Fluke Condition Monitoring is a cloud-based software platform in combination with electrical, temperature, and power quality monitoring sensors to support condition-based maintenance programs.

The M12 socket contains transformers and all the other necessary components that would otherwise have to take up space on the circuit board - and all in the same size socket as before.

The Digital Grip Force Analyzer Software system from Kitagawa NorthTech serves as a digital tool for safety, process, and service diagnostics, which is designed to help users make their operations smarter, safer, and more efficient.

The diagnostics of the M-LB-5000 with its traffic-light display are designed to minimize testing costs in accordance with EN 62305-3 and allows condition monitoring.

The number of cybersecurity incidents and cyberattacks against industrial networks is growing, and they often go unreported.

The family of modular S80-T80 Liquid Analyzers from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) is designed to provide engineers and managers with the process data they need to obtain and maintain a wide range of global, regional and local quality, environmental, safety and other certifications.

These converters are a choice for board level power distribution applications. Eight models operate from 3.3 and 5.0 VDC inputs, providing outputs of 3.3, 5.0, ±3.3 or ±5.0 VDC.

With the new coupler, users can effectively achieve communication between differing parts of a line on separate networks, increasing transparency and integration.

The Mobrey Hydratect 2462 Water and Steam Detection System is used in a variety of applications where the detection of water or steam is vital for safe and efficient plant operation, such as boilers, steam drums and steam line drain pots.

By Bill Lydon, Editor, Automation.com EdgeX Foundry is an open source project to build a common open framework for Internet of Things (IoT) edge computing and an ecosystem of interoperable components that unifies the marketplace and accelerates enterprise and Industrial IoT.

ControlEdge PLC is the first PLC to be awarded the ISASecure Level 2 certification, which builds on the Level 1 capabilities by providing additional security features such as the confidentiality and integrity of data at rest and in motion, detection of unauthorized changes and additional protection against Denial of Service attacks.

The aim of the project is to increase the field's oil production capacity to 65,000 barrels per day (BPD) from the existing capacity of 22,000 BPD.

The ABB Jokab Safety Pluto safety programmable logic controller (PLC) features a design that enables hot swapping for replacement with the removal of the old terminal caps and a push of a button.

Using EPLAN Preplanning, earlier acquisition and definition of project information and planning – equal parts graphical and database oriented – helps structure, integrate and accelerate all stages of project development, from basic to detailed engineering.

With the M8 D-coded, HARTING now offers a connector that carries power and 100 Mbit Ethernet to the smallest field application.

With the Simosim simulation integrated into the engineering, users can now test their software without connecting any hardware. Program parts are optimized at an early stage of the development phase.

The 11-inch RTC-1200SK is built to withstand rugged environments, operating at temperatures from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)
