PLC, CNC and Servo Control Systems.
Modern control equipment is often based around the PLC (programmable logic controller) which has superceded conventional
relay logic. The PLC is an electronic unit which can be fitted with a wide range of input and ouput units to control
mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment. It can also be used to read or measure signals from sensors, and give and
receive instructions to an operator via an HMI (human machine interface), principally a keypad and screen. They are
tremendously flexible, powerful and reliable in the extreme.
The PLC can also be configured to interface with servo amplifiers and motors, giving superb motion control. Complex
multi-axis systems can be configured quite easily, with many advanced functions available. The precise control of the
servo system, acceleration, deceleration and speed, means that shock and wear on mechanical parts can be minimised, yet
absolutely repeatable positioning is achieved.
Dedicated CNC (computer numberic control) units are also available for servo motion control.
Merlin Control Systems Ltd can select, install, commission and program PLC equipment for the most complex of tasks.
