designed to identify objects on workstations and robots.- Employing capacitive proximity sensors allows for precise part counting.- Using capacitive proximity sensors to measure liquid levels in non-metallic containers ensures proper monitoring.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 What is a Capacitive Proximity Sensor?00:53 Capacitive Proximity Sensor Diagram01:55 Capacitive Proximity Sensor Working Principle02:51 Capacitive Proximity Sensor Material Detection Abilities03:38 Capacitive Proximity Sensor Sensing Range04:21 Capacitive Proximity Sensor Wiring05:56 Capacitive Proximity Sensor Mounting Style06:37 Capacitive Proximity Sensor Setup Adjustment07:16 Capacitive Proximity Sensor Application======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?PLC: youtu.be/SbbxEzno3nUHMI: youtu.be/M3RZKW38XA8SCADA: youtu.be/7kTJA69EzMcPNP Sensor: youtu.be/aJc9C1F4uSoNPN Sensor: youtu.be/qHayhQMC9xoPLC Hardware: youtu.be/wlCG8d2iQ5cSolenoid Valves: youtu.be/gWyGaqp_k1g2-Wire, 3-Wire, and 4-Wire Transmitter: youtu.be/XNBCSlQSh4A======================================================💡 If you enjoyed this video and want to follow our upcoming videos, subscribe to this YouTube channel and relax your mind:bit.ly/3CTjbUi======================================================#Automatedo #proximitysensor #capacitive

NPN Sensor Explained | Working, Wiring, and Testing Automatedo 2023-08-06 | 🎥 When dealing with 24-Volt DC sensors, it is common to encounter the term NPN, which can be challenging to understand as it is frequently used in the industry.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What is an NPN sensor?- How to test an NPN sensor?- How to wire an NPN sensor?- What is an NPN output sensor?- How does an NPN sensor work?- What is an NPN sensor used for?- How to connect an NPN sensor to a PLC?- What are the components of an NPN sensor?- What are some typical applications of NPN sensors?======================================================💬 Video Summary:NPN Circuit- The first step is to check if the circuit is designed to accommodate NPN sensors- The NPN is shorthand for negative-positive-negative. The middle letter P in NPN stands for Positive polarity and serves as a reminder of a direct connection of the load to the Positive side of the power supply.NPN Sensor Diagram- The internal circuitry of a 3-wire NPN sensor typically contains two main components: the sensing element circuit and an NPN transistor.NPN Sensor Wiring- Active solid-state 3-Wire NPN sensors typically require an operating power to function.- The power wire, identified by its brown color, is connected to the positive side of the power supply, while the blue wire is attached to the power supply's negative terminal.- The signal output wire of the sensor, which connects to the input terminal of the load, is identified by its black color. This wire is the third wire of the sensor.NPN Sensor Working- When the 3-wire NPN sensor doesn't sense any metal object, the active line goes low, causing the NPN transistor to switch off and function somewhat as an open switch. So, it leaves the NPN output circuit open, resulting in no current flowing through it and the alarm device remaining off.- The sensor's detection of a metal object causes the active line to go high, then turns on the NPN transistor to act like a closed switch and activate the alarm device.- Since the NPN sensor can be considered as receiving input power from the load for sinking it to the ground, it is commonly referred to as a sinking sensor.NPN Sensor Connection to PLC- It is crucial to select a field sensor type that is complementary or opposite to the type of PLC discrete input module used to have reliable performance. Since the NPN or sinking sensor has been incorporated into this circuit, it is imperative to use a sourcing PLC discrete input module to match it.- Finalizing the circuit requires attaching the sensor output, represented by the black wire, to the input of the PLC module and then linking the common terminal of the PLC module to the power supply's positive terminal.Checking NPN Sensor- Lastly, you will discover how to test the NPN sensor to ensure it operates correctly. To do so, make sure you have a multimeter on hand.- Attach the multimeter's red lead to the NPN sensor's black wire and connect the black lead of the multimeter to the ground.- If the NPN sensor doesn't detect a metal object, then you can expect that the sensor's output voltage will be high, which indicates that it is supplying a voltage nearly equivalent to the power supply to the input of the PLC module.- And you expect when a metal object enters the detection range of the sensor, the sensor's output voltage will be pulled down to almost zero volts.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 24-Volt DC Sensors01:13 NPN Circuit02:36 NPN Sensor Internal Diagram03:22 NPN Sensor Connection04:24 NPN Sensor Working Principle05:32 NPN Sensor Wiring to PLC07:30 NPN Sensor Testing======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?

