By Heike Schmeding, AUMAThis article provides an update on two key issues currently impacting the actuation industry: host system integration and functional safety. It is a key requirement in any plant installation that the actuators used for opening or closing valves can be smoothly integrated with the plant’s automation system.

Industrial Embedded SystemsBy Brandon LewisRather than the discrete, single-function platforms of the past, today's industrial systems are built around multicore processors that are increasingly packing performance into compute equipment. Now, software developers are taking advantage of these multicore architectures with RTOS and hypervisor solutions that enable multifunction, safety-certifiable industrial systems that still retain their deterministic nature.

Design NewsBy Al PresherWhile there is still a need for value-based HMI options and smaller, less expensive screens, the trends are clear including bigger screens, more resolution and colors, and solutions for harsh industrial environments. But the biggest changes come back to the influence of touch technology and a fundamental change in the ways operator screens are designed.
