Operation

Operating or control air compressors are usually started and stopped only from the local control panel. Which has local and automatic functions similar to the main air compressors.

Example of an air compressor local control panel

The compressor start panel has a programmable logic controller (PLC) unit and many selector switches and indicator lights. The PLC modules control the operation and monitoring functions of the compressors and are located inside the start panels. Each PLC unit has a screen and various buttons that allow the operator to connect to the PLC program.
