An alternative methodology for designing multi-loop control structures based on steady-state indexes & multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems.

The PID term as described refers to the loop control technique used in controllers. A PID control loop includes proportional, integral, and derivative functions to control the process.

This two-day, multi-stream, event will be held in collaboration with PDT North America (PDT) at the Marriott Hotel, Tysons Corner, Virginia, USA on May 15-16. The theme for PLM Road Map North America 2018 (PLM Road Map) will be, "Charting the Course to PLM Value Together: Expanding the Value Footprint of PLM and Tackling PLM's Persistent Pain Points."

The MLC 530 SPG (“Smart Process Gating”) light curtains, use a control signal provided by the PLC and the interruption of the protective field itself for bridging to the material transport.

Most current Pro-face HMIs and iPCs are Pro-face Connect ready allowing users to access to their machines remotely to program, troubleshoot, and maintain the unit’s performance.

The U1-050 UCC complies in many directions to overcome misalignment between the tool and the workpiece. The patented mechanism is designed for demanding high-endurance applications and offers simultaneous X-Y lateral compliance, X-Y-Z axis rotation, and Z compression.

The custom CMOS imager features six separate lines of 7.5-micron pixels with two lines each of red, green, and blue pixels. This arrangement makes it possible for the SW-4000TL-PMCL to provide horizontal binning, vertical binning, or both

By Jonathan Wilkins, EU Automation A survey carried out by flavoured syrup supplier, Monin in October, 2017 found that 61 percent of Brits prefer coffee over tea. In a similar vein, this article compares the pros and cons of using traditional programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and newer programmable automation controllers (PACs).

The starter kit is a complement to SPECTRO’s spectrometers and will be provided by Bernd Kraft. By using these certified multielement standards, customers can be certain that their analysis devices are optimally adjusted from the start – a prerequisite for correct analysis results.

At NGK, Boyle will manage the product, catalog and pricing team to further catalog and content efforts for the NGK ignition, NTK sensor and Wells Vehicle Electronics product lines.

In addition to its pair of fiber/copper SFP GbE ports are four conventional GbE ports and two Mini-card slots to accommodate WiFi and 4G LTE expansion. The system’s inbuilt bypass function also ensures that network traffic will continue to flow in the event of software complications or loss of power.

Single-phase MTR2 rolled-steel motors are available in 1800 RPM, 115/230 VAC models. The motors are 56C frame, TEFC, and provide rigid base or C-face mounting. Nameplates include 60 & 50Hz specifications and reverse wiring instructions.

The MesoSPHERE Plasma System is designed for processing of 3D and wafer-level packaging processes such as fan-in, fan-out, wafer-level, and panel-level -handling wafers up to 450mm and panels up to 480mm. The MesoSPHERE's W3 three-axis symmetrical plasma chamber ensures that all areas of the wafer are treated equally and uniformly.

The FT4X was designed to be used in Oil & Gas and Industrial applications. It is suitable for applications monitoring pure gases, mixed gases, and even complex flare gas compositions.

In addition to the redundancy Ethernet networking features the device is equipped with redundant power supply inputs. The RSG907R and RSG909R come with a set of approvals enabling digitalization in Electric Power, Transportation and Oil & Gas markets.

The Industrial Internet of Things is an important advancement, and a real opportunity to increase ROI and asset value. But first, industrial control systems have to be made secure from hackers and cyb

The GOT815L-511 has a 15-inch XGA TFT flat bezel LCD display with 420 nits of brightness. The GOT817L-511 has a 17-inch SXGA TFT flat bezel LCD display with 350 nits of brightness. These touch panel PCs are designed for use in humid or dusty environments.

Each frame size offers a range of interrupting voltage ratings from 240-690 Vac and 250-600 Vdc and are compliant with global standards that include UL 489, CSA C22.2 No 5.1, IEC 60947- 2.

The Area Profile Scanner 3D offers a combination of stereometry, triangulation and different types of illumination according to the specific application: a random pattern illumination of a multi-line illumination

Each TCW210-TH can monitor up to 8 temperature and/or temperature-humidity sensors of various brands and types (up to 24 different parameters each) via either 1-Wire interface and/or the more robust MODBUS RTU over RS485.
