Intelligence at the Device

Control Engineering, December 2009

Technological advancements such as systems on a chip, multi-core processing and higher levels of integration have led to devices that are smaller, lighter, faster and smarter. These smart devices are bringing industrial applications into a realm of unprecedented product and system performance and efficiency. Building intelligence into devices has also driven diagnostics to the component level. Thus, information from such smart devices must be easily accessible and understood.
Moore Industries Director of Technology Charles Larson discusses the improvements in the software of smart devices that lends to component reliability; even allowing smart instruments to be used in safety applications. Intelligence at the Device features Moore Industries microprocessor-based THZ2 Temperature Transmitter as an example of a smart device with advanced sensing and diagnostic capabilities.
