This latest release extends its existing Incoming & In-Process Quality Assurance capabilities to deliver Administrative Quality Management. Administrative Quality Management provides a total solution covering Corrective Action and Preventive Action (CAPA), Material Review Board (MRB), and Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS).

The field controller can be used on its own or with a PowerFlex DC digital drive. In stand-alone mode, it provides power to a DC motor field with a fixed reference by using fixed I/O.

Featuring a spiral bevel gear input to an inline planetary gear output, the EPR and PER are available in ratios of 3:1 to 1000:1 and a wide range of sizes and configurations.

Chipkin’s BACnet Stack (CAS BACnet Stack) is a software library that allows users to add a native BACnet interface to embedded devices or applications.

GEIS will be integrated into ABB’s Electrification Products (EP) division, led by EP President Tarak Mehta, as a new business unit called Electrification Products Industrial Solutions (EPIS).

For the Reynold's number, the inertial forces in the numerator are given by the product of mass (density), fluid velocity, and pipe diameter.

These BES R01 flatpack sensors are designed to help to combat the conditions found in welding environments.

The MXL2 with AMP includes two components produced by GE’s Additive Manufacturing Works (AMW) teams in Birr, Switzerland, and Greenville, South Carolina, United States: the first-stage turbine vanes and heat shields.

Powered by Savanna, Zebra’s data intelligence platform, MotionWorks is a portfolio of end-to-end solutions that integrate operational and edge data from multiple sources – including Ultra-Wideband (UWB), UHF RFID tags, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons and cameras – to create insights that mobilize action to solve business needs.

The platform’s connectivity and bandwidth deliver data back to the controller. This helps future-proof control systems for a Connected Enterprise. It is built on a 1 Gigabit architecture with communications supporting Device Level Ring (DLR), linear and star topologies.

The M12B cylindrical microscopy camera, based on the Sony Pregius IMX304 CMOS sensor technology, is a solution for customers requiring high resolution and focus with a larger sensor. Available in both color and monochrome, the 12 MP camera has a 1.1” lens format.

The ADMS will replace the utilities’ legacy Outage Management System (OMS) with an integrated, enterprise OT solution that enables operational decisions based on information from various grid devices and automated meters.

By Phil Ng, Honeywell Process Solutions This article describes how the latest trend in field instrumentation technology and engineering practices – cloud-based tools to improve application validation, instrument selection, and device commissioning – can help improve project results while ensuring the safety and efficiency of industrial facilities.

LA-20.6 series industrial AC-LVDTs operate from a nominal 3 Vrms, 2.5 - 3.3 kHz excitation source. They are packaged in a 0.812 inch (20.6 mm) OD SS housing with 12-inch leads, and are offered with either a metric or unified threaded 0.250 inch (6.4 mm) diameter core that works in a 0.313 inch (8 mm) ID bore.

All three optical sensors are offered in a 2.0mm x 2.0mm 0.5mm QFN package. The TSL2541’s package is made with a special dark compound which makes the device almost undetectable when mounted under inked cover glass.

Suitable for sensor applications including capacitive touch interfaces, the ATtiny3217 and ATtiny3216 have two Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) that enable systems to implement touch control simultaneously with other analog measurements.

By Nick Boughton, Boulting Technology A plug and play device or computer bus has a specification that allows for the discovery of a hardware component in a system without physical device configuration or user intervention. This article explores the growing trend of plug and play technologies.

The Open Group Houston 2018 - Digital Transformation in the Energy Industry - will bring together vendors and end user organizations to discuss the development of standards-based and interoperable architecture, with a particular focus on technical and business issues for process automation.

L-com’s OM4 and OM3, 24 channel, MPO fiber cables handle network throughput up to 100Gpbs (OM4) per fiber channel. Additional features include low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) cable jackets as well as full compatibility with US Conec MTP products.

This three-axis gimbal mount handles loads to 10kg (22.5 lbs) and has a clearance of 300 mm x 300 mm, (11.8 in. x 11.8 in.) around the roll axis stage.
