How to Read Analog Signals with Mitsubishi PLC: A Beginner's Guide to Sensor Signal Translation

Many beginners encounter this challenge when working on projects: a temperature sensor measures 25°C, and a pressure sensor measures 3.5MPa. How do these “continuously varying numbers” get transmitted to the PLC? How does the PLC “understand” these signals? In fact, these “continuously varying quantities” are called “analog signals,” which are different from discrete signals (on/off). … Read more

How to Convert and Process Analog Signals with PLCs? Get It Done in 3 Minutes!

Analog signals are the most basic process signals in automation process control systems, such as pressure, temperature, flow, etc. These signals are input forms that are transmitted through transmitters, converting the detected signals into standardized voltage and current signals, and sending these signals in real-time to the controller (PLC). PLCs convert these analog signals into … Read more

The 'Left Hand and Right Hand' of PLC: Digital and Analog Signals, Don't Get Confused

In the world of PLCs, all signals can be divided into two main categories: Digital and Analog. They are the “left hand and right hand” of PLCs in perceiving and controlling the external world, and understanding the difference between the two is crucial. 1. Digital: The Black-and-White ‘Switch’ Signal Core Characteristics: There are only two … Read more

Understanding PLC Analog Signals: Detailed Applications of 0-10V and 4-20mA (Including FX3U Analog Programming)

When designing automation equipment, we often need to monitor and control various pressure sensors, instrument signals, or temperature sensors. Many of these instruments will have analog input or output signals, and we need to use PLCs to read these analog signals and output analog signals to the instruments. What exactly is an analog signal? Some … Read more
