Control System parts and their functions
7 top-level parts · 14 parts in total · full bill of materials below
| # | Part | Qty | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Basis Weight Sensor | 1× | Non-contact radiometric or beta-gauge measuring areal density of the running web in real time. |
| 2 | Moisture Sensor | 1× | Near-IR or microwave sensor scanning moisture profile across the paper width. |
| 3 | Consistency Controller | 1× | Flow and pump control maintaining fiber suspension density at headbox inlet. |
| 4 | Bare PCB | 1× | PLC/DCS motherboard |
| 5 | Microcontroller | 2× | Single-chip microcontroller combining a processor core, flash memory, RAM, and peripherals such as timers, ADCs, and serial ports to run the device's control firmware. |
| 6 | Relay | 4× | Electromechanical switch in which a small coil current closes or opens contacts rated for a much larger load, isolating control circuits from what they switch. |
| 7 | Connector | 4× | Mating plug-and-socket pair that joins two lengths of wiring or a cable to a board so a circuit can be assembled, serviced, and separated without soldering. |
