Moving-part logic (MPL) devices are miniature valve-type devices that perform switching operations in fluid logic systems by the action of internal moving parts.

MOVING-PART LOGIC (MPL) CONTROL SYSTEMS

1. What are Moving-Part Logic Devices

Moving-part logic (MPL) devices are miniature valve-type devices that perform switching operations in fluid logic systems by the action of internal moving parts.

MPL devices are typically available as spool, poppet, and diaphragm valves.

These MPL devices can be actuated by means of mechanical displacement, electric voltage, or fluid pressure.

These are miniature-sized valves similar in construction to that of all other pneumatic valves except that they are small and occupy less space.

2. Advantages of MPL Control System

The advantages of MPL control systems over the other control systems are given below:

1. Very small in size and hence occupies less space.

2. Very fast response time.

3. Comparatively low power consumption.

4. Longer life of elements.

5. Can be readily interfaced with electric and electronic circuits.

3. Applications of MPL Devices

The MPL devices are well suited for a wide range of applications in biomedical, environmental test equipment, textile machines, packaging machinery computerized industrial automation, and portable systems.
