Industrial Automation
industrial automation consists in having tasks performed by machines, in order to reduce the burden on operators, while increasing productivity and improving quality.
It uses complex systems that come directly from electronics:
- Analog and digital sensors
- Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
- Communication buses (CAN, CANopen, Profibus, etc.)
- 2D or 3D vision
The ultimate goal is to “replace” humans for repetitive and painful tasks, which is why automation is increasingly associated with robotization.
The key element of automation, however, remains the automaton. This programmable electronic device processes the information received from the input sensors, from the instructions and from its program to send orders by sequential processing.
A PLC is distinguished from a computer by its characteristics which perfectly meet the needs of industrial automation:
- Robustness: designed to work in hostile environments (hardened circuits to withstand temperature and/or vibrations)
- Responsiveness: optimized processing of information, code and instructions
- Easy maintenance: easy module changes and quick restart
- Identified inputs for sensors, push buttons, software instructions, etc.
- Identified outputs for indicator lights, valves, cylinders, actuators, etc.
