Applied Automation
Adaptive control of deep fat fryers
Controlling the temperature of a deep fat fryer and maintaining that control is essential to productivity and that practice can be applied elsewhere, as well. » more
Understanding Process Elasticity
Lessons learned cooking french fries can teach much about process control strategy. » more
Challenges of Motor Selection and Sizing
The range of sizes, types, and configurations of electric motors can seem endless. Here are a few ideas for navigating the choices. » more
Example: Driving a chain conveyor with a gear motor and VFD
If you’re starting from scratch with a new application, you have to determine how hard the motor needs to work to do the job. » more
Can you depend on that sensor?
An instrumentation device that is supposed to keep your process from erupting during an upset may sit there for years if there is no emergency. Will it work when the time comes? Safety sensors can... » more
Upgrading Legacy I/O Systems
When it’s time to modernize, choosing the best I/O strategy and supplier is critical for both new and upgrade projects. » more
Using Modbus for process control, automation
One of the oldest digital communication protocols is also the most popular, and for good reason. You should get to know Modbus. » more
Applied Automation is the premier title serving manufacturing and utilities. Each issue demonstrates how automation, instrumentation and control techniques are applied to increase capacity, enhance design and production, improve efficiency, increase profitability and meet regulatory requirements.
