What Are Industrial Thin Clients? Part 2/2—The Benefits
Over the past decade, thin clients have become more and more popular in process automation and industrial applications. The trend toward virtualization makes thin clients an especially cost-effective solution as they allow users to access applications and information stored on centralized systems such as servers. Learn more about the benefits of thin clients in this blog post.
What Are Industrial Thin Clients? Part 1/2—How It Works
Explosive atmospheres, harsh environments, extreme temperatures—the process industry places unique demands on the people and technology working in the sector. This also applies to thin clients, as they are known in office applications. Unlike traditional PCs, thin clients run applications on remote servers rather than on the local hardware, and only transmit image information and user inputs over the network.
When Should I Use Which Surge Protector? Four Solutions at a Glance
Whether you control a process with a computer, process control system, PLC, or a field device, a surge protector can eliminate or reduce the risk of damage to sensitive electronics caused by transient overvoltage. In this article, we outline four surge protection solutions.
What Is a Fieldbus Terminator and What Is Its Function?
The fieldbus terminator, also referred to as a terminator, is a component in a fieldbus system. This terminator takes the shape of a series connection featuring a 1 µF capacitor and a 100 Ω resistor. The main task of the fieldbus terminator is to transform the data signal transmitted as a current change into a voltage change that can be detected by all nodes.
