Automatic Control

 

Automation is typically achieved by motorisation of circuit breakers and therefore turning them into electromechanical devices. These are typically controlled by various applications such as 240VAC Relay Logic, 24VDC Control Units and 4-20mA PLC's. 
Automatic systems vary quite considerably in design, application, and structure, this means that there are various ways of controlling circuits as described above, which can give quite the headache of where to start. Automation enables circuit breakers to become electromechanical devices, which in this case means that the devices can be controlled to open and close automatically, typically controlled via a circuit or controlling device. 
Various systems generally are used by various manufacturers to control these breakers from simple 240V AC relay logic and timers to full-blown SCADA PLC solutions for complete building infrastructure, again to suit the particular application. When devising such a scheme it is proposed to again work out exactly what you want from your system, a brief description of what you want to happen to your system if this happens and therefore why each of your incoming devices is actually present. This can give insight into what circuit breakers you need to control and what processes need to be enabled to do so. Again please contact us for help or more information or guidance on either issue or even commonly used a join Automatic and Manual control issue, to ensure your specification is ElecSpec compliant.
