“Thanks for reading! Follow Tack Knowledge for more updates.” 📝 Introduction In today’s industrial world, automation is the backbone of productivity and efficiency. Two of the most popular control systems used in automation are PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and DCS (Distributed Control System). But many engineers, students, and plant managers often wonder: What is the difference between PLC and DCS? Which one is better for your application? In this blog, we’ll break down the key differences, applications, advantages, and use cases of PLC and DCS. You’ll also find diagrams and a detailed comparison table to help you decide the right system for your project or plant. --- ⚙️ What is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)? A PLC is a rugged digital computer designed for real-time control of industrial processes like motors, pumps, conveyors, and valves. 🔑 Key Features: Fast response time Suitable for discrete (on/off) control Can be programmed using ladder logic Modular and compact ...

Whether it’s the power you use at home, in factories, or in electronic devices, a transformer plays a key role in regulating voltage. In this blog, we will explore what a transformer is, how it works, the different types, and where it's used. --- ⚡ What is a Transformer? A transformer is an electrical device used to increase or decrease the voltage of alternating current (AC). It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction, transferring electrical energy from one circuit to another without any direct electrical connection. Transformers are passive devices, meaning they do not generate power but only transfer it efficiently. --- 🧪 Basic Principle – Electromagnetic Induction The core working principle of a transformer is Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction...

Ye ek aisa sensor hota hai jo temperature measure karta hai resistance ke zariye. Jab temperature badhta hai, to sensor ka resistance bhi badhta hai. 👉 Iska principle simple hai: > “Temperature ↑ = Resistance ↑” RTD mostly Platinum se bante hain, kyunki platinum ek stable aur accurate metal hai. Sabse common RTD type hai: PT100 💡 PT100 ka matlab: 100 Ohms resistance hoti hai jab temperature 0°C hota hai. Jab temperature badhta hai, resistance bhi increase hoti hai. 📊 RTD Use Kahan Hota Hai? Industrial process control Power plants Food industry HVAC systems Laboratory instruments RTD accurate aur reliable temperature sensing ke liye use kiya jata hai. 📌 RTD ek analog sensor hota hai, jo signal ko microcontroller ya PLC read karta hai. --- ✅ Conclusion RTD ek dependable sensor hai jo temperature ko high accuracy ke saath measure karta hai....
