Machine Monitoring & Equipment Effectiveness

The worst method of operating machines is running them to a point of failure, carrying out repairs and then operating them again. This method, in addition to being overly expensive in terms of lost output is also hazardous to the workspace. Machine Monitoring can give your plant the capability to monitor, control & automate itself according to the changing requirements of the various systems. The concept is the epitome of modern industrial technology and utilized every available resource, hardware & software to ensure maximum uptime & minimum, yet scheduled maintenance.

Importance of Arc Flash Protective Clothing

Are you susceptible to electrical related injuries?
There are a few things no utility worker wants to experience—arc flash is one of them. The phenomenon is described as a sudden, bright, blinding light and heat that occurs as a result of rapid release of energy between two bus bars. The amount of energy released can be realized from the fact that air, which is normally an insulator, becomes a conductor.

Discrete Sensors 101

Discrete Sensors have existed in the automation & control landscape long before the advent of Programmable Logic Controllers, supplementing relay logic. The function of a discrete sensor is to send high/low, on/off or yes/no signals to the controller regarding the quantity of a physical parameter. The obvious benefit discrete sensors had over analog ones was the absence of deadband, detection speed, analog thresholds and other similar complexities.
