The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

Most industrial facilities include electric motors that require overload relays for protection, control and monitoring purposes. The latest overload relays are often called motor management relays ...

Over the years, control relays of various types have been used by the hundreds — even thousands — to control nearly every function in commercial and industrial processes. Today, many of those ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

The circuit in the figure provides three levels of speed control for a dc motor, using a PC’s parallel port (LPT1). A C++ program performs the control functions by allowing the signals from the PC ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. According to the research firm IHS Inc., about 54 million relays and timers were purchased in 2013, a number projected ...
