[Column] Basic Knowledge of Control Panels! Explanation of Typical Device Examples and Component Parts

What role does a control panel play? Here are some representative device examples and components! / Leave application development and ODM board development to Nippo! /

A control panel is a device that houses electrical components and equipment wired together in a box to control machinery in factories or building facilities. It serves the purpose of collectively operating the controlled devices and displaying their status. The components include a metal cabinet, switches, indicator lights, wiring, coolers, breakers, electromagnetic relays (which switch based on received electrical signals), inverters (which control motor speed), and PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers, which control the movement of equipment and machinery according to predetermined sequences and conditions). Examples of typical devices are as follows: ◆ Building air conditioning systems Controls multiple coolers to appropriately manage temperature and humidity within a building. ◆ Factory production lines Controls motors that change the speed of conveyor belts and alerts with indicator lights in case of machine abnormalities. ◆ Elevators Controls the motors that move the elevator up and down and reads and displays the pressed switch.
