Cams, Followers, Linkages, Ratchet Wheels Manufacturing, OD or Plate Cam, Barrel Conjugate Dual Cam, Harmonic Transformer, Positive Motion Cam - AGS-TECH Inc. Cams & Followers & Linkages & Ratchet Wheels Manufacturing CAMS / FOLLOWERS / LINKAGES / RATCHET WHEELS: A CAM is a machine element designed to generate a desired motion in a follower by means of direct contact. Cams are generally mounted on rotating shafts, even though they can be used so that they remain stationary and the follower moves about them. Cams may also produce oscillating motion or may convert motions from one form to another. The shape of a cam is always determined by the motion of the CAM FOLLOWER. A cam is the end product of a desired follower movement. A MECHANICAL LINKAGE is an assembly of bodies connected to manage forces and movement. Combinations of the crank, link, and sliding elements are commonly termed bar linkages. Linkages are essentially straight members joined together. Only a small number of dimensions need to be held closely. The joints make use of standard bearings, and the links in effect form a solid chain. Systems having cams and linkages convert rotary motion into reciprocating or oscillating motion. RATCHET WHEELS are used to transform reciprocating or oscillatory motion into intermittent motion, to transmit motion in one direction only, or as an indexing device. We offer our customers the following TYPES OF CAMS: - OD or plate cam - Barrel cam (drum or cylinder) - Dual cam - Conjugate cam - Face cam - Combination drum and plate cam - Globoidal cam for automatic tool changer - Positive motion cam - Indexing drive - Multi - station drive - Geneva - type drives We have the following CAM FOLLOWERS: - Flat face follower - Radial follower / Offset radial follower - Swinging follower - Conjugate radial dual roller followers - Closed-cam follower - Spring-loaded conjugate cam roller - Conjugate swing arm dual-roller follower - Index cam follower - Roller followers (round, flat, roller, offset roller) - Yoke - type follower Click here to download our brochure for Cam Followers Some of the MAJOR TYPES OF MOTIONS produced by our cams are: - Uniform motion (constant - velocity motion) - Parabolic motion - Harmonic motion - Cycloidal motion - Modified trapezoidal motion - Modified sine-curve motion - Synthesized, modified sine - harmonic motion Cams have advantages over kinematic four-bar linkages. Cams are easier to design and actions produced by cams can be more accurately forecast. For example, with linkages it is very difficult to cause the follower system to remain stationary during portions of cycles. On the other hand, with cams this is accomplished by a contour surface that runs concentric with the rotation center. We design cams with special computer programs accurately. With standard cam motions we can produce a predetermined motion, velocity and acceleration during a specific portion of a cam cycle, which would be much more difficult using linkages. When designing high quality cams for fast machines, we take into account proper dynamic design considering velocity, acceleration and jerk characteristics of the follower system. This includes vibrational analysis as well as shaft torque analysis. Also of utmost importance are proper material selection for cams taking into account factors such as stresses present, wear, lifetime and cost of the system where the cams will be installed. Our software tools and design experience allows us to optimize cam size for best performance and material & cost savings. To produce master cams, we prepare or obtain from our clients a table of cam radii with corresponding cam angles. Cams are then cut on a milling machine by point settings. As a result, a cam surface with a series of ridges is obtained which is subsequently filed down to a smooth profile. The cam radius, cutting radius and frequency of machine settings determine the extent of filing and accuracy of the cam profile. To produce accurate master cams, settings are in 0.5 degree increments, calculated to seconds. Cam size depends primarily on three factors. These are the pressure angle, curvature of profile, camshaft size. Secondary factors affecting cam size are cam-follower stresses, available cam material and space available for the cam. A cam is of no value and useless without a follower linkage. A linkage is generally a group of levers and links. Linkage mechanisms offer a number of advantages over cams, with the exception that the functions must be continuous. LINKAGES we offer are: - Harmonic transformer - Four-bar linkage - Straight-line mechanism - Cam linkage / Systems having linkages and cams Click on highlighted text to download our catalog for our NTN Model Constant Velocity Joints for Industrial Machines Download Catalog of Rod Ends and Spherical Plain Bearings Ratchet wheels are used to transform reciprocating or oscillating motion to intermittent motion, to transmit motion in one direction only or as indexing devices. Ratchets are generally lower in cost than cams and a ratchet has different capabilities than a cam. When motion needs to be transmitted at intervals instead of continuously and if the loads are light, ratchets can be ideal.

