‘Electrical Safety’
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 Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging from
Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK: "Phil Green, at Parker Hannifin's industrial division, explains how the latest nitrogen-generation technology can help food and beverage companies increase their operational efficiency and cut costs. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Wilcoxon Research
- take a look at Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification
which says: "Wilcoxon Research has announced an additional intrinsically safe certification in accordance with IECEx requirements for six general-purpose accelerometers.".
Take a look also at the news release from SGS SA - Industrial Services, SGS inspects storage tanks at refinery,
as well as Emerson installs controls at Korean plants from Emerson Process Management,
and Maplesoft solution enables fast model development from Adept Scientific.
