Discrete Control
- The Worldwide Market for RF/Microwave Wireless Monitoring and Control Products in Discrete and Process Manufacturing
This white paper is based on a market study completed by Venture Development Corporation (VDC) in March 2008. Covered in the market study are the following RF/microwave wireless products used in industrial monitoring and control applications: • Data Acquisition Systems; • Network Products (access points, I/O devices, modems, repeaters, routers, transceivers); • Operator Interface Terminals (handheld, notebook, tablet, vehicle mount, wearable computers, and PDAs); • Remote control... - GFDM Energy Monitoring Package from Festo
Compressed air is one of the most expensive sources of energy on the plant floor of a modern manufacturing facility. Surprisingly, this is generally not a well-known or accepted fact among manufacturers. However, there are certain steps that can be taken by manufacturers to significantly increase the efficiency and economy of their facilities. If compressed air usage is closely monitored, this could not only result in substantial cost savings but could also reduce machine downtime and improve the life expec... - Process Automation by Siemens Click here for more information

- Considerations for Choosing a Programmable Automation Controler (PAC) by Opto 22
Perhaps you’ve been reading about programmable automation controllers (PACs) and how they combine the capabilities of several traditional control and monitoring systems. (See “Comparing PACs to Other Technologies” on page 3.) As industrial applications become more complex—requiring the integration of multiple systems; incorporating process, discrete, and motion control; providing realtime data to company databases—perhaps you’re thinking PACs could be useful in you... - Software for Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs) By Opto 22
Programmable automation controllers (PACs) meet the complex demands of modern industrial automation applications because they combine features of more traditional automation technologies: programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCSs), remote terminal units (RTUs), and personal computers (PCs). ... - Industrial Wireless Guidebook by Moxa
The latest development in industrial device networking is the adoption of wireless technology for industrial applications. This is a very exciting development with potentially enormous benefits for system integrators and end users. However, many users may have questions about the different technologies that are available and how best to adapt them to specific applications. Other users may wish to gain a basic understanding of wireless technologies and applications but not know where to begin.... - Six Factors to Consider when Upgrading to an Industrial Grade IP Surveillance System by Moxa
The “IP” in IP surveillance is an abbreviation for Internet Protocol, which is the most common protocol used for communication over computer networks and the Internet. An IP surveillance application creates digitized video streams that are transmitted through a wired or wireless IP network to enable monitoring and video recording from as far away as the network reaches. In addition, IP surveillance systems can be integrated with other types of systems, such as access control systems.... - Rugged Operator Interface Terminals Build Versus Buy
Many of the machines and vehicles in daily use in commercial and industrial settings worldwide feature displays and touch pads for operator input and control. These devices are known as Human-Machine Interfaces or HMIs, but are also commonly called Operator Interface Terminals and Mobile Data Terminals....

There are quite a few devices commonly used to measure temperature in industrial applications. Thermocouples, thermistors and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are just a few commonly used devices for temperature measurement applications, like those found in the pharmaceutical or food and beverage industries. Each device has inherent design advantages, but some are better suited for certain applications. Where there may be no right or wrong device for your application, newly designed temperature... - Industrial Wireless Guidebook by Moxa
