In this month's Control Design cover story, Executive Editor Jim Montague explains how to capture the rewards that might be just outside your comfort zone. Also in the August issue: See how a servo-controlled motion solution offers faster scanning and more capabilities for an ultrasonic testing manufacturer; learn what's new in relays and how they're positioned to recapture some attention; and revisit an article from 2001 that shows us just how far we've come in our thinking about whether control and safety actually could, should or would share a network wire.
