Industrial Control and Automation

01 Typical Requirements for Magnetic Devices in Industrial Control and Automation
Industrial control systems typically have the following characteristics:
7 × 24-hour continuous operation
Complex working environment (high temperature, dust, vibration, electromagnetic interference)
High requirements for power supply stability and anti-interference ability
Emphasize long-term reliability and consistency
In this context, high-quality magnetic devices have become a key component in system design.
Application of Transformer 02 in Industrial Control and Automation
Main application scenarios
Industrial power modules (AC/DC, DC/DC)
PLC and control cabinet auxiliary power supply
Industrial site signal isolation
core function
Electrical isolation: protecting the control system and ensuring the safety of operators
Voltage conversion: providing appropriate voltage for different control and execution modules
Improve system reliability: adapt to industrial grade operating environments
Isolation transformer is an important component in industrial control systems that ensures safe and stable operation.


Application of 03 Inductors in Industrial Control and Automation
Main application scenarios
DC/DC power storage and filtering
Industrial drive system output filtering
EMI common mode/differential mode suppression
Control circuit current stability
core function
Energy storage and current smoothing
Reduce ripple and improve power supply stability
Suppressing electromagnetic interference in industrial environments
Inductance is widely distributed in industrial control systems and is an important basic component for improving the system's anti-interference ability.
04 Collaborative Application in Typical Industrial Control Systems
In practical applications, transformers and inductors usually work together:
Transformers are responsible for isolation and voltage matching
Inductors are responsible for energy storage, filtering, and current control
Both factors jointly determine the stability, noise level, and reliability of the system
This collaborative structure is widely present in industrial power modules, control units, and drive systems.

Main functions include voltage conversion, electrical isolation, energy storage, filtering, and stable current
Is isolation usually required? Usually not required
Typical locations include industrial power supply, control module DC/DC, drive filter EMI
System value security, reliability stability, anti-interference ability
Summary:
Transformers are responsible for "safety isolation and energy conversion",
Inductors are responsible for "current stability and electromagnetic suppression".
The two together form the magnetic foundation for the stable operation of industrial control and automation systems.
06 Development Trends of Magnetic Devices in Industrial Control and Automation
With the continuous improvement of industrial automation level, higher requirements have been put forward for magnetic devices:
Higher reliability and longer lifespan
Stronger anti-interference ability
Adapt to high temperatures and complex working conditions
High quality transformers and inductors are important foundations for building stable and efficient industrial control systems.
