An electronic survey of Control Design readers was conducted in April 2013 in order to identify usage and application trends of HMI & industrial PCs among the industrial machine builders that comprise Control Design's readership.
The types of devices preferred by those respondents who do use handheld/portable devices are as follows:
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs) provide viable options for machine control. This Control Design collection explains the differences...
Motion control engineers tend to focus on torque and speed specifications during the design process, but often fail to notice the unique features that differentiate a high-quality...
This white paper describes advantages of using advanced angle sensor technologies and focuses on best practices for correctly implementing non-contact and touchless angle sensors...
