Electronic controllers - Variable frequency drives - Motion control systems - Industrial sensors - PLCs and HMI panels - Power supplies - Switchgear and panel components - Second-hand automation devices

PLCs and HMIs are selected to manage machine sequences and provide an operator interface, while electronic controllers handle specific tasks such as temperature, pressure, timing or counting. For sensors, consider the quantity to be measured, sensing distance and output type.

When choosing variable frequency drives, consider motor type, voltage, rated current and load requirements. For servo systems, stepper systems and gearboxes, assess positioning accuracy, torque, speed and mechanical compatibility together. Select power supplies by output voltage and current capacity, and switchgear and panel components by switching, protection and mounting requirements.

Equipment must have compatible power supply, input/output, communication and operating environment specifications. For second-hand equipment, also review the full model code, product description and any stated test results or condition details.

The existing building automation section covers building control applications such as lighting and HVAC, while the energy systems section provides access to energy applications and renewable energy topics.
