The Hand Prompt Batching Station serves a range of industrial applications where the negative effects of time consuming and problematic manual batching needs to be eliminated.

The EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS is an open, interoperable and future-proof process automation system that is designed to provide control over a manufacturing plant’s operational profitability.

The MCT4 will provide control for applications in various markets including semiconductor, automotive, heat treating, packaging, food & beverage, chemical, HVAC, laboratory, etc. where control, monitoring and/or data logging is required.

Included in this Feedmill Automation System is the control and automation of Batching, Grinding, Material Receiving, Truck Scale and Loadout processes. Two (2) desktop PC’s are provided.

At the core of v16 is the PCM5 controller. It has a touchscreen interface for troubleshooting, fanless cooling, and embedded cyber security that is auto-configured and enabled by default.

This system release leverages enabling technologies to eliminate a complexity barrier for small to mid-sized operations seeking to implement a DCS. By consolidating servers into a single machine, applications can implement the full functionality of a modern DCS.

Applications of these modules measuring 3.000 in. x 3.000 in. include: solenoids, valves, actuators, DC motors, electromagnets, hydraulics, LEDs, power amplifiers for electro-pneumatic proportional valves, and pressure and flow control valves.

In addition to the specification-driven workflow and class warranty, the process engineering with EB 2018 also has rule-based design. Here it can be specified what information is to be passed on from which object to where.

Suitable for applications that use closed-loop control, the PIC18 Q10 and ATtiny1607 MCUs are the CIPs that independently manage tasks required from the CPU.

Users can allocate energy consumption and costs to specific assets and the ABB Ability Electrical Distribution Control System helps them optimize power use by receiving data-driven insights and alerts via smartphone, tablet or PC.

They support system-wide diagnostics, configuration changes and plant expansions during operations as well as the construction of redundant networks.

Based on the measurement of cavity pressure with sensors from Kistler, users are provided with modular functions to support predictive control of the injection molding process. Support, monitoring, control and prediction make Version 2.1.0 of Kistler's ComoNeo a tool for process transparency.

The IntelliCENTER Integration Unit integrates the intelligent electrical devices from an electrical distribution system into the process-automation control and software environment. Integrating both systems into a single control and software platform avoids the need for a separate eSCADA and gives process and electrical operators a single, unified view of their data.

The SERIES C1 is a single-phase, standard control panel that is configured for one or two loops. WATCONNECT control panels integrate Watlow’s process temperature controllers coupled with DIN-A-MITE power switching devices for thermal performance and process temperature control.

With sensing, data is available to the algorithms that power the Electrical Distribution Control System, part of the ABB Ability cloud platform. Updates and alerts sent direct to smartphones and PCs help users to identify demand peaks

SystemLink enables engineers to connect, deploy, and manage distributed systems, both NI and third-party, through a centralized interface accessible from anywhere, making it possible for them to remotely configure and deploy software, monitor the health and performance of their equipment, manage alarms, and visualize application parameters.

Enhancements to the Big Loop workflow within Tempest ENABLE, Emerson’s uncertainty management and history matching module, center on greater connectivity to other IT ecosystems leading to the closer integration of geology and engineering, workflow setup and risk and uncertainty analysis.

Energy management for machine operation and the energy industries creates a range of demands, starting with basic monitoring of the supply network and process control to power monitoring. The EtherCAT I/O terminals from Beckhoff is designed to answer these demands.

The ABB Ability Process Performance Dashboard connects oil and gas firms with ABB’s vast pool of operations experts and advanced data analysis technology.

Red Lion Controls announced additional features for its PXU series of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, including Ramp/Soak, CT Input, 2nd Analog Input and 2nd Analog Output.
