The top 5 most read articles online, from Sept. 26 to Oct. 2 for Control Engineering, small-scale automation projects, SIF validation procedures, motor efficiency standards, wireless remote monitoring advances, and measuring humidity fundamentals. Link to each article below.
1. Small-scale automation projects
How to get past time, money, and resource issues when executing small projects and specifying automation equipment and components.
2. Creating SIF validation procedures
Implementing safety system validation as part of the safety lifecycle is defined by IEC 61511 and ANSI/ISA-S84.01. Here’s how it’s done.
3. New regulations will improve energy efficiency beyond existing motor efficiency standards
While motor efficiency regulations may make the news, many other energy conservation standards are involved in similar rulemaking processes. These new and updated regulations will have a strong affect on the automation industry, particularly for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users.
4. Advances in wireless remote monitoring
Wireless monitoring is helping users solve problems by integrating new and existing technologies across a common infrastructure to get data into the hands of those who need it—securely.
5. Fundamentals of measuring humidity
Measuring and controlling water vapor in industrial systems is critical. Temperature and pressure affect the physical behavior of materials and systems, while water vapor can also affect their chemistry.
