Why PLC Systems Use 24V DC: The Industry’s Golden Standard

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are at the core of industrial automation. Among all supply voltages, 24V DC has become the global standard. This choice is not accidental—it is the result of careful consideration of safety, stability, electromagnetic compatibility, energy efficiency, universality, and cost-effectiveness. 1. Enhanced Safety Safety is the top priority in industrial environments. 24V […]

Common Instrumentation Wires and Cables in Industrial Automation

1. Introduction Instrumentation serves as the “nervous system” of industrial automation, while cables and wires act as the “blood vessels” that transmit signals and energy. Proper selection and installation of cables directly affect the stability, accuracy, and reliability of measurement systems.This document introduces four commonly used types of instrumentation cables and provides engineering recommendations. 2.

Do Capillary Tubes of Differential Pressure (Dual-Flange) Transmitters Require Thermal Insulation?

1. General Principle – Insulation Not Always Required Under normal environmental conditions, the fill fluid inside the dual-flange capillary (commonly silicone oil) has sufficient temperature tolerance. It can adapt to routine ambient variations without additional thermal protection. In such cases, thermal insulation is not mandatory, reducing both cost and maintenance workload. 2. Situations Where Insulation

Should Emergency Stop Button Covers Be Locked or Sealed?

In industrial safety and control systems, emergency stop (E-stop) buttons play a critical role in protecting personnel and equipment from harm in the event of an urgent situation. E-stop buttons, often featuring protective covers, are designed to halt machinery immediately when pressed. Whether or not these protective covers should be locked or sealed is a

Emergency Instrumentation Work Under the “Operate First, Ticket Later” Policy — Guidelines for Correct Implementation

1. Background and Rationale Under the principle of “No Work Without a Permit,” field instrumentation personnel often face a dilemma in emergency scenarios: Should they strictly wait for the completion of permit approval before starting work, or Take immediate action to mitigate the risk and potentially violate the rules? Since the introduction of the Work

Differences Between NAMUR NE 43 and NAMUR NE 107

1. Introduction NAMUR (Normenarbeitsgemeinschaft für Mess- und Regeltechnik in der Chemischen Industrie) is a leading German user association that develops important guidelines for process automation. Among its many recommendations, NE 43 and NE 107 are particularly influential in device diagnostics and health monitoring. Although both aim to improve reliability and safety in process industries, they

Common 4–20 mA Output Chips for Industrial Applications

1. Introduction In industrial automation systems, especially in power plants and petrochemical industries, the 4–20 mA current loop remains the most widely adopted standard for analog signal transmission. Compared with voltage signals (e.g., 0–10 V), the 4–20 mA signal offers superior noise immunity, long-distance transmission capability, and inherent safety, making it the preferred choice in
