A MAJOR contract for the refurbishment of traction power systems on the Tyne and Wear Metro has been won by Sella Controls utilising Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems hardware.
WEG HAS announced the launch of its latest innovation in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) – the PLC500 series. Designed to meet the growing demands of Industry 4.0, the PLC500 offers superior performance, flexible programming and advanced connectivity, making it a vital tool for modern industrial automation, says the company.
Since first finding commercial success in the early 1970s, PLCs (programmable logic controllers) have been at heart of many production lines, machine functions and processes. An industrial computer system that continuously monitors the state of input devices and makes decisions to control the state of output devices, a PLC can greatly enhance any application.
Highly modular, a PLC enables different types of input and output devices to be combined to best suit the application. It also has the ability to change and replicate a process while collecting and communicating resulting data.
