Modern industrial automation facilities and control systems often require visual indication of actuators, devices, motors, and/or system states. Visual indicators (sometimes called pilot lights) provide the user with a means of easily monitoring the status and activity of a machine, panel, or system. Panel indicators, pilot lights, and their associated components are instrumental for many complex systems to remain functional and accurate.

Types of Panel Indicators and Pilot Lights

Panel indicators and pilot lights are typically available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Common shapes for these indicators include circles, rectangles, hexagons, and squares. The size of indicator chosen will depend on the detection distances required and the space available on a control panel or the enclosure in which it is placed.

The most basic panel indicators are incandescent bulbs. These are rated based on their voltage supply and power draw. Generally, these indicators are powered by AC or DC power, but they may occasionally use steam to actuate the filament.

LED (Light Emitting Diode) indicators are becoming increasingly popular due to their low power consumption and longevity. They are available in many different colors, depending on the application and the light output required. LEDs are also generally more resistant to shock and vibration, making them more reliable in harsh working environments.

Specialized indicators include numerical displays, vacuum fluorescent displays, and fiber optically coupled, color-coded indicators. Numerical displays are generally used in applications where restricted space and easy readability are paramount. Vacuum fluorescent displays use a vacuum chamber and electrons to demonstrate numerical values ranging from 0 to 9 or alphanumeric characters. Fiber optically coupled indicators are used in applications which require the indicator to be remotely located from the power supply or to protect the power supply from exposure to extreme environmental conditions.

The application field of Panel Indicators and Pilot Lights is typically determined by the intended purpose. Indicators can be used for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to: process and system status, maintenance alerts, warning messages, system diagnostics, and more.

The working principle of panel indicators and pilot lights is fairly straightforward. Simply put, they are used to indicate the status or activity of a particular system or device. They are typically used to indicate the system is “on”, “off”, or in some cases they can indicate the system is in an intermediate state. They are usually connected to a controller which processes the inputs, and based on the set-up configuration, will light the appropriate indicator. In some cases, the indicators may be directly wired to input devices such as pressure or temperature sensors, allowing the user to visually keep track of the system status.

Panel Indicators and Pilot lights are very simple in concept, but play a vital role in many automation systems. They provide the user with a constant and easy to read visual feedback, allowing them to quickly and accurately read and react to changes in the system status.
