The SDx Connector for OSIsoft serves as a bridge between the two technologies, interfacing historical and real-time data from the PI System into Hexagon’s models to provide plant managers, executives and engineers greater visibility.

The provisioning services enable IoT devices containing the eSIMs to connect automatically to cellular networks. Each of ST’s appointed partner/operators can access hundreds of cellular networks of all types including 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE CAT-M (low-power wide-area connectivity), and NB-IoT (narrowband IoT), in large numbers of territories worldwide.

Advantech’s UNO-247 is a platform that ensures installation with applicability and integration potential. To reduce system downtime and ensure maintenance, the platform’s mechanical design has been improved to enable memory installation/swapping without disassembling the entire chassis.

Each module operates as a standalone Modbus TCP server, and can be remotely configured via a built-in web server.

This virtual reality-based (VR) solution gives personnel simulated hands-on experience to prepare for any plant event, helping them make better decisions regarding operating changes and practice proper procedures before entering potentially hazardous plant areas.

When judging entries for the award, the emphasis will be on the following criteria: degree of technological innovation, benefit for industry, environment and society, economic viability and readiness for implementation.

A non-linear process will have different response across the operating range. It will be sluggish at one end of the range and comparatively faster or even oscillatory at the other.

Within the next few years, literally billions of Internet-enabled microprocessors will provide digital intelligence and connectivity for almost every commercial and industrial product and appliance, extending the Internet into most aspects of our lives.

The PV3 is designed as a solution for companies needing large roll capacity, battery life, connectivity and built-in dispenser functionality.

The size of these Wenglor sensors makes them suitable as drop-in replacements for other rectangular photoelectric sensor brands. Sensing ranges vary from 1200mm for background suppression sensors to 20m for through-beam models.

The first shipping version of groov RIO is the GRV-R7-MM1001-10, a standalone, 10-channel, multi-signal, multifunction I/O unit for signals including thermocouples (TCs), integrated circuit temperature devices (ICTDs), voltage inputs, current inputs, millivolt inputs, discrete DC inputs, self-wetting discrete inputs, discrete DC sinking outputs, and Form C mechanical relays

These applications work to empower engineers and scientists in process manufacturing organizations to analyze, predict, collaborate, and share insights.

With Proficy Operations Hub 1.5 from GE Digital, users can make decisions based on real-time and historical plant-wide application data collected from tools across an organization’s portfolio of data historians and manufacturing execution systems (MES), independent of location.

Passive loopback process simulation will provide a low-cost, first-order approximation of how the plant will react to the software.

This article addresses issues related to the IP portion of the TCP/IP stack as it applies to control networks.

A solution for developers and application engineers, information, such as speed and torque, is sufficient in order to determine the appropriate solution. A list with the most important parameters shows the choices calculated.

In addition to electing its current seven-member Executive Committee, the CMS membership voted to establish a formal Board of Directors at the 35th Coordinate Metrology Society Conference in Orlando, FL in July 2019.

As COO, Salvalaggio will lead overall operations of Applied Manufacturing Technologies services along with sales, engineering, and talent management.
