HARTING has achieved a breakthrough that facilitates the use of connectors and connector-based cable assemblies in electrical control panels, switchgear and other control systems requiring UL 508 certification.
Few industrial innovations have weathered the years as well as heavy duty connectors. What was revolutionary in 1950 is an indispensable part of machine and plant design today. Legacy models continue to serve users remarkably well while the newest ones deliver important additional benefits.
SCADA, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, is a software application used for process control. It is a control system which consists of several components such as software communication equipment, controller network interfaces, and input/output.
Modular freestanding enclosures offer a number of key advantages when compared to
traditional unibody enclosures. Many times these attributes are overlooked either out of
a false perception of increased enclosure costs, reluctance to change, or a simple lack
of awareness to the possible benefits of modular solutions.
As automation becomes increasingly common, the number of sensors and actuators is also increasing – making potential distribution or collection more complex as a result. Assembly times can now be shortened considerably, thanks to the new concept of the PTFIX compact distribution blocks with push-in technology. Available in different numbers of positions and mounting types, the distribution blocks can be used straight away and extended as required.

The two foundations of a digital transformation — the digital twin and the digital thread — offer new ways to trial practices, processes, and product concepts in a virtual environment.These digital experiments allow companies to test safely, quickly, and without costly rework and revisions — helping to enable development…
An aging electrical control system can lead to unplanned downtime and safety risks. When the time comes to replace it, make sure to choose your strategy wisely. Some companies opt to simply replace their legacy system with a newer version of the same technology.
Even if you escaped these, attacks targeting an industry, company or country can cause as much damage, whether the goal is to disrupt operations, gain attention or ransom data.In just the last few years I’ve seen substantial maturing around how food and beverage companies manage cyber risk within their industrial environment.

Are you maximizing your enclosure system? The TS 8 by Rittal combines a closed frame construction, full-coverage and easy to remove panels, and a greater mounting surface to offer you.
In this edition we turn away from our typical industry input poll results to examine national survey results regarding annual pay rates for Control System Engineers based on their years of experience within the field.
As our population grows and consumers continue to rely on technology for both essentials and comfort, the need for power quality has become vital.
Panel Builder & Systems Integrator recently had the opportunity to attend Hannover Messe 2018 to see first hand the future products and solutions being offered within the industry and to learn about the advancements and technology direction of Phoenix Contact. Phoenix Contact is an innovative driver of new technology and solutions that were displayed across an impressive booth that showcased not only new products, but perhaps most interestingly the development of complete control solutions that are revolutionizing the industry.
To keep pace in the machine design industry, companies require a delicate balance of innovation and an ability to get their products to market on time and on budget. Typically, issues with new designs will become apparent during commissioning, once physical prototypes shed light on oversights and errors.
Today, organizations, especially the midsize ones, often find themselves in a quandary. They need to continually increase IT capacity to support new technologies like cloud, analytics, mobility, and social while improving availability, supporting application growth and meeting new customer and business demands at the same time, they must contain operating and capital costs. Something’s got to give. For many organizations, data centers are the engines that drive the growth of the enterprise.