What is PNP Sensor? Working, Wiring and Testing Automatedo 2023-07-02 | 🎥 In the realm of 24-Volt DC sensors, it is inevitable to come across the term PNP, as it is a common and often confusing term used in the industry.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What is a PNP sensor?- How to test a PNP sensor?- How to wire a PNP sensor?- What is a PNP output sensor?- How does a PNP sensor work?- What is a PNP sensor used for?- How to connect a PNP sensor to a PLC?- What are the components of a PNP sensor?- What are some common applications of PNP sensors?======================================================💬 Video Summary:PNP Circuit- First, you should learn whether the circuit is designed for PNP sensors.- The PNP is shorthand for positive-negative-positive. The letter N in the middle of PNP, short for Negative polarity, reminds you that the load should be connected directly to the Negative side of the power supply.PNP Sensor Diagram- Let's take a closer look at the internal circuit design of a 3-wire PNP sensor. Generally, it consists of a sensing element circuitry and a PNP transistor.PNP Sensor Wiring- Solid-state 3-Wire PNP sensors are classified as active devices and typically need a small amount of operating power.- The brown wire of the PNP sensor, known as the power wire, is attached to the positive side of the power supply, and then the blue wire of the PNP sensor is connected to the power supply's negative terminal.- The third wire of the PNP sensor, which is black, is identified as the signal output wire of the sensor that is going to connect to the input terminal of the load.PNP Sensor Working- Whenever the PNP sensor doesn't detect any metal object, the active line is low. Thus, the PNP transistor is off and behaves somewhat as an open switch. As a result, no current flows in or out of the PNP output, and the light bulb is off.- But detecting a metal object by the PNP sensor makes the active line goes high and subsequently turns the PNP transistor on to act somewhat as a closed switch. As a result, it enables the flow of current from the power supply's positive terminal, through the PNP transistor, towards the PNP sensor output and eventually to the negative terminal of the power supply via the load.- So, the function of the PNP sensor in providing power to the load is why it is commonly known as the sourcing sensor.PNP Sensor Connection to PLC- The type of field sensor used in the industry must be complementary to the PLC discrete input module type. Since you put the PNP or sourcing sensor here, you need a sinking PLC discrete input module to go along with it.- Connect the black wire of the PNP sensor, which represents the PNP sensor output, to the input of the PLC module, and the power supply's negative terminal should be connected to the PLC module's common terminal.Checking PNP Sensor- Finally, let's learn how to test the PNP sensor to see if it works correctly. To do so, you need to get your multimeter into play.- Connect the red lead of the multimeter to the black wire of the PNP sensor and attach the multimeter's black lead to the ground.- You expect if the PNP sensor does not sense the presence of a metal object, the PNP sensor's output voltage will be low, meaning the PNP sensor supplies almost zero volts to the input of the PLC module.- And you expect if a metal object enters the PNP sensor detection range, the output voltage of the PNP sensor will be pulled up to almost nearly the same voltage of the power supply. ======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 24-Volt DC Sensors01:04 PNP Circuit02:19 PNP Sensor Internal Diagram03:00 PNP Sensor Connection04:01 PNP Sensor Working Principle04:55 PNP Sensor Wiring to PLC06:36 PNP Sensor Testing======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?

