Panel wiring has always been a source of cost and overruns. It’s important to understand the devices that happen to be in the panel. We have all seen pictures of bad panel implementation where distance tolerances have not been observed. Heat issues, space and reflected or inductive voltages have al…

Control systems may have many types of circuits. The two primary circuits used in process are discrete and analog circuits. Discrete circuits are normally on or off and have a discrete response matching to buttons and switches. Analog circuits may be current based with 4-20 mA or voltage based with…
