Automation Pymarid ( Only for Education Purposes)

How did I first hear about this Pyramid? It was during my third year in Myanmar when my teachers, Aung Kyaw Nyein and Nyeinkyaw Lwin, introduced this topic. In fact, this concept is like a roadmap for Factory Automation, and that’s absolutely correct. For this summary, I’ll base it on the content written by Realpars. The Automation Pyramid consists of five layers: Field Level Control Level Supervisory Level Planning Level Management Level 1. Field Level This level includes devices such as actuators and sensors. In some texts, this layer is referred to as the Physical Layer. The main idea is that these components interact with the physical world and perform real-world tasks. 2. Control Level This level involves controllers like PLCs and PID controllers, which are essential for automation engineers. These systems control the devices at the Field Level. 3. Supervisory Level The third level includes SCADA and HMI systems, which provide graphical user interfaces. To...

Eisenhower Matrix

The Eisenhower Matrix (also known as Priority Matrix) is a task management tool that helps you organize and prioritize tasks by urgency and importance. There are only 4 tasks! Urgent, Not Urgent, Important and Not Important. You can use this technique based on your experiences in different field. Reference : Asana

MSB and LSB

We can control the parameters with better resolution owing to the MSB and LSB. The most significant bit is denoted by MSB, and the least important bit by LSB. The left-most bit in binary is known as the MSB, because it has the biggest impact on the number. For instance, 0011 would be the Most Significant 4 bits in the binary integer 0011 0101. 0101 would be the four least significant bits. The most significant bit (MSB) and least significant bit (LSB) are mainly utilized in industrial automation for data interpretation, control logic implementation, and communication protocol setting (endianness).

Data Type and Primary Data Type

Data Type and Primary Data Type You will see about that date types if you are from Factory and Industrial Automation or IT field. Many novice programmers have trouble comprehending a PLC's data type. The format of a variable or constant used in a program is referred to as its data type. Data Type is also known as Variable Type as well.  You need to have a thorough understanding of the different kinds of data that PLCs handle while working with them. because it has a direct impact on programming outcomes. A PLC, for instance, requires comparisons to be made using the same data type. It is equivalent to not being able to convert kilograms to meters and compare masses. There are two types of Date Type ; Primary Data Type and Secondary Data Type. But I will only explain about Primary Data Type. I provide the photos of information about them.

Analog Output in Mitsubishi FX3U PLC

Mitsubishi FX3U PLC has the analog output of voltage (0-10V) or current (4-20mA). It features a 12-bit resolution (0 to 4095). That 12-bit resolution means that this digital value is converted by the analog output module into a physical voltage or current signal based on the configuration. The PLC converts digital data with 12-bit resolution into physical voltage through a process called Digital to Analog Conversion. In short form, it is called DAC. In this case, the Register contact AI/AO (M8011) is used as a trigger to activate the WR3A instruction. WR3A uses to write the data to an analog output channel on an FX3U analog module. It is used to write analog values to an analog output channel connected to the FX3U PLC. Reference : Instrumentationtools