Overload Relay Trip Class | Types of Overload Relay Automatedo 2023-03-26 | 🎥 If you want to know how overload relays trip and how long it takes for overload relays to trip under an overload condition, watch this video until the end.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What are two types of overload relays?- How does a dashpot overload relay work?- What is the trip class in the overload relay?- How does a bimetallic overload relay work?- How does a melting alloy overload relay work?- What are two types of thermal overload relays?- What are two types of magnetic overload relays?- How does an electronic (solid-state) overload relay work?- How long would it take for an overload relay to trip under an overload condition?======================================================💬 Video Summary:Overload Relay Explained- An overload relay is a sensory safety instrument that protects an electrical motor from a continual high current draw, preventing it from overheating. When the overload relay senses an overload condition that has persisted for a while, it will trip and notify a contactor of the problem, so the contactor interrupts the current flow and shuts off the motor.Overload Relay Types- There are two different kinds of overload relays: thermal overload relays and magnetic overload relays. Two types of thermal overload relays exist, bimetallic and melting alloy. And the two main types of magnetic overload relays are dashpot and electronic.Bimetallic Thermal Overload Relay- When an abnormally high current flows through the heating element, the bimetallic strip receives the heat produced by the heating element. As a result, the strip bends and causes the insulated rod and lever to be pushed to activate the tripping mechanism, which opens the normally closed contact, interrupts electricity to the contactor coil, and opens the power contacts to stop the motor.Melting Alloy Thermal Overload Relay- When an overload condition happens, excessive current flows through, causing the heater coil to heat up sufficiently to melt the inner eutectic alloy. So, it enables the inner ratchet shaft to spin and releases the pawl, causing the spring-loaded contact to open, thus de-energizing the contactor coil and opening the power contact to stop the motor.Dashpot Magnetic Overload Relay- Once the tripping current passes through the coils in the event of overloading, the magnetic field becomes more powerful, causing the plunger and piston to start moving upward against the displacement of viscose oil through the orifice. Due to the completion of upward movement of the plunger and piston, the normally open contact closes in the trip circuit and de-energizes the contactor coil, thus opening the power contact to turn off the motor.Electronic Magnetic Overload Relay- When continual overloading occurs, the created current flowing through the CT wire increases, which is then processed by the circuit board. After the internal circuitry finds out that the motor is pulling a high current, it will send a command to open the auxiliary normally closed contact, thus interrupting the power to the contactor coil and deactivating the power contacts to stop the motor.Overload Relay Trip Class- Each manufacturer should provide a graph displaying tripping time as a function of current. On a logarithmic scale, this graph shows tripping time on the y-axis and illustrates current as a multiple of the overload current on the x-axis.- The trip class describes how long it takes for an overload relay to trip while carrying a current equivalent to six times its existing setting.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 Overload Relay Explained00:31 Types of Overload Relay00:55 Bimetallic Overload Relay02:32 Melting Alloy Overload Relay03:35 Dashpot Overload Relay04:30 Electronic Overload Relay05:18 Overload Relay Trip Class======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?

What is an Overload Relay? Connection & Working Principle Automatedo 2023-02-26 | 🎥 If you are curious to know what an overload relay is, what an overload relay consists of, how an overload relay is coupled into a contactor to protect a motor, what differences it has with a circuit breaker, and how to test an overload relay to check if it is functioning, watch this video until the end.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What is a motor starter?- What is motor overload?- What is an overload relay?- How to test an overload relay?- How to wire an overload relay?- What causes overload current?- How does an overload relay work?- What are the components of an overload relay?- How to connect an overload relay to a contactor?- What is the difference between a circuit breaker and an overload relay?======================================================💬 Video Summary:What is Motor Overload- If a motor draws too much current and generates too much heat, it indicates running in overload. So, to protect products in industrial automation, an overload relay is used to attach to a contactor to prevent motors from operating in overload.Overload Relay Operation- Once the overload relay detects an ongoing overload condition for a considerable time, it will trip and send feedback to the contactor, so the contactor breaks up the current flow and stops the motor.Motor Overload Causes- When a rotor gets jammed, and there is a mechanical obstruction.- When the process of aligning shafts with each other is not properly executed.