Potentiometer control increases inverter flexibility
The ability to use potentiometer control is useful in hands-on applications where speed must be ramped up/down such as material handling or food/beverage processes.
A potentiometer option is now available for SMVector NEMA 4Xinverter models. The potentiometer option is built into the terminal cover,providing direct front panel access. The potentiometer knob takes the place ofthe up/down buttons on the drive keypad, giving the operator manual speedcontrol over a 0-10 V analog output. The ability to use potentiometer controlis useful in hands-on applications where speed must be ramped up/down such asconveyer or food/beverage process applications.
The SMVector inverter drive still provides features required
by demanding applications including four modes of operation: V/Hz, enhanced
V/Hz, vector speed and torque; plus high starting torque, auto-tuning, advanced
low-speed control and dynamic speed regulation. The potentiometer option
increases the inverter's flexibility and applicability to industrial applications.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
