Top 5 Control Engineering content over the past week covered the Career and Salary Survey, good and bad PID tuning, improving SCADA systems and more. Links to each article below.
1. Results are in: Control Engineering Career and Salary Survey, 2024
Benefits and salaries increased. Leading automation technologies help resolve economic challenges and workforce shortages.
2. PID spotlight, part 5: What does good and bad controller tuning look like?
PID controllers have visual cues that you can use to identify performance problems. Improperly set controller gain, integral, and derivative offer unique patterns that you can use to guide your efforts to improve controller performance. See seven takeaways for better PID tuning.
3. Improve SCADA systems by analyzing alarm system health
Alarming is fundamental to a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. However, its effectiveness is lost when it is implemented poorly. Improve the alarm system to improve the system’s operation.
4. Deploying custom HMIs with the right development tool
Selecting an HMI development tool with the right features helps developers speed up their process and minimize errors.
5. Understanding edge technology complexities and choosing the right device
Users should make sure the edge technology they choose fits their application and can withstand modern manufacturing’s many challenges. Fourteen capabilities an ideal edge device should have are highlighted.
The list was developed using CFE Media’s web analytics for stories viewed on controleng.com, July 8-14, 2024, for articles published within the last two months.
