Abstract :
Device-level integration through digital communication is the key to unlocking the full potential in the electronic controls being installed in industrial plants today. Users in all industries are seeking solutions that integrate software, hardware and communication technologies to deliver plant-floor benefits such as improved process control and diagnostics and increased reliability. The development and packaging of new technologies in device-level communication and sensing capabilities, along with dedicated software, enable intelligent control architectures to provide both abundant real-time process information, as well as predictive maintenance information to further improve productivity
