CONTROL

SYSTEM
 Electrical control
 Can be defined as using
electrical signals such
as current or voltage to
enable or disable or
direct a certain process.

 Types of control
Manual control
Automatic control
Manual Control

 Control is said to be
done manually when a
user performs an
action for the system
to function.
Automatic Control

 Control is said to be
automatic when the
action is performed
automatically in
response to a set of
conditions.
Control System

 Control system is a system

that can sense, switch
and/or control an
operation. It operates on
an input signal and
controls the process to
provides an output signal

Control

 Discrete Control (digital)

 Thevalue to be controlled
can be either ON or OFF

 Continuous Control (analog)

 Thevalue to be controlled
varies smoothly
Types of Controllers

 Relaysand Contactors
 Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs)
 Microcontrollers (µCs)
Advantage of PLC
to Relay
 Reduces the Hardware wiring
 The System can be made compact
 Contact Failure rate is very less
 Speed of operation is very high
 Easy for Trouble shooting
 Reduces the Maintenance cost
 Easier way of Making logics
 Advantage of PLC to Microcontroller
Microcontrollers PLC
PLC has an integrated clear power
supply which gives a precious and
clear power to the PLC processor

PLC has debouncing technology which

will remove the pulsing effect of
switching operations.
Small Current driving
Large current driving ability
ability
Initially developed to replace
control that use mechanical relays

Programmed using Does not require knowledge in

Programming languages programming language. It is
such as assembly, C, basic programmed using Ladder Diagrams

It is specially developed to make it

easy to work with for electricians
and technicians
 Advantage of PLC
to Microcontroller
Microcontrollers PLC
Designed for used in
Designed for industrial
consumer electronics
purposes
system
Most of them use Most work with 24VDC or
5VDC supply 230VAC
Adjustment interfaces
which use opto-couplers for
input and output driving

Consist of an Integrated
Power Supply
