System Integration Channel
Product Exclusive: Integrated PLC and HMIs add more snap-in IO
New Snap-In I/O options, up to 46 analog and digital inputs and outputs, add diversity to Unitronics Vision Series Integrated PLC+HMIs. » more
Control programming: Write once, run anywhere with open systems
With industrial controls, it is extremely difficult to design sophisticated programs for process and even discrete control that run on multiple devices, often requiring simplification. Open systems... » more
Information Control Channel
Inside Machines: Crane Moves with IEEE 802.11n wireless
With the range of motion of industrial gantry cranes (in some cases over a kilometer), wireless Ethernet allows connectivity with moving equipment, avoiding the safety hazards and risk of moving... » more
Process Control Channel
Brushless DC compressor with variable flow at pressure output
Thomas Division has designed a compact, high performance brushless DC compressor, for applications with a higher performance to weight ratio requirement. » more
Decreasing the Cost of Control
One of the most basic ways to reduce the cost of control is to reduce the number of variables. Using advanced process control (APC) can cut down the number of loops required to run a given process,... » more
