The programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) are largely industrial systems developed with the manufacturing environment in mind. PLC/PAC allow safety, access to manage and monitor the array of connected machines as well as the software system integrated with it. The PLC/PAC system can seamlessly operate with a wide range of communication protocols, including conversions, data analysis, I/O interfacing, signal processing, linking, rendering, and so on. The system is completely programmable by the user. Our Modicon PLC/PAC system’s maintenance and monitoring are significantly easier. How does a programmable logic controller (PLC/PAC controllers) work? A programmable logic controller or a PLC/PAC controller usually comprise three integral components, i.e., power supply, processor, and an input/output (I/O) section. In simple terms, the processor is referred to as the brain of the PLC/PAC as it is designed to perform multiple tasks related to machine tool, process-control functions, and production. A user can successfully operate PLC/PAC controllers by monitoring the current status of the inputs, executing the control programme, and timely updating the status of the outputs. To go beyond these capabilities, some ranges of PLC/PAC’s systems also offer high availability, ensuring continuous operations and minimising downtime in critical industrial operations. They have built-in cybersecurity features safeguarding your automation system. Additionally, with their communication cards, PLC/PAC systems can integrate with various industrial networks and devices, enabling robust and secure data exchange. Furthermore, the PLC/PAC’s cutting-edge design allows them to withstand harsh environments, ensuring reliable performance even under extreme circumstances. They also empower the user to operate through a wide range of applications, from simple control tasks to complex processes automation.

What is a motor starter? A motor starter is a combination of electromechanical devices, connecting an electric motor to its power-supplying source, and providing: On/off control of the motor, optionally with direction reversing, or Star Delta soft starting Protection of the motor, its supplying cables, and its controlling devices, as requested by standards and regulations, mainly from overloads, short circuits, supply phase failures, and unbalances. Additional devices can provide additional protections, depending on the usage of the motor and the risk it implies, for instance from protracted starting time, locked rotor, reversed phases, supply voltage deviations, etc. Depending on the application requirements, the motor starter can be made of: 1 to 3 contactors, delivering power to the motor, upon manual or automatically controlled request. 1 motor protection circuit-breaker, protecting short-circuits, or from short-circuits and overloads together. 1 motor protection overload relay, when the circuit-breaker protects from short circuits only. 1 advanced motor protection relay offers a large selection of additional protections. The most common configuration combines a thermal magnetic circuit breaker (protection from overloads and short circuits) and a contactor for simple on-off control. TeSys Ultra combines all functions in one single device, with a large choice of options and digital connections. Motor starter combinations are preassembled starters, ready to connect and commission, optionally including their housing suitable for loose installation.
