New Improvements to Magnetic Level Gauge Technology Yield Increased Control, Accuracy, Safety and Reliability for Plants that Process and Store Fluids
A brief examination of the latest improvements to magnetic level gauge (MLG) systems will help bring any engineer up-to-date on the hardware that is now available to help improve plant operations. -
Robotics Technology Trends
When it comes to robots, reality still lags science fiction. But, just because robots have not lived up to their promise in past decades does not mean that they will not arrive sooner or later. Indeed, the confluence of several advanced technologies is bringing the age of robotics ever nearer – smaller, cheaper, more practical and cost-effective. -
Hubs vs. Switches: Understand the Tradeoffs
As Ethernet evolved to incorporate twisted-pair cabling and star topology, a repeating hub was necessary in order to connect the various link segments together. With the introduction of switching hubs as a replacement for repeating hubs, network performance was enhanced by breaking up one collision domain into several collision domains. -
Redundancy In Automation
In this paper, we discuss different recovery requirements for redundant solutions, as well as approaches to keeping redundant hardware and software architectures running reliably and at peak performance. The technology related to redundant solutions will also be considered.
