Plant Control parts diagram. Numbers match the table below; each box is one top-level part or assembly with what it contains.
#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Bare PCB 2× Unpopulated printed circuit board: copper traces etched on an FR-4 glass-epoxy laminate that carry current between the components later soldered to it.
2 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.
3 Relay 12× 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.
4 Density Meter 2× Inline density
5 Slump Sensor 1× Online rheology
6 Pressure Sensor 4× Line/bed pressure
7 Wire Bundle 1× Field harness
8 Connector 24× 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.
9 Power Supply 1× Unit that converts mains or battery input into the regulated DC voltages a machine's electronics and actuators need.