- When the ambient temperature is high, and there is inadequate ventilation.- When a motor is undersized to handle a load which causes additional stress on a motor, and- When bearings, responsible for supporting the shaft inside a motor, have been damaged.Parts of an Overload Relay- Adjustable current setting: By using this dial, you can specify the amount of current the motor must draw to be considered overloaded. In other words, the motor's rated FLA or Full Load Amps can be set here.- Built-in auxiliary contacts: A pair numbered 95 to 96 is normally closed, whereas a pair numbered 97 to 98 is normally open.- Reset button: This design allows you to toggle between manual and automatic reset modes and functions as the reset button.- Test trip button: It may be utilized to simulate a trip off the overload relay to check if the overload relay is working correctly.- Trip indicator: provides the status of the overload relay visually. Meaning, when an overload condition happens, this indicator turns on.Difference between Overload Relay and Circuit Breaker- Using a circuit breaker, you can protect a motor from sudden high-current events caused by a short circuit.- On the other side, an overload relay protects a motor from the excessive current being drawn from the supply. Overload Relay and Contactor ConnectionAn overload relay cannot be used to operate a motor on its own, so you need to pair it with a contactor. Typically, an overload relay is positioned beneath a contactor, often having three prongs extend outside its housing coupled into the contactor load side terminals.Overload Relay Testing ProcedureFinally, we will show how to test the overload relay using a multimeter set to the Continuity Beeper.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 Motor Overload Explained00:52 Overload Relay Working Principle01:22 Motor Overload Causes02:02 Overload Relay Components03:35 Overload Relay vs Circuit Breaker04:34 Overload Relay Connection With Contactor05:14 Overload Relay Wiring Diagram06:46 Overload Relay Testing======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?

What is HMI? | Human Machine Interface Automatedo 2023-01-29 | 🎥 An HMI or Human Machine Interface is simply a control unit that facilitates the integration of operators into complicated industrial processes by delivering a user-friendly dashboard.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What is HMI?- Why is HMI used?- Where is HMI used?- What is HMI design?- How does HMI work?- What is HMI software?- What is HMI Hardware?- What is the HMI function?- What does HMI stand for?- What are the types of HMI?- What is HMI programming?- What is the purpose of HMI?- What are the advantages of HMI?- How does HMI communicate with a PLC?======================================================💬 Video Summary:HMI Explained- Because PLC is just hardware, it cannot display signal values instantly to operators unless technical staff with a personal computer and necessary software establish a connection to the PLC and check the program status online to keep an eye on signal values.- It is not a practical method for operations employees to regularly check what the PLC is doing, and that’s where a human-machine interface, or HMI for short, comes into play.HMI Types- A variety of HMIs is available in an industrial setting, such as touchscreen, screen with buttons, built-in screen, handheld screen, computer screen, and mobile screenHMI Hardware- The hardware layouts of most actual HMIs are similar, which include the following: screen for monitoring, control panel, and communication portHMI Software- The software configurations of most genuine HMIs are alike, which applies in two steps.- First, development. A personal computer is used to program the HMI through special software. And the Second step that applies in the HMI software configuration is runtime.HMI Design- If you are interested in HMI programming, you should consider some essential design tips, such as user awareness, visibility, simplicity, and consistencyHMI to PLC communication- For the HMI to provide an interface for a manufacturing line, the HMI usually needs to be connected to a programmable logic controller or PLC.- Compatibility between the HMI and PLC is required, meaning they must be able to communicate with one another.HMI Operation:- The PLC will receive information from sensors and will start processing the collected data into logical combinations.- As soon as the PLC provides real-time data directly to the HMI, the HMI is used to convert complicated process variables into information in the form of a graphical way.- At this point, the operator can send commands through the HMI screen, and the HMI will transfer user inputs to the PLC to be processed into the logical format.- Then the PLC sends translated data to the actuators to be executed over a given industrial process system.HMI Function- Most HMIs have the same basic and extensively utilized functionality, such as monitoring, controlling, alarms management, data logging, and troubleshootingHMI Advantages:- And finally, let us talk about the benefits of implementing HMIs, including increased visibility, enhanced efficiency, decreased downtime, ensure safety, ease-of-use, and cost reduction.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 What is an HMI?00:55 HMI Types01:57 HMI Hardware02:21 HMI Software03:39 HMI Interface with PLC04:54 HMI Functionality06:08 HMI Benfits======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?

