The development of complex automation systems and machines is a combination of power, data, and mechanical control. The biggest take away from automated system is that it increases productivity, yield, throughput and quality. Industrial automation massively increases the productivity of tasks, processes and overall an entire factory. What used to take many factory workers can now be done in a fraction of the time. With proper monitoring systems managers can make more informed data driven decisions, forecast output with precision and improve operational efficiency (like worker safety) – all in real time and possibly even remotely.
Dynamic represents the products that make it all work. We engineer, design and solve problems from high quality signal transmission, complex sensor applications, data communication networks, and supplying power to the numerous devices that make an automated system work.
Control components are used extensively in industrial equipment and within control cabinet circuits. They are used for processes involving switching, starting, protecting, detecting, monitoring, communicating, and other electro-mechanical functions. Dynamic Measurement and Control provides rugged products for high end industrial applications. Our electrical components are specified when you need the highest grade devices for Precision, Accuracy, and Continuous use.
The operator interface is the display or device that the operator can interface with to diagnose, control and adjust the program, you are interfacing with the controller (PLC/IPC).
Industrial microprocessor-based controller with programmable memory used to store program instructions and various functions.
Remote or distributed I/O are the devices that send and receive input and output signals to/from master electronics like DCS, PLC and PCs.
Safety monitoring is used for error detection and recovery in which the malfunction involves a safety hazard. Safe processes are required when the automated system sensors detect a potentially unsafety condition that would be hazardous to the equipment or human life.
Ethernet switches connect your devices to one another by creating a network. Ethernet to Serial Gateways connect your serial devices to Ethernet and are used to convert between protocols such as Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP.
Converts one type of electrical or mechanical signal (input-signal) into another (output-signal)
Overload protection relays prevent motor damage by breaking the circuit when an electrical overload or a phase failure is detected.
Relays are used to control the power along with switching the smaller current values in a control circuit.
Sensors and limit switches are input devices which determine the presence of something and generates an output. The sensor can provide or convert a signals from one source of energy to an electrical signal and can be called sensors, transducers or detectors.
Disconnect switches rapidly disconnect circuits from power supplies in the event of an emergency
Used to efficiently convert AC voltage into regulated DC power. DC power is used for most industrial control electronics.
MCCB's are UL 489-approved circuit breakers whose current-carrying parts, mechanisms and trip devices are all completely contained within a molded case of insulating material.
Circuit Breakers protect an electrical circuit from becoming damaged by detecting when there is excess electrical current by breaking the circuit to stop the flow of electricity.
Surge arresters offer electrical protection for all devices downstream PLC, the power supplies, the step-down transformer, variable-frequency drives, and the input/output devices
Fuses break the circuit in case of faulty conditions so as to protect the power system equipment and auxiliaries
Transformers transfer electric power from the primary circuit to the secondary circuit
A motor starter provides defense by first controlling the electrical output of your device or equipment at its initial point of operation.
A Contactor is used for switching an electrical circuit on or off
A Contactor is used for switching an electrical circuit on or off
Line reactors help stabilize electrical currents when VFDs and other devices are in use.
Motor drivers acts as an interface between the motors and the control circuits
Motors and motion control are the essential components that make things move and control the positions and speed of a machine.
A terminal block is a modular, insulated block that secures two or more wires together.
Electrical connectors are some form of Plug and Socket combination. These are widely used in making a removable electrical connection. There are various connector systems, but to make a good connection they need to be made from high quality materials (contacts) that have as much mating surface area as possible.
A terminal block is a modular, insulated block that secures two or more wires together.
Mechanical support system used to support electric cables. These rigid structures are used for wires, cables, raceways, and other insulated conductors.
The enclosure is a metal or plastic box which varies in size and is typically made of aluminum, stainless steel or polycarbonate.
Enclosure thermal management devices are used to maintain optimum conditions inside enclosures
Designed to attach and secure the end of an electric cable and the device it's connected to
Accessories for control panel manufacturing. These are some of the basic building blocks for starting a control panel.
Whether you build OEM machines or custom equipment there are areas that either give you headaches or processes you would like to improve. Sometimes these new concepts can be time consuming, costly, or you just can't seem to get it down on paper. Would you like help? We can offer simple advice or full design assistance in many cases.

Dynamic works across many industries and applications so we keep up on the latest standards and industry trends. We know your components need to be extremely reliable for the high speeds and extreme conditions that your machines are exposed to. Keeping your machine "on" is of the utmost importance. Electrical and mechanical systems need to work together in harmony, so you really need to be aware of how things work. Don't cut corners when you are designing, find a partner with profound and in depth knowledge of electrical controls, electronics, and systems. Just by accident many companies end up using electrical components and controls that are not thoughtfully implemented or of low quality.
We have prepared some guides that examine industrial control panel types, electrical control products and the appropriate industry standards you need to follow for machine building.
