The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

A data filter is a device, algorithm, or process that removes some unwanted components or features from a data signal. The unwanted component may be random noise (perhaps from mixing turbulence or ...

In recent times, process industries such as chemical manufacturing are facing many of the same challenges as those in the discrete manufacturing space. Increasingly stringent competitive pressures ...

In the information technology world, open-source platforms and software, as an alternative to proprietary ones, have long been commonly accepted. In process controls, not so much. That could be ...

In process automation, an alarm is defined as an audible and/or visible means of indicating to the operator an equipment malfunction, process deviation, or abnormal condition requiring an operator ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLC) save time, money, and energy in process control systems. They simplify systems. A brief history of manufacturing processes sets the stage for how to use modern ICs ...

At the end of February, PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group)—the consortium for open hardware specifications—introduced InterEdge, a modular architecture for process control systems ...

At one time, process historians were simply software packages used to store and present real-time process data. Today, however, historians are being used to do much more. Process historians are being ...

Across the semiconductor industry, both FD-SOI and finFET transistor technologies are in high volume production, with IC manufacturers looking to extend both technologies to gain additional ...

Do you have a real cybersecurity-focused ICS strategy in place, or are you force-fitting IT security policies on your industrial control systems? A recent incident where a likely nation-state threat ...
