Core Device Knowledge Graph in Industrial Control: From Principles to System Integration - Encoders

1. Encoders: The “ruler” for precise position and speed measurement “ 1.1 Working Principles and Classification of Encoders Encoders are key sensors used in industrial automation for measuring position, angle, and speed, widely applied in scenarios requiring precise motion control. Their core working principle is to convert mechanical motion into electrical signals, providing feedback information … Read more

Stop Saying ‘RS485 Communication’! A Comprehensive Guide to Proper PLC and Instrument Dialogue

Stop Saying 'RS485 Communication'! A Comprehensive Guide to Proper PLC and Instrument Dialogue

RS485 is Not a Language, But a ‘Highway’ Let’s use a vivid analogy to understand: RS485: It is like building atwo-way, two-lane highway. It specifies how wide this road is (transmission distance, up to 1200 meters), how many vehicles can run simultaneously (load capacity, up to 128 devices), and the basic rules for vehicle operation … Read more

Three Common Communication Protocols for Embedded Devices

Three Common Communication Protocols for Embedded Devices

Embedded devices need to set parameters during operation, and this task is often implemented by a PC. A communication protocol must be designed for both parties, with three representative protocols as follows: From the table above, it can be seen that the memory and computational performance of general embedded devices are limited, so fixed binary … Read more