Dowload brochure for our DESIGN PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM Here is some key terminology that should be useful for reference purposes: A RACK UNIT or U (less commonly referred to as RU) is a unit of measure used to describe the height of equipment intended for mounting into a 19-inch rack or a 23-inch rack (The 19-inch or 23-inch dimension refers to the width of the equipment mounting frame in the rack i.e. the width of the equipment that can be mounted inside the rack). One rack unit is 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) high. The size of a piece of rack-mounted equipment is frequently described as a number in ''U''. For example, one rack unit is often referred to as ''1U'', 2 rack units as ''2U'' and so on. A typical full size rack is 44U, which means it holds just over 6 feet of equipment. In computing and information technology, however, half-rack typically describes a unit that is 1U high and half the depth of a 4-post rack (such as a network switch, router, KVM switch, or server), such that two units can be mounted in 1U of space (one mounted at the front of the rack and one at the rear). When used to describe the rack enclosure itself, the term half-rack typically means a rack enclosure that is 24U tall. A front panel or filler panel in a rack is not an exact multiple of 1.75 inches (44.45 mm). To allow space between adjacent rack-mounted components, a panel is 1⁄32 inch (0.031 inch or 0.79 mm) less in height than the full number of rack units would imply. Thus, a 1U front panel would be 1.719 inches (43.66 mm) high. A 19-inch rack is a standardized frame or enclosure for mounting multiple equipment modules. Each module has a front panel that is 19 inches (482.6 mm) wide, including edges or ears that protrude on each side which allow the module to be fastened to the rack frame with screws. Equipment designed to be placed in a rack is typically described as rack-mount, rack-mount instrument, a rack mounted system, a rack mount chassis, subrack, rack mountable, or occasionally simply shelf. A 23-inch rack is used for housing telephone (primarily), computer, audio and other equipment though is less common than the 19-inch rack. The size notes the width of the faceplate for the installed equipment. The rack unit is a measure of vertical spacing and is common to both the 19 and 23-inch (580 mm) racks. Hole spacing is either on 1-inch (25 mm) centres (Western Electric standard), or the same as for 19-inch (480 mm) racks (0.625 inches / 15.9 millimetres spacing).

Clutch, Brake, Friction Clutches, Belt Clutch, Dog Clutch, Hydraulic Clutch, Electromagnetic Clutch, Overruning Clutch, Wrap Spring Clutch, Frictional Brake Clutch & Brake Assembly CLUTCHES are a type of coupling that permit shafts to be connected or disconnected as desired. A CLUTCH is a mechanical device that transmits power and motion from one component (the driving member) to another (the driven member) when engaged, but can be disengaged when desired. Clutches are used whenever the transmission of power or motion needs to be controlled either in amount or over time (for example electric screwdrivers use clutches to limit how much torque is transmitted through; automobile clutches control transmitted engine power to the wheels). In simplest applications, clutches are employed in devices which have two rotating shafts (drive shaft or line shaft). In these devices, one shaft is typically attached to a motor or other type of power unit (the driving member) while the other shaft (the driven member) provides output power for work to be done. As an example, in a torque-controlled drill, one shaft is driven by a motor and the other drives a drill chuck. The clutch connects the two shafts so that they may be locked together and spin at the same speed (engaged), locked together but spinning at different speeds (slipping), or unlocked and spinning at different speeds (disengaged). We offer the following types of clutches: FRICTION CLUTCHES: - Multiple plate clutch - Wet & dry - Centrifugal - Cone clutch - Torque limiter BELT CLUTCH DOG CLUTCH HYDRAULIC CLUTCH ELECTROMAGNETIC CLUTCH OVERRUNING CLUTCH (FREEWHEEL) WRAP-SPRING CLUTCH Contact us for clutch assemblies to be used in your manufacturing line for motorcycles, automobiles, trucks, trailers, lawn movers, industrial machines...etc. BRAKES: A BRAKE is a mechanical device inhibiting motion. Most commonly brakes use friction to convert kinetic energy into heat, though other methods of energy conversion may also be employed. Regenerative braking converts much of the energy to electrical energy, which may be stored in batteries for later use. Eddy current brakes use magnetic fields to convert kinetic energy into electric current in the brake disc, fin, or rail, which is subsequently converted into heat. Other methods of brake systems convert kinetic energy into potential energy in such stored forms as pressurized air or pressurized oil. There are braking methods that transform kinetic energy into different forms, such as transferring the energy to a rotating flywheel.