What is Photodiode? | Explained its Working and Application Automatedo 2022-12-24 | 🎥 A photodiode is a PN junction light-sensitive semiconductor device that when exposed to radiation, produces an electrical current. It means a photodiode receives light as input and generates current as output.======================================================💬 Video Summary:Photodiode vs LED:- The function of a photodiode is the opposite of an LED. An LED is also a diode but makes light out of electricity.Photodiode Terminals:- There are two terminals that protrude from the end of a photodiode. The cathode terminal is the diode's shorter end, whereas the anode terminal is the diode's longer end. Photodiode Symbol:- The photodiode symbol is nearly similar to the symbol of the PN junction diode, except that it includes two inward arrows representing light shining on a photodiode. The symbol also indicates the two terminals of a photodiode: cathode and anode.Photodiode Construction:- If you are familiar with diodes, you know that in a PN junction, the P region majority carriers are holes, and the N region majority carriers are electrons. Also, there is a space in between, called the depletion region, which has no electrons or holes but only includes positive (or donor) ions, and negative (or acceptor) ions.Photodiode Dark Current:- When the photodiode is under the reverse bias condition and in the absence of the incident light, only a minority reverse saturation current in the microampere goes through the photodiode, called the dark current.Photodiode Working Principle:- It’s time to shine light over the depletion region of the photodiode to see what happens. If incident photons have enough energy, they can release electrons from the valence band and occupy them in the higher energy band called the conduction band.- Therefore, we can see a free electron and a free hole have been generated within the depletion region. Because of the movement of these charge carriers, which is the result of throwing light, the electric current, known as photocurrent, is generated in the photodiode.Photodiode Advantages and Disadvantages:- The main advantages of using a photodiode are low noise, reasonable price, lightweight, small and compact, long lifespan, no need for high voltage, fastest photodetector, mechanical stress-tolerant, and the output current has linearity as a function of incident light.- The main disadvantages of using a photodiode are the need for external biasing, with a rise in temperature, the dark current increases, the active area is small, and the amplification is needed since the output is low.Photodiode Application Example:- Finally, let us explore an application where the photodiode is used in an alarm system. Here we have a welding robot, and we do not want anyone to be present when the welding operation is going on since it may cause injury to the personnel.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 Photodiode Definition00:41 Photodiode Symbol01:04 Photodiode Diagram02:54 Photodiode Dark Current03:34 Photodiode Working Principle05:22 Photodiode Pros and Cons05:59 Photodiode Application======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?

Capacitors Explained | Types and Application Automatedo 2022-11-27 | 🎥 A capacitor, formerly known as a condenser, is a passive electronic component with two terminals that can store electrical charge.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What is a capacitor?- What are capacitor types?- What is inside a capacitor?- How does a capacitor work?- What is a polarized capacitor?- How does a capacitor discharge?- What is a non-polarized capacitor?- What do capacitor markings mean?- How does a capacitor store energy?- What are the symbols for capacitors?- What is a capacitance capacitor unit?- What is capacitor application in electronics?- What is the difference between a capacitor and a battery?======================================================💬 Video Summary:Capacitor vs Battery- The first difference between them is their energy storage. The second distinction between them is their energy density. And the third main difference between them is the charge and discharge rate.Capacitor Symbols- As an electrical engineer, you should know capacitors are represented in electrical drawings as shown in this video. We will focus on the polarized and non-polarized capacitors symbols- They always come with two terminals that link the capacitor to the remainder of the circuit. The capacitors symbol is made of two parallel lines that might be flat or curved; the two parallel lines should be close but not touching.- The curved line in the symbol shows that the capacitor is polarized, implying it is most likely an electrolytic capacitor. Please note that the curved line is a negative side and must be connected to the ground, and the flat one is a positive terminal and must be connected to the power.