Categories of Industrial Automation Modules

Emerson's industrial automation modules can be classified into the following categories:

PLC and PAC:
PLCs and PACs are computers used to control industrial processes. They are typically used in discrete control applications, such as switching motors or opening valves.
Industrial I/O Modules:
Industrial I/O modules are used to connect PLCs or PACs with sensors and actuators. They provide the function of converting electrical signals into signals understandable by computers and vice versa.
Motion Control:
Motion control systems are used to control the movement of machines. They are commonly used in applications such as controlling robotic arms or conveyor belts in packaging machines.
Automation Software:
Automation software is used for configuring, programming, and monitoring automation systems. It includes SCADA systems, MES systems, and DCS systems.
Industrial Ethernet Switches:
Industrial Ethernet switches are used to connect industrial automation devices. They are designed to operate in harsh environments.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI):
HMIs are used for operators to interact with automation systems. They typically include touch screen displays and keyboards.
Edge Computing and Control Solutions:
Edge computing and control solutions move computing and analytical functions from the central control room to the network edge. This can improve performance and reduce latency.
Safety Control:
Safety control systems are used to protect people and equipment from hazards. They include safety relays, safety door locks, and safety light curtains.