Electric Discharge Machining - EDM - Spark Machining - Die Sinking - Wire Erosion - Custom Manufacturing - AGS-TECH Inc. EDM Machining, Electrical-Discharge Milling and Grinding ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING (EDM), also referred to as SPARK-EROSION or ELECTRODISCHARGE MACHINING, SPARK ERODING, DIE SINKING or WIRE EROSION, is a NON-CONVENTIONAL MANUFACTURING process where erosion of metals takes place and desired shape is obtained using electrical discharges in the form of sparks. We also offer some varieties of EDM, namely NO-WEAR EDM, WIRE EDM (WEDM), EDM GRINDING (EDG), DIE-SINKING EDM, ELECTRICAL-DISCHARGE MILLING, micro-EDM, m-EDM and ELECTROCHEMICAL-DISCHARGE GRINDING (ECDG). Our EDM systems consist of shaped tools/electrode and the workpiece connected to DC power supplies and inserted in a electrically nonconducting dielectric fluid. After 1940 electrical discharge machining has become one of the most important and popular production technologies in manufacturing industries. When the distance between the two electrodes is reduced, the intensity of the electric field in the volume between the electrodes becomes greater than the strength of the dielectric in some points, which breaks, eventually forming a bridge for current to flow between the two electrodes. An intense electrical arc is generated causing significant heating to melt a portion of the workpiece and some of the tooling material. As a result, material is removed from both the electrodes. At the same time, the dielectric fluid is heated rapidly, resulting in evaporation of the fluid in the arc gap. Once the current flow stops or it is stopped heat is removed from the gas bubble by the surrounding dielectric fluid and the bubble cavitates (collapses). The shock wave created by the bubble’s collapse and the flow of dielectric fluid flush debris from the workpiece surface and entrain any molten workpiece material into the dielectric fluid. The repetition rate for these discharges are between 50 to 500 kHz, voltages between 50 to 380 V and currents between 0.1 and 500 Amperes. New liquid dielectric such as mineral oils, kerosene or distilled & deionized water is usually conveyed into the inter-electrode volume carrying away the solid particles (in the form of debris) and the insulating proprieties of the dielectric is restored. After a current flow, the potential difference between the two electrodes is restored to what it was before the breakdown, so a new liquid dielectric breakdown can occur. Our modern electrical discharge machines (EDM) offer numerically controlled movements and are equipped with pumps and filtering systems for the dielectric fluids. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining method mainly used for hard metals or those that would be very difficult to machine with conventional techniques. EDM typically works with any materials that are electrical conductors, although methods for machining insulating ceramics with EDM have also been proposed. The melting point and latent heat of melting are properties that determine the volume of metal removed per discharge. The higher these values, the slower the material removal rate. Because the electrical discharge machining process does not involve any mechanical energy, the hardness, strength, and toughness of the workpiece do not affect the removal rate. Discharge frequency or energy per discharge, the voltage and current are varied to control material removal rates. Rate of material removal and surface roughness increase with increasing current density and decreasing spark frequency. We can cut intricate contours or cavities in pre-hardened steel using EDM without the need for heat treatment to soften and re-harden them. We can use this method with any metal or metal alloys like titanium, hastelloy, kovar, and inconel. Applications of the EDM process include shaping of polycrystalline diamond tools. EDM is considered a non-traditional or non-conventional machining method along with processes such as electrochemical machining (ECM), water jet cutting (WJ, AWJ), laser cutting. On the other hand the conventional machining methods include turning, milling, grinding, drilling and other process whose material removal mechanism is essentially based on mechanical forces. Electrodes for electrical-discharge machining (EDM) are made of graphite, brass, copper and copper-tungsten alloy. Electrode diameters down to 0.1mm are possible. Since tool wear is an undesired phenomenon adversely affecting dimensional accuracy in EDM, we take advantage of a process called NO-WEAR EDM, by reversing polarity and using copper tools to minimize tool wear. Ideally speaking, the electrical-discharge machining (EDM) can be considered a series of breakdown and restoration of the dielectric liquid between the electrodes. In