  2. Control panel (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_panel_(engineering)

    A control panel is a flat, often vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed or it is an enclosed unit that is the part of a system [1] that users can access, such as the control panel of a security system (also called control unit).

  3. Plugboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plugboard

    A plugboard or control panel (the term used depends on the application area) is an array of jacks or sockets (often called hubs) into which patch cords can be inserted to complete an electrical circuit. Control panels are sometimes used to direct the operation of unit record equipment, cipher machines, and early computers. The array of holes is ...

  4. Programmable logic controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_logic_controller

    Before, control logic for manufacturing was mainly composed of relays, cam timers, drum sequencers, and dedicated closed-loop controllers. [3] The hard-wired nature of these components made it difficult for design engineers to alter the automation process. Changes would require rewiring and careful updating of the documentation.

  5. Industrial control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_control_system

    An industrial control system (ICS) is an electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control.Control systems can range in size from a few modular panel-mounted controllers to large interconnected and interactive distributed control systems (DCSs) with many thousands of field connections.

  6. Control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system

    The control action is the switching on/off of the boiler, but the controlled variable should be the building temperature, but is not because this is open-loop control of the boiler, which does not give closed-loop control of the temperature. In closed loop control, the control action from the controller is dependent on the process output.

  7. Relay logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_logic

    The relay logic circuit forms an electrical schematic diagram for the control of input and output devices. Relay logic diagrams represent the physical interconnection of devices. Each rung would have a unique identifying reference number and the individual wires on that rung would have wire numbers as a derivative of the rung number.

  9. Motor control center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control_center

    A motor control center (MCC) is an assembly to control some or all electric motors in a central location. It consists of multiple enclosed sections having a common power bus and with each section containing a combination starter, which in turn consists of motor starter , fuses or circuit breaker , and power disconnect .