- For the non-polarized symbol, which probably indicates a ceramic capacitor, it doesn’t matter which of the capacitor terminals is connected to the ground or power.Capacitor Markings- One of the characteristics displayed over the larger capacitors, like electrolytic types, is usually capacitance. The capacitance of the capacitor is measured in the farad unit, abbreviated F.- The other value we usually see on the side of the larger capacitors is the voltage, which is measured in volts, abbreviated V. This voltage value represents the highest voltage that the capacitor can handle.- In the case of smaller capacitors, such as ceramic models, a shorthand notation is printed over the capacitor body consisting of a three-digit number and a letter, where the digits represent the capacitance in pico-farad and the letter indicates the capacitor tolerance.Capacitor Structure- If you are curious to know what’s inside the capacitors, regardless of shape and size, it consists of two parallel metal plates separated from each other by an insulating material (dielectric).Capacitor Working Principle- It’s time to connect the capacitor to the battery. Since we have an electrolytic capacitor here, we should configure which terminals of the capacitor should attach to the power or ground.- Once we attach the battery to the capacitor, the electrons on the right side get attracted toward the battery-positive terminal. And then, from the battery's negative terminal, the electrons get repelled and pushed toward the left side.- Since the number of electrons on the left side is more than protons, we consider the left plate negatively charged.

Solenoid Valve Explained | Types and Application Automatedo 2022-08-21 | 🎥 The solenoid valve is one of the inseparable tools of the industry, which is used in a wide variety of applications across many industries. In this video, we will discuss how solenoid valves work. We also cover three types of solenoid valves used in industry and one of the well-known applications in which solenoid valve is most frequently used.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What is a solenoid valve?- What are solenoid valve types?- How does a solenoid valve work?- What is a direct-acting solenoid valve?- What is an indirect-acting solenoid valve?- What is a semi-direct acting solenoid valve?- What are the components of a solenoid valve?======================================================💬 Video Summary:- The solenoid valve is an electromechanical actuator that converts electrical energy into a linear mechanical pull/push action.- We have three main types of solenoid valves based on the operating principle: Direct-acting, Indirect-acting, and, Semi-direct acting- Direct-acting solenoid valve: For a normally-closed valve in the rest position, the spring pushes down the plunger to effectively block the orifice and prevent the media flow from entering the orifice.- Indirect-Acting Solenoid Valve: Consider a normally-closed valve as an example. Two chambers are separated by a diaphragm within the valve. A pinhole in the diaphragm where the media can flow from the inlet into the upper chamber, making the pressure equal in both chambers. However, the pressurized media in the upper chamber acts across a much broader area of the diaphragm than the media in the inlet. Therefore, the downward force above the diaphragm is greater than the upward force below it. This high pressure above the diaphragm, together with the presence of the supporting spring, will keep the valve closed, and the media cannot flow. The chamber above the diaphragm is connected to the low-pressure port by a small channel (called a pilot orifice) The plunger blocks this channel in the closed position.- Semi-direct acting solenoid valve: It combines the characteristics of a direct and indirect valve with the difference that in this type of solenoid valve, the plunger is attached directly to the diaphragm. Take a look at the normally-closed valve as an example. There are two chambers in the valve, separated by the diaphragm. A tiny hole in the diaphragm connects these chambers, causing the pressure in both to equalize. The media in the upper chamber has more contact with the diaphragm than the media in the inlet. So, the diaphragm is forced down towards the valve seat, and as a result, the valve closes.- Finally, we focus on an industrial application in which the solenoid valve is used as an actuator to control the level of liquid in the tank.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 Solenoid Valve Meaning00:41 Solenoid Valve Types00:55 Direct-Acting Solenoid Valve02:12 Indirect-Acting Solenoid Valve04:30 Semi-Direct Acting Solenoid Valve06:34 Solenoid Valve Application Example======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?