reality however, the removal of the debris from the inter-electrode area is almost always partial. This causes the electrical proprieties of the dielectric in the inter-electrodes area to be different from their nominal values and vary with time. The inter-electrode distance, (spark-gap), is adjusted by the control algorithms of the specific machine used. The spark-gap in EDM can unfortunately sometimes be short-circuited by the debris. The control system of the electrode may fail to react quickly enough to prevent the two electrodes (tool and workpiece) from short circuiting. This unwanted short circuit contributes to material removal differently from the ideal case. We pay utmost importance to flushing action in order to restore the insulating properties of the dielectric so that the current always happens in the point of the inter-electrode area, thereby minimizing the possibility of unwanted change of shape (damage) of the tool-electrode and workpiece. To obtain a specific geometry, the EDM tool is guided along the desired path very close to the workpiece without touching it, We pay utmost attention to the performance of motion control in use. This way, a large number of current discharges / sparks take place, and each contributes to the removal of material from both tool and workpiece, where small craters are formed. The size of the craters is a function of the technological parameters set for the specific job at hand and dimensions may range from the nanoscale (such as in the case of micro-EDM operations) to some hundreds of micrometers in roughing conditions. These small craters on the tool cause gradual erosion of the electrode called “tool wear”. To counteract the detrimental effect of the wear on the geometry of the workpiece we continuously replace the tool-electrode during a machining operation. Sometimes we achieve this by using a continuously replaced wire as electrode ( this EDM process is also called WIRE EDM ). Sometimes we use the tool-electrode in such a way that only a small portion of it is actually engaged in the machining process and this portion is changed on a regular basis. This is, for instance, the case when using a rotating disk as a tool-electrode. This process is called EDM GRINDING. Yet another technique we deploy consists of using a set of electrodes with different sizes and shapes during the same EDM operation to compensate for wear. We call this multiple electrode technique, and is most commonly used when the tool electrode replicates in negative the desired shape and is advanced towards the blank along a single direction, usually the vertical direction (i.e. z-axis). This resembles the sink of the tool into the dielectric liquid in which the workpiece is immersed, and therefore it is referred to as DIE-SINKING EDM (sometimes called CONVENTIONAL EDM or RAM EDM). The machines for this operation are called SINKER EDM. The electrodes for this type of EDM have complex forms. If the final geometry is obtained using a usually simple-shaped electrode moved along several directions and is also subject to rotations, we call it EDM MILLING. The amount of wear is strictly dependent on the technological parameters used in the operation ( polarity, maximum current, open circuit voltage). For example, in micro-EDM, also known as m-EDM, these parameters are usually set at values which generates severe wear. Therefore, wear is a major problem in that area which we minimize using our accumulated know-how. For example to minimize wear to graphite electrodes, a digital generator, controllable within milliseconds, reverses polarity as electro-erosion takes place. This results in an effect similar to electroplating that continuously deposits the eroded graphite back on the electrode. In another method, a so-called ''Zero Wear'' circuit we minimize how often the discharge starts and stops, keeping it on for as long a time as possible. The material removal rate in electrical-discharge machining can be estimated from: MRR = 4 x 10 exp(4) x I x Tw exp (-1.23) Here MRR is in mm3/min, I is current in Amperes, Tw is workpiece melting point in K-273.15K. The exp stands for exponent. On the other hand, the wear rate Wt of the electrode can be obtained from: Wt = ( 1.1 x 10exp(11) ) x I x Ttexp(-2.38) Here Wt is in mm3/min and Tt is melting point of the electrode material in K-273.15K Finally, the wear ratio of the workpiece to electrode R can be obtained from: R = 2.25 x Trexp(-2.38) Here Tr is the ratio of melting points of workpiece to electrode. SINKER EDM : Sinker EDM, also referred to as CAVITY TYPE EDM or VOLUME EDM, consists of an electrode and workpiece submerged in an insulating liquid. The electrode and workpiece are connected to a power supply. The power supply generates an electrical potential between the two. As the electrode