ICE1 Modules with S2 Redundancy: IO-Link Master for High-Reliability Systems

When a machine in a chemical or pharmaceutical plant fails or is in need of repair, the resulting downtimes can last several weeks: Batches must be disposed of and the plant itself must be completely cleaned until operations can resume. Especially in such critical applications, system redundancy is essential for preventing unplanned downtimes and the associated costs.

Common Misapplications of Components in Industrial Control Panels

 

Each component in an industrial control panel must be properly applied for safe and reliable operation. The application requirements for each component are often quite complex and unique to the component, resulting in erroneous interpretation, leading to improper use of the component. We will review some of the most common misapplications of components within the panel. UL 508 switches Listed as a “manual motor controller” are designed to be used for the on/off or manual motor controller function to meet NEC requirements in Article 430, Part VII.
