Many power plants have a distributed control system nearing the end of its useful life. Here’s how to determine when to replace it—and how to plan the upgrade project. Power plants were among the ...

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is an important component in most modern automation and process control systems today. It's also susceptible to lightning-induced transients. To verify the ...

Over the past decade, the functionality of different control systems has been merging. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) now have capabilities once found only in distributed control systems (DCSs) ...

While PLCs (programmable logic controllers) are an industry norm, demands for data, memory, and processing power are intensifying. Soon enough, the PLCs may no longer be the go-to industrial computer.

This article is one in an ongoing series about programmable logic controllers and their applications in broadcasting. You can read past articles online at radiomagonline.com. In the last article, we ...

Most industrial engineers are familiar and comfortable knowing that a local, hardened, industrial grade PLC is controlling their process. That’s why control via cloud-based algorithms is, to say the ...

Modular systems from Parker Boiler provide improved performance as compared to one larger boiler, as with these four small boilers. Modern boiler control systems take advantage of cutting-edge ...
