Is it necessary to learn all Japanese PLCs? how is the difference?

 It is not necessary to learn all Japanese PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) as each brand and model of PLC has its own unique features, programming language, and capabilities. However, having knowledge of the popular Japanese PLC brands can be beneficial, especially if you work in industries where these PLCs are widely used.


The most popular Japanese PLC brands are Mitsubishi, Omron, and Keyence. Each of these PLC brands has its own programming software, language, and capabilities. Therefore, it is essential to have an understanding of each brand's strengths and weaknesses to choose the appropriate PLC for your project.

For example, Mitsubishi PLCs are widely used in the automotive industry and are known for their advanced motion control capabilities. Omron PLCs are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and are known for their advanced safety features. Keyence PLCs are widely used in the semiconductor and electronics industry and are known for their high-speed processing capabilities.

It is essential to focus on learning the PLC brands that are commonly used in your industry or the ones you have access to. Once you have a solid understanding of one or more PLC brands, it will be easier to learn other brands and models as needed.

It is not necessary to learn all Japanese PLCs, but having knowledge of the popular brands can be beneficial, especially if you work in industries where these PLCs are widely used. The key is to focus on the brands that are relevant to your industry and projects.

PLC Program for Mixing Tank

 Create a ladder diagram for controlling a batch mixing process. Implement a PLC program for mixing tank or Mixing Process using PLC Ladder Logic. PLC Program for Mixing Tank Fig : Mixing tank A tank is used to mix two liquids. The required control circuit operates as follows: A. When the START button is pressed, solenoids A and B energize. This permits the two liquids to begin filling the tank. B. When the tank is filled, the float switch trips. This de-energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to mix the liquids together. C. The motor is permitted to run for 1 minute. After 1 minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C energizes to drain the tank. D. When the tank is empty, the float switch de- energizes solenoid C. E. A STOP button can be used to stop the process at any point. F. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire circuit will stop. G. Once the circuit has been energized, it will continue to operate until it is manually stopped. Solution...

What is Relay? How it Works? Types, Applications, Testing

 We use relays for a wide range of applications such as home automation, cars and bikes (automobiles), industrial applications, DIY Projects, test and measurement equipment, and many more. But what is Relay? How a Relay Works? What are the Applications of Relays? Let us explore more about relays in this guide. What is a Relay? A Relay is a simple electromechanical switch. While we use normal switches to close or open a circuit manually, a Relay is also a switch that connects or disconnects two circuits. But instead of a manual operation, a relay uses an electrical signal to control an electromagnet, which in turn connects or disconnects another circuit. Relays can be of different types like electromechanical, solid state. Electromechanical relays are frequently used. Let us see the internal parts of this relay before knowing about it working. Although many different types of relay were present, their working is same. Every electromechanical relay consists of an consists of an Elect...

Chlorine dioxide Analyzer Principle

 Chlorine dioxide measurement Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an instable, non-storable, toxic gas with a characteristic scent. The molecule consists of one chlorine atom and two oxygen atoms – represented in the chemical formula ClO2. It is very reactive. To avoid the risk of spontaneous explosions of gaseous chlorine dioxide or concentrated solutions, it is generally handled in dilution with low concentrations. ClO2 is soluble in water, but tends to evaporate quickly. Typically it is prepared on site, for example from hydrochloric acid and sodium chlorite. The procedure provides solutions with approx. 2 g/l ClO2 that can be safely handled and stored for several days.