approaches the workpiece, dielectric breakdown occurs in the fluid, forming a plasma channel, and a small spark jumps. The sparks usually strike one at a time because it is highly unlikely that different locations in the inter-electrode space have identical local electrical characteristics which would enable a spark to occur in all such locations simultaneously. Hundreds of thousands of these sparks happen at random points between the electrode and the workpiece per second. As the base metal erodes, and the spark gap subsequently increases, the electrode is lowered automatically by our CNC machine so that the process can continue uninterrupted. Our equipment has controlling cycles known as ''on time'' and ''off time''. The on time setting determines the length or duration of the spark. A longer on time produces a deeper cavity for that spark and all subsequent sparks for that cycle, creating a rougher finish on the workpiece and vice versa. The off time is the period of time that one spark is replaced by another. A longer off time permits the dielectric fluid to flush through a nozzle to clean out the eroded debris, thereby avoiding a short circuit. These settings are adjusted in micro seconds. WIRE EDM : In WIRE ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE MACHINING (WEDM), also called WIRE-CUT EDM or WIRE CUTTING, we feed a thin single-strand metal wire of brass through the workpiece, which is submerged in a tank of dielectric fluid. Wire EDM is an important variation of EDM. We occasionally use wire-cut EDM to cut plates as thick as 300mm and to make punches, tools, and dies from hard metals that are difficult to machine with other manufacturing methods. In this process which resembles to contour cutting with a band saw, the wire, which is constantly fed from a spool, is held between upper and lower diamond guides. The CNC-controlled guides move in the x–y plane and the upper guide can also move independently in the z–u–v axis, giving rise to the ability to cut tapered and transitioning shapes (such as circle on the bottom and square at the top). The upper guide can control axis movements in x–y–u–v–i–j–k–l–. This allows the WEDM to cut very intricate and delicate shapes. The average cutting kerf of our equipment that achieves the best economic cost and machining time is 0.335 mm using Ø 0.25 brass, copper or tungsten wire. However the upper and lower diamond guides of our CNC equipment are accurate to about 0.004 mm, and can have a cutting path or kerf as small as 0.021 mm using Ø 0.02 mm wire. So really narrow cuts are possible. The cutting width is greater than the width of the wire because sparking occurs from the sides of the wire to the workpiece, causing erosion. This ''overcut'' is necessary, for many applications it is predictable and therefore can be compensated for ( in micro-EDM this is not often the case). The wire spools are long—an 8 kg spool of 0.25 mm wire is just over 19 kilometers in length. Wire diameter can be as small as 20 micrometres and the geometry precision is in the neighborhood of +/- 1 micrometer. We generally use the wire only once and recycle it because it is relatively inexpensive. It travels at a constant velocity of 0.15 to 9m/min and a constant kerf (slot) is maintained during a cut. In the wire-cut EDM process we use water as the dielectric fluid, controlling its resistivity and other electrical properties with filters and de-ionizer units. The water flushes the cut debris away from the cutting zone. Flushing is an important factor in determining the maximum feed rate for a given material thickness and therefore we keep it consistent. Cutting speed in wire EDM is stated in terms of the cross-sectional area cut per unit time, such as 18,000 mm2/hr for 50mm thick D2 tool steel. The linear cutting speed for this case would be 18,000/50 = 360mm/hr The material removal rate in wire EDM is: MRR = Vf x h x b Here MRR is in mm3/min, Vf is the feed rate of the wire into workpiece in mm/min, h is thickness or height in mm, and b is the kerf, which is: b = dw + 2s Here dw is wire diameter and s is gap between wire and workpiece in mm. Along with tighter tolerances, our modern multi axis EDM wire-cutting machining centers have added features such as multi heads for cutting two parts at the same time, controls for preventing wire breakage, automatic self-threading features in case of wire breakage, and programmed machining strategies to optimize the operation, straight and angular cutting capabilities. Wire-EDM offers us low residual stresses, because it does not require high cutting forces for removal of material. When the energy/power per pulse is relatively low (as in finishing operations), little change in the mechanical properties of a material is expected due to low residual stresses. ELECTRICAL-DISCHARGE GRINDING (EDG) : The grinding wheels do not contain abrasives, they are made of graphite or brass. Repetitive sparks between the rotating wheel and workpiece remove material from workpiece surfaces. The material removal rate is: MRR = K x I Here MRR is in mm3/min, I is current in Amperes, and K is workpiece material factor in mm3/A-min. We frequently use electrical-discharge grinding to saw narrow slits on components. We sometimes combine EDG (Electrical-Discharge Grinding) process with ECG (Electrochemical Grinding) process where material is removed by chemical action, the electrical discharges from the graphite wheel breaking up the oxide film and washed away by the electrolyte. The process is called ELECTROCHEMICAL-DISCHARGE GRINDING (ECDG). Even though the ECDG process consumes relatively more power, it is a faster process than the EDG. We mostly grind carbide tools using this technique. Applications of Electrical Discharge Machining: Prototype production: We use the EDM process in mold-making, tool and die manufacturing, as well as for making prototype and production parts, especially for the aerospace, automobile and electronics industries in which production quantities are relatively low. In Sinker EDM, a graphite, copper tungsten or pure copper electrode is machined into the desired (negative) shape and fed into the workpiece on the end of a vertical ram. Coinage die making: For the creation of dies for producing jewelry and badges by the coinage (stamping) process, the positive master may be made from sterling silver, since (with appropriate machine settings) the master is significantly eroded and is used only once. The resultant negative die is then hardened and used in a drop hammer to produce stamped flats from cutout sheet blanks of bronze, silver, or low proof gold alloy. For badges these flats may be further shaped to a curved surface by another die. This type of EDM is usually performed submerged in an oil-based dielectric. The finished object may be further refined by hard (glass) or soft (paint) enameling and/or electroplated with pure gold or nickel. Softer materials such as silver may be hand engraved as a refinement. Drilling of Small Holes: On our wire-cut EDM machines, we use small hole drilling EDM to make a through hole in a workpiece through which to thread the wire for the wire-cut EDM operation. Separate EDM heads specifically for small hole drilling are mounted on our wire-cut machines which allow large hardened plates to have finished parts eroded from them as needed and without pre-drilling. We also use small hole EDM to drill rows of holes into the edges of turbine blades used in jet engines. Gas flow through these small holes allows the engines to use higher temperatures than otherwise possible. The high-temperature, very hard, single crystal alloys these blades are made of makes conventional machining of these holes with high aspect ratio extremely difficult and even impossible. Other application areas for small hole EDM is to create microscopic orifices for fuel system components. Besides the integrated EDM heads, we deploy stand-alone small hole drilling EDM machines with x–y axes to machine blind or through holes. EDM drills bore holes with a long brass or copper tube electrode that rotates in a chuck with a constant flow of distilled or deionized water flowing through the electrode as a flushing agent and dielectric. Some small-hole drilling EDMs are able to drill through 100 mm of soft or even hardened steel in less than 10 seconds. Holes between 0.3 mm and 6.1 mm can be achieved in this drilling operation. Metal disintegration machining: We also have special EDM machines for the specific purpose of removing broken tools (drill bits or taps) from work pieces. This process is called ''metal disintegration machining''. Advantages and Disadvantages Electrical-Discharge Machining: Advantages of EDM include machining of: - Complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult to produce with conventional cutting tools - Extremely hard material to very close tolerances - Very small work pieces where conventional cutting tools may damage the part from excess cutting tool pressure. - There is no direct contact between tool and work piece. Therefore delicate sections and weak materials can be machined without any distortion. - A good surface finish can be obtained. - Very fine holes can be easily drilled. Disadvantages of EDM include: - The slow rate of material removal. - The additional time and cost used for creating electrodes for ram/sinker EDM. - Reproducing sharp corners on the workpiece is difficult due to electrode wear. - Power consumption is high. - ''Overcut'' is formed. - Excessive tool wear occurs during machining. - Electrically non-conductive materials can be machined only with specific set-up of the process.

