Designed to support mature industrial automation, the new-age PLCs by Messung offers solutions for a cornucopia of applications across diverse sectors, for a safer, more efficient and sustainable industrial operations.

In the most basic terms, a Programmable Logic Controller- PLC is used to control the various electro-mechanical processes in manufacturing plants, actuators and for various other automation applications. PLCs are essentially designed to withstand harsh industrial environments and, are therefore, suitable for complex industrial processes, high-performance machines and production lines.

Call it a special purpose digital computer, PLCs are often referred to as reliable controlling systems. They are the robust industrial computers having unique functional features such as timers, controls, hardware, and sequential control. As one of the top PLC manufacturers in India, Messung offers a wide range of world-class PLCs, including the NX-ERA PLC Series, NX ERA Premium.
According to Farook Merchant, CMD, Messung “The advanced PLC system are able to control in a distributed and redundant way, complex industrial processes, high performance machines and production lines”

Applications of PLC-

An industry PLC is used for a wide range of industrial applications for process control, manufacturing production, mobile automation, steel industry, food processing systems paper industry, robotic automation. In addition, the PLC is commonly used in many industries to monitor and control production processes and building systems. The scope of PLCs therefore, is relative to the industry and the technology that has been implemented.

Factory Automation

The fundamental role of PLC is to automate processes by sending programmed control functions to output devices based on the signals received from connected input devices. In effect, a PLC could send command to execute specific function, whether for pressure control, opening of valves, turning on or off a motor to run a conveyor, raising or lowering temperature via heat exchanger, displaying an alarm or status of an HMI screen when abnormal system parameters occur.

Textile

PLCs are extensively used for textile machine automation systems. Whether for weaving, knitting, embroidery or finishing, and even packaging, there are a number of technological advantages of integrating the textile machines with automation systems.
When installed in a control panel of textile machines, manufacturers can benefit from improved quality and higher performance and better safety.
Water & Wastewater Recycling

PLCs enables effective control and administering of chemicals used at different stages in treatment process. It could be the maintenance of PH, water tank levels, regulating the flow of water, quantum of chemicals, alarms and other system information. Efficient PLCs therefore not only enables efficient automated process control solutions that reduce cost and downtime, but also build a sustainable solution for water and sewage treatment plants.

Food & Food Packaging

There is a greater amount of automation that takes place in Food and Food Packaging industry. Flexible automation equipped with a control system to adapt to flexibility to format changes essential here.

PLCs equipped with an open system architecture enables production and packaging systems to be equipped with automation systems. This enables seamless integration of several units such as vision systems, robots, Pick & Place units.

Energy Management
The right automation components enables control and networking of distributed, decentralized energy generation and conversion systems, including contributing to energy management. In controlling and monitoring the load control, PLCs can define, and adjust the energy requirement per unit output; thereby contributing to cost control and building efficiency.


Special Purpose Machines

Metal presses, bending machines, coil processing, folding or punching machines are high productivity machines, specially designed for mass producing the same component, day in and day out. A judicious combination of switches, sensors, logic controls, enables efficiency in operations with minimum supervision.
By having efficient control system, individual processes can be synchronized with one another, so that the productivity increases and “Idle-time” and changeover times are minimized. Besides, regulations and compliances require precision in manufacturing processes-whether temperature, pressure, position, distance or height regulating. Having an efficient PLC ensures higher performance, efficiency and improved quality of machines and equipment


For modern industrial automation processes, PLCs play a vital role and are quintessential part of the control system. As companies look at ways to integrate control systems, and create faster and more flexible solutions, individual processes can be synchronized with one another so that the productivity increases and “idle time” and “changeover times” are minimized. In addition, temperature, pressure, position, distance and height regulation is possible with efficient PLC solutions.

As a leading manufacturer of PLCs for industrial automation & control, Messung has been on the forefront of innovation and development of products and solutions that serve Indian industry while providing high-performance technology at a cost-effective price. As a result, the company offers an expansive range of PLCs for simple to complex industrial applications.
