Supervisory control and data acquisition – abbreviated as “SCADA” – is a control system architecture that combines high-level process management with remote access to peripheral devices like programmable logic controllers (PLCs). SCADA systems allow facilities to control and monitor their machines and processes and collect and analyze data from a central location.
Aztec Electrical Supply, one of Rittal System Ltd.’s electrical and automation distributors in Canada, has enhanced their enclosure modification capabilities with the acquisition of the Perforex machining centre, which can be deployed for drilling, thread tapping, wiring and milling when machining enclosures and panels of all sizes.
If you’ve ever plugged in or powered up too many things in at once, chances are you’ve managed to “trip” a breaker, causing the power to go out. But have you ever stopped to think about what’s really happening? Just like the breakers in your home, industrial circuit breakers are designed to protect the wiring and equipment that they are connected to, in the event of an overload. Here, we discuss the different types of industrial circuit breakers, how they work, and what they offer.

The recently signed agreement covers the supply of hand-held and stationary high-end infrared cameras and infrared lenses worth several million euros to Dresden-based InfraTec GmbH, to be made throughout 2020. Thermography users around the world benefit from proven technology and application expertise from central Germany.
Transients are extra voltages that are transferred or coupled onto a power circuit. There are many different sources of transients, including lightning electromagnetic pulses, switching electromagnetic pulses, and electrostatic discharge. In this episode of the Control Cabinet Classroom, we discuss this concept and what it means for electrical industry and infrastructure.
