An Automation Panel is an electrical control panel designed to house and organize components related to automation and control systems. It serves as a central hub for managing and controlling various automated processes, machinery, and equipment in industrial, commercial, or residential settings.
The brain of the automation system, responsible for processing inputs, executing control logic, and generating outputs to control machinery and processes.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
Touchscreens or display interfaces that allow operators to monitor and interact with the automation system.
Input/Output Modules (I/O Modules)
Interface with sensors and actuators to receive input signals and send output signals based on the PLC's control logic.
Communication Modules
Facilitate communication between the automation panel and other systems or devices, enabling data exchange and integration.
Power Supplies
Provide regulated power to the various components within the automation panel.
Safety Systems
May include safety relays, emergency stop circuits, and other safety devices to ensure safe operation.
Enclosure
Protects the components from environmental factors, dust, and physical damage.
Application