Automation and Intelligent Systems, Artificial Intelligence, AI, Embedded Systems, Internet of Things, IoT, Industrial Control Systems, Automatic Control, Janz Automation & Intelligent Systems AUTOMATION also referred to as AUTOMATIC CONTROL, is the use of various CONTROL SYSTEMS for operating equipment such as factory machines, heat treating and curing ovens, telecommunication equipment, …etc. with minimal or reduced human intervention. Automation is achieved by using various means including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic and computers in combination. An INTELLIGENT SYSTEM on the other hand is a machine with an embedded, Internet-connected computer that has the capability to gather and analyze data and communicate with other systems. Intelligent systems require security, connectivity, ability to adapt according to current data, capability for remote monitoring and management. EMBEDDED SYSTEMS are powerful and capable of complex processing and data analysis usually specialized for tasks relevant to the host machine. Intelligent systems are all around in our daily lives.

Some of our INDUSTRIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS (ICS) are: - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems : These systems operate with coded signals over communication channels to provide control of remote equipment, generally using one communication channel per remote station. The control systems may be combined with data acquisition systems by adding the use of coded signals over communication channels to acquire information about the status of the remote equipment for display or for recording functions. SCADA systems are different from other ICS systems by being large-scale processes that can include multiple sites over large distances. SCADA systems can control industrial processes such as manufacturing and fabrication, infrastructure processes such as transport of oil & gas, electric power transmission, and facility-based processes such as monitoring & control of heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems. - Distributed Control Systems (DCS) : A type of automated control system that is distributed throughout a machine to provide instructions to different parts of the machine. Contrary to having a centrally located device controlling all machines, in distributed control systems each section of a machine has its own computer that controls the operation. DCS systems are commonly used in manufacturing equipment, utilizing input and output protocols to control the machine. Distributed Control Systems typically use custom designed processors as controllers. Both proprietary interconnections as well as standard communications protocols are used for communication. Input and output modules are the component parts of a DCS. Input and output signals may be either analog or digital. Buses connect the processor and modules through multiplexers and demultiplexers. They also connect the distributed controllers with the central controller and to the Human–machine interface. DCS are frequently used in: -Petrochemical and chemical plants -Power plant systems, boilers, nuclear power plants -Environmental control systems -Water management systems -Metal manufacturing plants - Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) : A Programmable Logic Controller is a small computer with a built-in operating system made primarily to control machinery. PLCs operating systems are specialized to handle incoming events in real time. Programmable Logic Controllers can be programmed. A program is written for the PLC which turns on and off outputs based on input conditions and the internal program. PLCs have input lines where sensors are connected to notify events (such as temperature being above/below a certain level, liquid level reached,… etc.), and output lines to signal any reaction to the incoming events (such as start the engine, open or close a specific valve,… etc.). Once a PLC is programmed, it can run repeatedly as needed. PLCs are found inside of machines in industrial environments and can run automatic machines for many years with little human intervention. They are designed for harsh environments. Programmable Logic Controllers are used extensively in process-based industries, they are computer-based solid-state devices that control industrial equipment and processes. Even though PLCs can control system components used in SCADA and DCS systems, they are often the primary components in smaller control systems. CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service PREVIOUS PAGE
