Fall 2006

Industrial Networking magazine is all about the design and implementation of networked systems in industrial environments. From wirless Ethernet to process buses to device networks, Industrial Networking examines how OEMs, discrete manufacturers, and process plants can begin to take full advantage of networked system architectures in their manufacturing environments.

  • Why users need one twisted-pair bus
    We have a new contributing editor, John Rezabek, taking over the On the Bus column on ControlGlobal.com. Rezabek is a well-known fieldbus expert and process control specialist at ISP Corp. in Lima, Ohio.
  • How to improve network security
    There's no such thing as a 100% secure control system, but learning and understanding the risks associated with security standards, and how to mitigate them are a start. Check out this to-do list.
  • Cordsets survive a great flood
    This case history demonstrates how cabling and connectors simplified networking for engineers at an upstate N.Y. wastewater plant, and aided the plant's recovery following a devastating deluge.
  • Practical methods for protecting industrial networks
    The Fall Issue of Industrial Networking magazine features a cover story that discusses ways process control engineers can protect against potentially destructive attacks on vulnerable networks.

Fence me in: Common-sense security
The Fall Issue of Industrial Networking magazine features a cover story that discusses ways process control engineers can protect against potentially destructive attacks on vulnerable networks.

I/O today, I/O tomorrow
Based on the results of a recent survey, this article takes a look at how users implement I/O today, what they like, dislike, and expect to happen with the systems they’ll use tomorrow.

The only evil
There are two kinds of network security. Real and imagined, and it can be hard to tell them apart, especially if you don't know how they work and the problems they're supposed to solve.

OSI 7-layer model is tough to follow
Today, the implementation of the Open System Interconnect (OSI) Seven-Layer model has taken on different looks as technology strives for real-time performance over the stack.

Cordsets survive a great flood
This case history demonstrates how cabling and connectors simplified networking for engineers at an upstate N.Y. wastewater plant, and aided the plant's recovery following a devastating deluge.
