Today, there are many brands and types of PLC used in the industry. Each PLC has its own advantages and disadvantages. You just select based on your needs and budget. One that is widely used in the industry is Mitsubishi Modular PLC. This PLC possessed special characteristics, namely: components separate into modules, having large-sized, allows for the expansion of the number of input / output and modules.
The advantages of Mitsubishi Modular PLC
Although it is not as popular as the product Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi modular PLCs are still used by many users because it has many advantages, including the following:Reliable memory for storing input data and execution
One of advantages from Mitsubishi Modular PLC is having much more memory and has the ability to store a higher volume compared to products that have the same memory capacity with this PLC. This could speed up the process execution data.Having more numbers I/O modules that are profitable
Other types of PLC is usually have limited numbers I / O modules so that the choice of use Modular PLC is good decision because it has more number of I / O modules more so that it has the capacity to achieve more complex process.Easy in and operating a trouble shooting
Good controller must have the characteristics of easy to operate, and if a problem occurs, the PLC is easy to fix. Easy trouble shooting process is very beneficial because it lowers down time. For long-term use, the PLC is very advantageous because the production process will not be disturbed by the length of the process downtime and trouble shooting.Application of Mitsubishi Modular PLC
There are many application of this PLC whether in industry or home appliance. Several of them are as below:In The Home
- Residential air conditioners Air conditioner for residential purposes of system usually requires only a simple control system, the manual switch combined with room thermostat and timer switches to control the temperature of the room.
