!>Distributed I/O systems create islands of automation
To meet the needs of machine designers and end users, many automation input/output architectures have been decentralized while still delivering performance similar to that of centralized systems. Installed as close to a machine as possible, these newer "island" architectures reduce the time and cost of wiring for sensors and actuators and increase system availability.

Electrical Safety Webcast: You've Completed an Arc Flash Study, Now What?
You've completed an arc flash study. Now what?

You realize the safety concern, business risk and cost of an arc flash incident. You've taken some steps to address it and you've discovered several potential areas in your facility where the hazards are great. But have you evaluated the solutions? Are you aware that you have many options to mitigate high risk areas? An arc flash safety program is more than just compliance to OSHA mandates. It should be a pro-active program that integrates a wide range of solutions into a comprehensive plan to minimize the personnel safety and business risks posed by Arc Flash incidents.

This webcast will provide the framework for a new way of looking at the problem from a broader perspective. We will feature arc flash mitigating techniques ranging from equipment labeling and personnel training, through solutions that reduce the available fault current, shorten fault clearing time, move people away from the arc, redirect the arc fault and even prevent the fault from occurring in the first place. We will also give you a look at the problem from a federal/regulatory viewpoint and we will offer some insights from people at the plant level who grapple with this issue every day.

Register today! If you're busy that day, register anyway and view the webcast on-demand.
