Main Types of Control Equipment and Automation Level

The type of control system and instrumentation to be selected will depend on its location (e. g., the danger of fire, explosion, pollution, moisture, the conditions of temperature and its variations). The control equipment can be classified as

1. Electromechanical and electronic

2. Data-based control (DDC/PLC)

3. Pneumatic control

4. Mixed electronic-pneumatic system

The level of automation depends on the requirements for the technical op­eration of the attendance system, the need for communication with other pro­cesses and data systems, and the requirements for electrical and pneumatic components and cabling methods.
