‘Distributed Control System’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Safety relays simplify control-system design from
Eaton Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety relays in the Eaton Moeller ESR5 range simplify the design and implementation of control systems that meet safety and reliability standards.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Split roller bearings used on colliery conveyors from
Revolvo: "SRB Split Roller Bearings from Revolvo are being used at the Hatfield Colliery near Doncaster. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Virtalis
- take a look at Virtalis installs immersive visualisation suite
which says: "Virtalis has designed and installed an immersive visualisation suite at Case New Holland (CNH) in Modena, Italy. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Leuze Electronic, Leuze develops data tracking for production line,
as well as SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from SKF UK,
and Riley to distribute pressure-fed shot blasting from Riley Industries.
