High-Performance Connectivity
for Automation Control

Industrial automation is changing the factory landscape with increased safety and productivity as well as cost reductions. This evolution requires faster data transfer rates and higher power distribution. TE Connectivity has the smart, reliable and rugged products that withstand harsh environments while meeting industrial protocols and standards.

INDUSTRIAL PRINTED CIRCUITS (IPCs)
IPCs monitor the state of input devices and make decisions based upon a custom program to control the state of output devices. These devices are able to withstand the harsh environment of a production facility, possessing great processing power and memory capabilities able to host a full-fledged operating system.

PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS (PLCs)
PLCs monitor the state of input devices and make decisions based upon a custom program to control the state of output devices. Inputs include but are not limited to limit switches, proximity sensors, and temperature sensors. There are several PLC types to meet a diverse set of automation use cases. The previously mentioned types include but are not limited to nano-PLCs, medium-PLCs and safety PLCs.

DISTRIBUTION CONTROL SYSTEMS (DCSs)
DCSs supervise and coordinate controllers distributed across a plant, orchestrating process-wide operations. Reliability is paramount; therefore, automation companies provide not only control equipment but also supervisory systems and interfaces as an integrated package.

HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI)
HMIs facilitate human-machine interaction through the usage of tactile buttons and screen. These devices leverage custom software to display production units, allowing interaction with its inputs and outputs.

CNC CONTROLLERS
CNC controllers are industrial computers used to control metal cutting or forming of a work piece by means of a pre-stored program in the systems’ memory. These devices interpret a pre-stored program, initiating response through several functions that range from linear to multi-axes motion.

INPUT OUTPUT MODULES (IO)
IO modules are the building blocks of PLC, DCS, and IPC – based automation, connecting control devices to the outside world. These devices handle discrete and analog signals from sensors, actuators, and other devices. There are several IO modules types that enable automation deployment in several areas. The previously mentioned types include but are not limited to modular IO, slice IO, and block IO.
