Most industrial facilities include electric motors that require overload relays for protection, control and monitoring purposes. The latest overload relays are often called motor management relays ...

Over the years, control relays of various types have been used by the hundreds — even thousands — to control nearly every function in commercial and industrial processes. Today, many of those ...

Safety is a major concern in a good many motor-driven applications. This is true in industrial applications where motion starts when power is applied and especially true when power is restored after ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...

A single-coil latching relay is a relay with memory, usually with a magnetic structure that provides two stable positions for the armature that holds the movable contacts. A permanent magnet provides ...

An experienced protection and integration engineer can help determine the best configurable relay settings to provide maximum system protection and advanced functionality. Photo courtesy: Emerson ...

Lattice Semiconductor is well-known for its FPGAs. Usually, developers add their own firmware, but the company’s new Lattice Automate provides a more complete solution that incorporates artificial ...

As part of our research for the February 2011 feature story, “Control Vendors Put More in the Box,” Automation World posed a handful of questions via e-mail to vendors of integrated logic and motion ...
