Factory automation (FA) systems use a wide range of communications, from coordinated control between PLCs and sensor ON/OFF signals to synchronized servo motor control and production data collection. However, with so many FA communication standards, including CC-Link, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET, CC-Link IE TSN, and Modbus, engineers often struggle to determine which standard is […]

– Introduction – What is development / design method
I will describe from my own knowledge and my own point of view. These contents are not the best way for all of this. There are various ways according to the situation. Moreover, there may be contents which stick to because they are looking at from their own point of view. I would like to think about a better method and I would like you to tell me if there is any problem.

Electric design 3 How to select power supply and circuit breaker unexpectedly not known
Do not know as it is known, how to select power supply and circuit breaker Selection of power supply is the foundation of equipment and equipment. Depending on this selection, the countries, areas of use, and methods of use are largely restricted. Therefore, let’s think first. The power supply here is a low voltage (AC […]
Electrical design 2 Concept of safety category for maintaining functions
Concept of safety category for maintaining functions Safety categories are named “safe”, so it tends to be confused with “safety”, but it is not. Safe Name of robustness / tolerance level that you can maintain function . The safety category is the degree of “strength of maintenance” of “safety function”. Therefore, the safety function (safety) […]
