ISA has published 'Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and Trade Secrets: What Automation Professionals, Manufacturers, and Business Owners Need to Know'.
It discusses designing industrial physical layers, network architectures, and components.
ISA said that the book does the following.
* Educates the reader on the basics of noise, how to mitigate and abate it through installation techniques.
* Shows how to select components that would provide a level of performance needed in a hostile industrial environment.
According to Lounsbury, Ethernet emerged primarily to provide office connectivity to desktop computers and printers.
Office environments are relatively benign with respect to electrical noises and applying the same network in an industrial environment presents the designer and installer with challenges in obtaining an equal or better performance.
* Machine control and data transport - machine control demands reliable data transport to ensure maximum network availability and uptime.
A well-planned and installed network guarantees that the network meets the design objectives, applicable standards, and assures that the network will support the applications for which it was designed, said ISA. Request a free brochure from ISA (Instrumentation, Systems and Aut Soc) ...
