What Is Amplifier? Amplifier is a device that boosts the strength of a signal. In industrial automation, amplifiers are used to enhance the control signals that govern the operation of various components such as motors, valves, actuators, and sensors.
1. Voltage Amplifiers • These amplify control signals by increasing their voltage levels. They are commonly used for driving motors, actuators, and other devices that require voltage-controlled inputs.
2. Current Amplifiers • Current amplifiers boost the current levels of control signals, making them suitable for applications where devices require current-controlled inputs, such as solenoid valves and heating elements.
3. Power Amplifiers • Power amplifiers are capable of amplifying both voltage and current simultaneously, providing high-power output for driving heavy-duty devices like industrial motors and hydraulic systems.
4. Operational Amplifiers(Op-Amps) • Op-amps are versatile amplifiers used for various signal processing tasks, including amplification, filtering, and signal conditioning. They find applications in feedback control systems, instrumentation, and sensor interfaces.
