1. Hot topics in Control Engineering for 2021
Think Again: PLC programming, AI and control system evolution, the Career and Salary Survey and HMI/SCADA design were among top articles posted on the Control Engineering website during 2021. Why? See also top 3 covers, top 10 articles posted prior to 2021.
2. Introduction to artificial neural networks in control applications
Practical applications of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for control systems, especially for non-linear systems, include simulating time-optimal controllers and for ANN-based controlled system (plant) models. Such models, combined with classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, can enable adaptive and other, more sophisticated, control systems.
3. IT/OT convergence combines industrial and laboratory automation
Teamwork enabled the creation of a large testing lab in just nine months
4. Advancing from industrial automation to industrial autonomous operations
A major controls vendor focuses on industry, uses cloud-based software, artificial intelligence and advanced robotics integration to move customers from industrial automation to autonomous operations.
5. Six critical components of integrated cybersecurity for industrial control systems (ICS)
Examining industrial control system cybersecurity requires looking at audits, access controls, threat detection, risk mitigation, process sensor security and authentication and vendor collaboration.
