A Clear Introduction to Delta Family PLC

 Delta Electronics is a Taiwanese company that manufactures a wide range of industrial automation products, including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Delta's PLC product line, known as the DVP series, includes several PLC families ranging from small, cost-effective units to larger, more advanced models.


  1. DVP series PLC is known for its user-friendly programming software and high performance. PLCs use the ladder logic programming language and are suitable for small to medium automation projects. Below are some main series of Delta PLCs:
  2. DVP-SS Series: The DVP-SS Series is a cost-effective PLC series offering up to 32 I/O points. Compact and easy to install, these PLCs are suitable for small automation projects. The DVP-SS Series offers multiple communication options including RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet.

  3. DVP-SA Series: The DVP-SA series is a mid-range PLC series offering up to 128 I/O points. These PLCs are suitable for medium-sized automation projects and offer advanced features such as built-in analog inputs and outputs, high-speed pulse counting and position control.
  4. DVP-SX series: DVP-SX series is a high-performance PLC series that can provide up to 512 I/O points. These PLCs are suitable for large automation projects and offer advanced features such as high-speed communication, built-in Ethernet and motion control capabilities.
  5. DVP-SC Series: The DVP-SC Series is a compact and cost-effective PLC series offering up to 128 I/O points. These PLCs are suitable for small to medium automation projects and offer advanced features such as built-in Ethernet, high-speed pulse counting and position control.
  6. The Delta PLC comes with a user-friendly programming software called WPLSoft, which is available for free on the Delta website. The software is compatible with all Delta PLCs and provides useful functions such as emulation mode, debugging tools and built-in function blocks.


Delta's DVP series PLCs offer a wide range of options for small to medium automation projects. PLCs are known for their user-friendly programming software, cost-effectiveness and high performance. The key is to choose the right Delta PLC model, which not only meets your project needs, but also meets your knowledge and experience in automation control technology. It is a good choice.

Ferrules and Cross Ferruling

 Ferrules are identification labels provided for every wire terminations in an instrument, equipment, or electrical/instrumentation control panels. These tube-shaped sleeves can be inserted easily on each individual wire in a multi-core cable. In earlier days fixed digits/letters are used as ferrules, but now Instrumentation engineers/technicians prints out desired ferrules by using a ferrule printing machine. Typical Ferrule The numbers/ letters on the ferrules will be given as per the approved electrical hook up or loop diagrams. This helps technicians to easily identify a particular loop/wiring from a series of terminal blocks and to troubleshoot the desired terminal connection. Separate numbers on the ferrules distinguish the positive and negative polarities of wires, thus ensure the polarity protection of the instrument. Cross Ferruling  As a wire is connected on its both ends, it is quite useful to use a cross reference method for wire identification. Unlike normal ferru...

What is a Torbar? – Averaging Pitot Tubes

 The Torbar is employed for flow measurement of liquids, gases, or steam in circular, square, or rectangular section ducts for large flow rates. The Torbar is an insertion type multi-port self-averaging primary sensor for flow measurement. Torbar TORBAR is a set of Pitot tubes mounted on a bar across the pipeline with no moving parts. An averaging Pitot tube is a technology, while TORBAR is a manufacturing brand name. There are several brands available in the market with VERABAR, ANNUBAR, etc. Averaging Pitot Tube Principle Purpose Averaging Pitot tube can be employed when the average velocity of the flow profile, rather than the velocity in a specific point in the cross-section is desired. Averaging Pitot Tubes Principle It measures the differential pressure between the static pressure tap and the tap of full pressure of a stream. Thus such magnitude of differential pressure is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate. Working The TORBAR is designed in such a way that ...

Dissolved Oxygen Analyzer Working Principle

 What is dissolved oxygen ? Dissolved oxygen refers to oxygen dissolved in water. Its concentration is expressed as the amount of oxygen per unit volume and the unit is mg/L. Biologically, oxygen is an essential element for respiration of underwater life and also acts as a chemical oxidizer. The solubility of oxygen in water is affected by water temperature, salinity, barometric pressure, etc. and decreases as water temperature rises. Measurement of dissolved oxygen by the membrane electrode method The membrane electrode method measures a diffusion current or reduction current generated by the concentration of dissolved oxygen or partial pressure of oxygen to obtain the concentration of dissolved oxygen. This method is not affected by the pH value of water being measured, oxidation and reduction substances, color, turbidity, etc. and the measurement method offers good reproducibility. When a sensor is inserted into water, an air layer forms on the membrane (Teflon membrane). The ox...
