By Gabe Authier While ICS downtime at the hands of a security solution was once a much more realistic concern, cybersecurity tools are now changing the face of ICS cybersecurity by helping operators remediate issues that could threaten system uptime.

HOOPS Virtual Summits are intended for technology and engineering leaders looking for information about trends in the industry, how to overcome business challenges and learn from partners who have solved specific business challenges.

CUI offers the AMT series encoders with configurable pulses per revolution (PPR). The PPR can be set for most models using the free AMT Viewpoint software (the AMT10-series encoders are configured using DIP switches).

The dual axis linear stepper motor is a complete air bearing positioning system with the motor, the bearings, and the positioning system all built into one compact package. Integrating linear encoders with the stepper motor allows for a hybrid, closed loop positioning system.

These motors now meet the IE5 ultra-premium energy efficiency class defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

LA-9.5 series miniature AC-LVDTs operate from a nominal 3 Vrms, 2.5 - 3.3 kHz excitation source. They are packaged in a 0.375 inch (9.5 mm) OD SS housing with 12-inch leads and are offered with either an imperial or metric threaded 0.110 inch (2.8 mm) diameter core that works in a 0.125 inch (3.2 mm) ID bore.

Aqua America’s existing alarm notification system at the PA facility was experiencing frequent failures, which eventually lead to a catastrophic failure of the entire alarm notification system. Aqua America turned to TopView Alarm and Notification software for their new platform.

The OleumTech H Series Smart Pressure Transmitters (PT’s) are intended for industrial markets including petrochemical, chemical, power, upstream oil & gas, and wastewater.

Artila’s wireless IoT gateway Matrix-702 is a low-power consumption, choice, as a data transmission from wired to wireless network, for various remote monitoring applications.

With the measurement of compressed and non-corrosive gases, it displays three parameters at once by measuring the flow, pressure, and temperature.

Business leaders are often disconnected from their company's functional safety posture in reality. Here are some quick tips to help improve safety culture.

The report Contextualizing Sustainable Development Research, which was produced by Digital Science’s Consultancy Group led by Dr Juergen Wastl, looks at the state of the world’s research on the UN’s SDG’s. It finds that more than 500,000 publications were published in 2019 relating to the 17 SDGs, constituting around 10 percent of the world’s total research output.

We asked a few of the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance founding members why they decided to join, and their answers were insightful.

By Jim Kilmer Combining 5G and edge computing can give manufacturers more from their technology—simply put, better factories and better products

The Seifert Peltier thermoelectric cooling units can be mounted in nearly every position (except roof mounting) because they don't have a compressor or any moving parts aside from the fans.

L-com has introduced a line of RG178 coaxial cable assemblies for use in RF communications, data transmission, wireless communication, GPS systems, security equipment, broadcast equipment and lab applications.

The DSP221 is an extension of the legacy DSP220, by refreshing to the NXP T2081 quad core processor. The DSP221 delivers a solution toward achieving production lifetime.

The embedded board is suited for applications such as medical imaging, video surveillance, 3D simulators, optical quality control, digital signage, kiosks/POI, thin clients, and more.
