When choosing the key control component (or “control brain”) for your industrial control system, for example, constant temperature control, you have two options: PID controllers and PLCs. So, what are these two products? What’s the difference between them? And which one should you use? In this article, we’ll provide you with deeper insights than any […]

How can we measure the speed or direction of rotation of a motor? Using a hall effect sensor and tachometer is a good option, but it has a drawback: it only measures the motor’s speed, not its direction of rotation. Are there other methods for measuring both speed and direction of rotation? As a professional

Want more precise temperature control for your electric heater? A PID temperature controller paired with a closed-loop thyristor power regulator is a better choice. Why? Because, as a closed-loop instrument, a thyristor power regulator can provide a constant current, constant voltage, or constant power to the heater, compared to open-loop solid-state relays or AC contactors.

In the glass factory’s production workshop, molten glass flows through the kiln like a golden river. After undergoing processes such as forming and annealing, it is ultimately transformed into crystal-clear flat glass, precision instrument lenses, or art glass products. Every step in the transformation of glass from solid raw material to transparent finished product requires

When you flick the turn-signal stalk, in the car, you hear a steady “click-click-click.” Ever wonder where that sound comes from? It’s the automotive flasher relay – a small universal relay that opens and closes the circuit several times per second. Each click tells you, the driver, that the turn signal is active, while the
