Product Description:
An Industrial Control Board PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is the specialized core circuit board within industrial automation equipment. It's designed for harsh environments and critical tasks, integrating components like microcontrollers, memory, power regulators, and various input/output (I/O) ports. In essence, it's the ruggedized electronic "brain" that monitors, controls, and automates machinery and processes in factories, power plants, and other industrial facilities. Common examples include PLC CPU modules, motor drive controllers, and specialized machine automation controllers.
Applications:
1.Factory Automation:Core control for production line gear (conveyors, robotic arms) to monitor and adjust operations.
2. Process Control:Regulate key parameters (temp, pressure) in industries like petrochemicals and water treatment.
3. Power System Control:Monitor power quality and trigger protection in distribution cabinets or smart grids.
4. Smart Manufacturing:ToolsEnable precise movements for CNC machines, 3D printers, and laser processors.
5. Industrial IoT Gateways:Link on-site devices (sensors) to the cloud for data collection and remote commands.
6. Logistics Control:Guide AGVs, warehouse sorters, and port equipment for efficient goods handling.
Main manufacturing process:
1.Design & File Prep:Use EDA software to design circuits, then convert files to Gerber (standard for manufacturing).
2. Substrate Cutting & Cleaning:Cut FR-4 substrate (common for industrial use) to size and clean its surface.
3. Pattern Transfer & Etching:Coat with photosensitive film, expose circuit patterns via UV light, then etch away excess copper to form traces.
4. Drilling:Use CNC machines to drill holes (for component insertion or layer connection).
5. Plating & Solder Mask:Plate holes with copper (to connect layers) and add solder mask (to protect circuits); print silkscreen labels.
6. Inspection & Testing:Check for visual defects and test electrical continuity to ensure functionality.
