The auxiliary relay in a PLC functions similarly to an intermediate relay in traditional relay control systems. While the general auxiliary relay behaves much like an intermediate relay, it has one key difference: traditional relay systems lack a power-off retention feature. These systems are primarily designed for safety, offering under-voltage and voltage-loss protection. In the event of a sudden power failure, the system will not restart automatically when power is restored. However, with PLCs, the relays maintain their previous state after a power interruption, which is crucial in certain industrial applications. For example, in processes involving materials that must remain in motion, such as molten substances or viscous liquids, a power outage could cause them to solidify, leading to blockages or operational issues.
Similarly, the output coils in a PLC cannot be connected in series, just like in conventional relay systems. They are typically connected in parallel. This is due to basic electrical principles: when coils are connected in series, the voltage across each coil may not reach its rated value, causing improper operation. This is a fundamental concept taught in middle school physics, yet it remains essential in industrial automation.
In summary, PLCs offer a wide range of functions and capabilities that go beyond what traditional relay systems can achieve. Many tasks that were once difficult or impossible to implement with relays can now be easily handled by a PLC. It's like turning a complex problem into a simple solution.
Another important feature of PLCs is the stack instruction, which allows for branching logic—similar to sequential control in relay systems. This makes PLCs highly flexible and adaptable for various control applications.
Circular Connectors
Circular connectors, also called [circular interconnects," are cylindrical, multi-pin electrical connectors. These devices contain contacts that transmit both data and power. Cannon (now ITT Tech Solutions) introduced circular connectors in the 1930s for applications in military aircraft manufacturing. Today, you can find these connectors in medical devices and other environments where reliability is essential.
Circular Connectors is designed with a circular interface and housing to quickly and easily connect and disconnect signal, power, and optical circuits. Circular connectors are often preferred in military, aerospace, and industrial applications: these can be connected and disconnected without the use of coupling tools such as torque wrenches. Antenk`s circular connectors offer rugged solutions that have been engineered for reliable performance in a wide variety of harsh environment applications.
I/O connectors provide secure electrical contact and smooth, safe disconnect. They are used across a range of industries for communications devices, business equipment and computers. Top considerations when purchasing I/O connectors include pinout, gender, voltage rating, contact plating, and termination style.
Types of Circular Connectors
Circular connectors typically feature a plastic or metal shell surrounding the contacts, which are embedded in insulating material to maintain their alignment. These terminals usually pair with a cable, and this construction makes them especially resistant to environmental interference and accidental decoupling.
