Industrial Automation Signal Control Harness Assembly

According to the different devices and machines connected by industrial harnesses, they can be divided into the following types:

Communication harness: used to connect communication equipment and machines, such as telephones, faxes, networks, etc., to transmit voice, images, data and other signals.

Control harness: used to connect control equipment and machines, such as switches, buttons, sensors, etc., to transmit switch quantity, analog quantity and other signals.

Power harness: used to connect power equipment and machines, such as transformers, batteries, motors, etc., to transmit DC or AC current

Signal Harness: used to connect signal equipment and machines, such as displays, speakers, lights, etc., to transmit video, audio, optical and other signals.

Classification by structure: According to the different structural forms of industrial harnesses, they can be divided into the following types:

Parallel harness: a harness in which the guiding wires are arranged in parallel and then wrapped with tape or braid. It has a simple structure and low cost, and is suitable for occasions with large space or low requirements.

Branch harness: a harness in which the guiding wires are separated from a male head to form a tree-like structure. It has a complex structure and high cost, and is suitable for occasions with small space or high requirements.

Ring harness: The guide wire starts from a male head, passes through multiple female heads and then returns to the male head to form a ring-shaped harness. It has a special structure and high cost. It is suitable for occasions that require closed-loop control or feedback.

Classification by material: According to the different materials used in industrial harnesses, it can be divided into the following types:

Copper harness: The guide wire is made of copper or copper alloy. It has good conductivity and corrosion resistance and is the most common harness material.

Aluminum harness: The guide wire is made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. It has the advantages of lightness and low cost, but poor conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Fiber optic harness: The guide wire is made of optical fiber or optical fiber composite material. It has the advantages of high speed and anti-interference, but it is expensive and easy to damage.
