Overview
ABSTRACT
Designed in order to increase the productivity of companies, automated systems can turn out to be complex. These systems are always composed of a control part that elaborates orders and an operative part which ensures that they are executed. This article defines the various notions concerning these industrial systems. Energy chains and their characteristics of use, notably their performance type and machine homogeneity are detailed. The information chain concept is then precised and a classification of automatic industrial systems and automations offered.
Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

INTRODUCTION
Automated systems are designed to improve working conditions and productivity. Depending on the level of their application, they are more or less complex. These systems always include :
a control section which prepares orders according to instructions given by the operator or information received from the operating section;
an operational part, which carries out the actions for which the system has been designed.
Acting on the material requires the use of energy, which is transmitted via power transmission networks.
In the present dossier, we define the various concepts relating to automated industrial systems, focusing our analysis on pneumatic power transmission. Subsequent dossiers will focus on the components of the pneumatic energy chain, sequential and combinatorial automation used in pneumatic power transmission, and finally, the behavior of servo-controlled systems, i.e. pneumatic power modulators.