What is DCS? | Distributed Control System Automatedo 2022-07-24 | 🎥 As a control engineer, you know about the challenges that today’s industrial automation systems are facing. So, you can put your trust in a powerful, versatile, safe process control technology that can maximize production asset utilization to get higher efficiency which is called DCS.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What is DCS mean?- What is DCS stands for?- What are DCS features?- What is DCS architecture?- What are DCS applications?- What are DCS components?- What is DCS working principle?======================================================💬 Video Summary:- DCS is short for Distributed Control System, but as its term is developed over time, nowadays, the DCS is known as Decentralized Control System.- The DCS is a computerized control system that coordinates and monitors a whole process or factory that consists of many autonomous controllers deployed across a facility that can handle many continuous operations with lots of analog signals and intricate PID control loops.- DCS is well-known in the continuous manufacturing processes such as petrochemicals, nuclear power plants, water management systems, and automobile industries, among others.- A typical facility starts with the integrated operator control center, often referred to as the Operator Station, which is the heart of the system.- In the next level of components, we find the Server, Archiving Computer (Storage Computer, Historian), and Designing Station (Engineering Station).- We see the master Controllers (Process Stations) and Supervision and Command units (HMIs) at the next level.- To measure and control the different parameters in industrial processes, we need instrumentations like sensors and actuators located at the field device level. This level also includes Distributed or Remote IOs that can sense and control digital and analog signals by their IO modules.- There would be two CPUs instead of one in a DCS control cabinet. One is our primary CPU, while the other is a redundant CPU.- Because a DCS takes a lot of time to analyze data, it is not the best choice when response times are crucial.- DCS is a scalable platform, which means it can handle newly installed equipment and data integration to unify the whole control system.- And at last, relying on DCS will increase the system safety. Because the manufacturer provides both the control and monitoring equipment as an integrated package which minimizes the chances of integration faults.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 DCS Definition and Application01:20 DCS Operator Station02:22 DCS Server, Archiving Computer, and Designing Station03:58 DCS Controller and Supervision and Command Unit04:53 DCS Field Devices05:26 DCS Features======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?

PLC Hardware Components Automatedo 2022-06-26 | 🎥 In industrial automation, if you want to count yourself as a PLC expert, you need to be familiar with the most essential PLC components known as PLC hardware. You should have a basic understanding of the physical components that make up a PLC system, and you should know each one of the PLC hardware components is designed to perform a specific function.By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:- What is the PLC CPU module?- What is the PLC function module?- What is the PLC power supply module?- What are the PLC input/output modules?- What is the PLC communication module?- What are the PLC hardware components?======================================================💬 Video Summary:- The basic PLC hardware components include the following: power supply, central processing unit (or CPU), input and output modules, function modules, and communication modules. Having PLC hardware components together is crucial to make the PLC operates effectively.- Typically, the first module is a power supply. The most common input voltage to a power supply is 120 or 230-volt AC. From this point, the power supply regulates and converts the AC input voltage to the DC output voltage, mostly 24-volt DC.- The second module that we are talking about is the Central Processing Unit or CPU. The CPU controls and monitors all PLC system operations especially executing the PLC program based on the status of input field devices so, it can decide what output field devices should do.- The next component of PLC hardware that we discuss is I/O or input/output modules that connect to different types of field devices. Digital input and output modules connect to the field devices that only have two statuses. These devices are either completely off or completely on. Analog input and output modules can measure or produce a variable signal that lies between a specific range of values.- Function modules or FMs are another part of PLC hardware use in motion control applications with high accuracy. Whenever the input/output signals consist of high-frequency pulses, the function modules are needed to handle high-speed counting.- The last, but by no means the least, is the communication modules. Communication modules supply extra communication ports or protocols that an industrial system may need. The communication modules provide additional ports on top of the ports we currently have on the CPU.======================================================⏰ TABLE OF CONTENTS ⏰00:00 PLC Hardware Components01:26 PLC Power Supply Module02:32 PLC CPU Module03:53 PLC Input/Output Modules05:04 PLC Function Module06:17 PLC Communication Module======================================================🔥 Have you seen our recent popular videos?
