Automation equipment and systems exist in various industries. Automation equipment mostly refers to devices that complete the same task independently, or devices and components that are placed in a centralized manner. And automation systems include a wider range of equipment clusters, even if the devices or components are not uniformly placed, as long as they complete the same task, they are called an automation system.

Automation is given different names in different situations and industries, such as electrical automation, process automation, power automation, LCD automation, mining and automation, and mechanical automation. The organization and implementation of automation equipment and automation systems are commonly referred to as automation project management.


Electrical automation control with following control and position action control as the main line, such as robotic arms, machining centers, CNC machine tools, injection molding machines, automated assembly lines, and guarantee lines. Operational process control with process parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, composition, etc. as control objectives, such as in the fields of fertilizers, refining, chemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, coking, etc. An automation system for power transmission, distribution, and generation, such as the automation system of power companies and enterprise transmission and distribution departments. Automated systems with control destinations for calcination and smelting, such as iron smelters, cement plants, glass plants, etc. A mining automation system aimed at mining, transportation, and beneficiation, such as mines, coal mines, gypsum mines, gold mines, silver mines, iron mines, tin mines, etc.
Simply put, if the parts or materials used in the production process do not undergo chemical changes in their properties. Products produced by physical or mechanical methods are classified as electrical automation, with electric motors as the main executing mechanism and position and speed sensors as the main sensors.


The products produced by participating in reactions and changing chemical properties or forms through chemical reactions or denaturation reactions belong to process automation. This system has a valve conveyor belt to feed the impeller. Quantitative pumps, spiral feeders, and other actuators are the main sensors, while temperature, pressure, flow, and composition sensors are the main sensors.


The main goals of electrical automation and mechanical automation systems are transmission and positioning, with electric motors as their main executing components. The mechanisms of electrical automation mainly include speed and linear displacement. The detection part consists of sensors such as rotation angle and proximity switch; The execution part that outputs power includes servo motors, stepper motors, linear motors, synchronous motors, asynchronous motors, as well as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and pneumatic hydraulic cylinders.


The overall control system consists of an electrical control cabinet, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a distributed control system synchronous controller, as well as computers, touch screens, buttons, relays, indicator lights, and other devices.


In addition, some transmission mechanisms, such as four, should be provided. Linear guide rails, linear bearings, synchronous belts, chain gears and other auxiliary parts are the overall architecture of the entire automation equipment or automation engineering control.
