Importance of electrical and control technology
Electrical and control technology refers to the systems and devices that manage and regulate the flow of electricity in various industrial applications. It is fundamental to process automation, improves efficiency and ensures safe operation of equipment. Developing skills in these technologies is crucial to remain competitive in the job market, as trained professionals can design, implement and maintain advanced electrical and control systems.
Electricity
Electricity technology refers to the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy for use in various fields, such as households, industries and electronic devices. It uses different energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro and nuclear, to produce electricity efficiently and sustainably. It also includes the development of systems and devices that optimise the consumption and management of electrical energy.
Programmable Controlers
An electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control. Such as, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, or DCSs, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
HMI
The space where interactions between humans and machines occur. The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, while the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process.
Industrial Communications
Industrial communication refers to a data transmission system designed to enable communication between field devices, such as sensors, actuators, and controllers, and the monitoring and control systems in industry.
Distributed I-O
Distributed I/O is a system architecture that distributes input/output modules near various field devices and connects them to a central controller (such as PLC or DCS) through a network. Unlike traditional centralized I/O systems, distributed I/O systems distribute I/O functions to various nodes and realize data transmission and control through industrial Ethernet, fieldbus or wireless communication.
Sensors
A sensor is a device, module, machine, or subsystem that detects events or changes in its environment and sends the information to other electronics, frequently a computer processor. With advances in micromachinery and easy-to-use microcontroller platforms, the uses of sensors have expanded beyond the traditional fields of temperature, pressure and flow measurement.
Distribution Panel
Is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.
Motion control
Motion control is a sub-field of automation, encompassing the systems or sub-systems involved in moving parts of machines in a controlled manner. Motion control systems are extensively used in a variety of fields for automation purposes, including precision engineering, micromanufacturing, biotechnology, and nanotechnology.
Electric Motors
An electric motor is a device that turns electrical energy into mechanical rotational energy through the action of magnetic fields generated in its coils. They are electric rotating machines composed of a stator and a rotor.
