When Running Ethernet Cable Becomes the Problem: Wireless vs Wired Remote I/O Connecting a sensor, instrument or actuator to a control system sounds straightforward—until the required Ethernet cable must cross a roadway, production line, hazardous area or existing facility. At that …
Chemical tank level monitoring gives operators remote visibility of stored liquids across industrial, agricultural and processing facilities. As a result, businesses can improve inventory planning, schedule deliveries and respond sooner when tank levels move outside nominated limits. LevelCon combines compatible industrial …
FUTEK has upgraded its IAA100 and IAA200 strain gauge analog amplifiers to deliver lower noise, improved stability and greater configuration flexibility for force, load, torque and pressure measurement applications. The IAA100 provides a voltage output for connection to data acquisition systems, …
Excessive vibration in industrial plants can lead to equipment failures, reduced product quality, and structural damage. As well as, increased maintenance costs and even complaints from nearby communities. While vibration is a normal characteristic of many industrial processes. Identifying the specific …
A Practical Guide for Maintenance and Repair Teams When a printed circuit board fails, the first question many technicians ask is, “Where are the schematics?” Unfortunately, in many industrial environments, the answer is often the same: unavailable. Whether maintaining legacy manufacturing …
How Low-Frequency Vibration Monitoring Helps Protect Critical Infrastructure Structural health monitoring (SHM) is becoming increasingly important as asset owners seek to improve safety, reliability and maintenance planning across critical infrastructure. Whether monitoring bridges, rail infrastructure, industrial facilities, wind turbines or research …
Ageing bridge infrastructure presents a growing challenge for transport authorities worldwide. Many prestressed concrete bridges built in the 1950s–1970s remain critical parts of road and freight networks today. Often carrying heavier loads than originally intended. Rather than replacing these structures prematurely, …
Industrial maintenance teams are responsible for keeping production equipment running with minimal downtime. When circuit boards fail, troubleshooting must happen quickly—even when schematics are unavailable or equipment cannot be powered safely. Huntron power-off PCB diagnostic tools use Analog Signature Analysis (ASA). …
The BusWorks NTW Series Wireless Remote IO Modules provide a flexible and secure way to connect field signals such as switches, relays, transmitters, and instrumentation outputs to PLC and SCADA systems where Ethernet cabling is difficult or impractical to install. By …
Emergency-response organisations are operating in a very different environment today. Mobile command vehicles, UAV scout platforms, and connected situational awareness systems now play a key role. They help coordinate safe and effective responses across transport corridors, regional communities, coastal zones, and …
