It is important for standby power systems to function after a catastrophic event, such as
a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, or even a terrorist attack. In particular, critical-needs
facilities—such as hospitals, police and fire stations, emergency shelters, power plants,
airports, government facilities, and communications and operations centers—require
standby power systems that have been specifically engineered to withstand physical
shocks and multi-axis accelerations typical of these disruptive occurrences.
Rising energy costs and concerns about global warming are at the forefront of today’s news. Turn to local or national TV programming, browse the internet or read the paper and one can find numerous stories about the seemingly irreversible energy costs and the subsequent impact that these costs have on simply doing business. As a result, we as individuals are becoming increasingly aware of the cost of energy and we are being introduced to a variety of methods and/or products that will minimize the impact of these costs.
Many automation engineers are coming face to face with real fieldbus applications for the first time. Fieldbus (the use of digital communications networks for distributed instrumentation and control) is a wonderful technology with many benefits, but fieldbus installation requires some additional considerations over and above normal 4-20mA projects. In this article, we will discuss some of those issues, and show you how to deal with them.
