๐ŸŒก๏ธ PLC ANALOG INPUT

โ€œPLC Sirf ON/OFF Signal Hi Samajhta Hai?โ€

Industrial automation me har signal sirf ON ya OFF nahi hota.

Temperature, pressure, level aur flow jaise parameters continuously change hote hain.

๐Ÿ‘‰ In values ko PLC tak lane ke liye Analog Input (AI) ka use hota hai.

๐Ÿ” ANALOG INPUT KYA HAI?

Analog Input module continuous electrical signal ko PLC ke processable value me convert karta hai.

Common signals:

๐Ÿ”น 0โ€“10 V
๐Ÿ”น 4โ€“20 mA
๐Ÿ”น RTD / Thermocouple signals โ€” suitable input modules ke through
