Automation and control gear are integral components used in modern-day industries, providing precise and efficient operation. Automation and control systems or components are typically used to automate various processes that significantly enhance productivity and minimise human error. Automation control products encompass mechanical, electromechanical, and solid-state devices that manage, regulate, or actuate power-utilising equipment, such as motor control. They can be found beyond production plants and transportation and range from simple logic components to complex process systems like communication devices and networks, as well as software for industrial automation systems.
Key Components of Automation & Control Gear
Our comprehensive range of automation and control gear components include:
- Sensors: Detect temperature, pressure, flow rate, and motion.
- Actuators: Convert electrical signals into physical motion, like opening valves, controlling motors, and operating machinery.
- Controllers: Process sensor inputs and send control signals to actuators. Types include programmable logic controllers (PLCs), microcontrollers, and distributed control systems (DCS).
- Solenoids: Electromagnets used to transform electrical energy into mechanical motion.
- HMI Displays: Visual displays that provide information and control options for automation systems.
- Automation Signalling: Devices used to show system status, alarms, and warnings.
- Signal Tower Components: Visual signalling devices, like beacons and lights.
- Electronic Sounders: Audible alarms and warning components.
- Electric Motors: Transform electrical power into mechanical energy to power equipment.
- Contactors & Auxiliary Contacts: Electrical switching devices used to control large electrical loads.
- Contactor Accessories: Components used to enhance the performance and safety of contactors.
