Hybrid PLC Mechatronics - Chapter 10 Sensors, Safety, Analog and Troubleshooting

Abstract

We now look outside the control panel at devices and methods of design that affect the design of the PLC and the overall project. Included in this chapter are sensors, a separate study of safety of the machine and the operator, machine vision, bar-code and RFID, analog signal acquisition, troubleshooting techniques and diagnostic circuits. Analog signal handling was reviewed and program statements to provide signal conditioning were given.
