The power system requires a high degree of reliability. During operation, the system may have some abnormal conditions or may cause troublesome problems. Some of these situations are beyond human control and cannot be avoided. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient device to detect such failure conditions and react immediately to minimize damage to the device. Molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) can help protect equipment. A molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) is a device that protects low-voltage power distribution systems from overloads and short circuits. Molded case circuit breakers allow quick reactivation of a circuit after clearing a short circuit or overload. MCCBs (molded case circuit breakers) can easily identify the difference between an overcurrent and a short circuit. It allows a slight overcurrent for a while, but turns on faster as the current level increases. MCCB can be used to complete protection and disconnection functions.

The speed control methods of the BLDC motor controller include self-contained potentiometer speed control, external potentiometer speed control, and external analog signal speed control (0 ~ 5V). Different occasions and distances can use different speed control mode, which is one of the features of our brushless DC motor kit. Now what we want to introduce is how to use the 5V analog signal to control the speed of the DC brushless motor.
A circuit breaker is essentially a safety device for any property that uses electricity. These fixtures act as third parties in complex and dangerous electrical wiring systems. MCB and MCCB are circuit breakers. They are used in homes to prevent personal injury and electrical damage. These devices are designed to perform specific functions. It is their special features that make them special. So, what are the differences between them?
The function of the weighing sensor can be shown only when the weighing sensor is equipped with a good weighing display instrument. We are going to introduce the wiring and calibration of ATA-DDC5-CHB universal weighing instrument.
Contactors are used in electric power, distribution and electricity applications. A contactor refers to an electrical appliance that uses a coil to flow through a current to generate a magnetic field to close the contacts in order to control the load in industrial electricity. There are many types of contactors according to their purpose and characteristics.
A load cell is actually a device that converts a mass signal into measurable electrical output. ATO has introduced how to convert the m V model output by the pressure sensor into a 4-20mA standard analog signal. But in the industrial control process, digital signals are also extremely important, so this time ATO will explain the RS485 interface function ( Modbus RTU protocol ) of the load cell transmitter.
The contactor of CJX2 series we are going to use is type 4NO, type 3NO and type 2NO+2NC. The main contact point has different performance in 220V~660V. The control coil voltage is 110VAC, 220VAC, 24VAC and 24VDC, and the 220VAC is used this time.
In a previous blog, we talked about how to use the external terminals to control the direction, start and stop of the VFD. However we found a problem, that is, the speed regulation of the VFD still needs to use the VFD control panel, so this time we will tell you how to use the external potentiometer to adjust the speed of the ATO variable frequency drive.
The common control methods of VFD are panel control, terminal control, and Modbus RTU control. The panel control is the simplest, only need to connect the power cable and motor cable, and set the parameters to control the speed and direction of the motor. The terminal control and Modbus RTU control methods are more complicated. The following will show you how to How to control VFD with push button switch/terminal control/wire control
We covered how to calibrate the load cell and connect it to the load display in our previous blog. In the process of using the sensor, sometimes we need the standard analog signal of the sensor, so we need a transmitter to convert the mV signal of the load cell into standard industrial signals, such as 0-20mA, 4-20mA, 0-10V, etc. ATO load cell transmitter is the protagonist of our introduction, its output signal is 4~20mA.
The working of brushed DC motors relies on the interaction between the stator and rotor electromagnetic fields, which are controlled to periodically generate attractive and repulsive forces between the stator and rotor, thereby causing motion. A brushed DC motor has a large number of coils wound around its armature, and the resulting strong magnetic field interacts with an external magnetic field to generate rotational motion.
Safety light curtain is also photoelectric safety protection device (also known as safety protector, punch protector, infrared safety protection device, etc.), generally speaking, safety light curtain exists in pairs, divided into the transmitting end and the receiving end. It is to avoid personnel close to the moving machinery of a photoelectric equipment, can avoid casualties.
A molded case circuit breaker, also known as an installation circuit breaker, is an electrical protection device used to protect a circuit from overcurrent, which can cause an overload or short circuit. All parts are sealed in plastic housing, auxiliary contacts, undervoltage releases and shunt releases are mostly modular. Due to its very compact structure, molded case circuit breakers are basically impossible to repair. Most of them use manual operation, and large-capacity can choose electric switching. Due to the application of electronic overcurrent release, molded case circuit breakers can also be divided into two types: class A and class B. Class B has good three-stage protection characteristics, but due to price factors, the use of thermal magnetic release Class A products have a higher market share.
Centrifugal pumps are widely used in electric power production, because of their wide range of performance (including flow, pressure head and loss of media properties), small size, simple structure, easy operation, uniform flow, long life, Prominent advantages such as lower acquisition costs and lower operating costs. There are many varieties of centrifugal pumps. Although the structures of various types of pumps are different, the main components are basically the same. The main components of the centrifugal pump include: impeller, pump shaft, pump casing, pump seat, stuffing box (shaft seal device), leakage reducing ring, bearing seat, etc.
Solid state relay has reliable operation, long life, no noise, no spark, no electromagnetic interference, fast switching speed, strong anti-interference ability, and small size, impact resistance, oscillation resistance, explosion-proof, moisture-proof, anti-corrosion, compatible with TTL, DTL, HTL and other logic circuits, with small control signals to directly drive large current load.
Proximity sensors are known as non-contact travel switches which are generally widely used in material sorting control systems and automatic detection. Proximity sensors are divided into inductive proximity sensor, capacitive proximity sensor, magnetic proximity sensor, analog proximity sensor and Hall proximity sensor, which can detect whether there is an object approaching within a range of several millimeters to tens of millimeters. When the distance between the object and the proximity switch reaches a certain range, this proximity sensor can send out the corresponding action signal.
After the sensor is powered on, a green light will be emitted through the lens, and the light-colored plane will gradually approach the light source. When the set distance is reached, the sensor signal output will be triggered. When the dark block is moved to the light source of the sensor, it can be found that the trigger of the sensor is relieved. We can also adjust the sensitivity through a knob.
Fiber optic amplifier can be used as a type of beam or diffuse sensor. The combination of fiber amplifiers and fiber sensing can meet the induction requirements of complex and variable industrial automation systems. Optical fiber can be easily integrated in space limited places to solve the problem of difficult signal collection; Fiber optic sensor can process signals with high precision and convert different information to output to automatic systems.
Hall effect magnetic proximity sensor can achieve the largest detection distance with a small switch volume. It can detect magnetic objects (usually permanent magnets), and then generate a trigger switch signal output. Since the magnetic field can pass through many non-magnetic objects, this triggering process does not necessarily require the target object to be directly close to the sensing surface of the magnetic proximity switch, but the magnetic field is transmitted to a long distance through a magnetic conductor.
The rotary encoder is a device used to measure the speed and cooperate with PWM technology to realize rapid speed regulation. The photoelectric rotary encoder can convert the angular displacement, angular velocity and other mechanical quantities of the output shaft into corresponding electrical pulses through photoelectric conversion. output (REP). Divided into single output and dual output. The technical parameters mainly include the number of pulses per revolution (dozens to thousands), and the power supply voltage. Single output means that the output of the rotary encoder is a set of pulses, while the rotary encoder with double output outputs two sets of pulses with phase A/ B difference of 90 degrees. Through these two sets of pulses, not only the speed can be measured, but also the rotation can be judged direction.
