Industrial Process Control: Communication Solutions
Industrial Process Control: Communication Solutions
This webcast will provide an overview on industrial communications and trends in this market segment. It will focus on the most common connection between the process controller and the field instrument/actuator, the 4-20mA loop, and more specifically on the HART communication. A few examples of solutions for both the process controller and the field instrument side of the communication will be given and discussed.

Got my data over the isolation barrier! Now how do I get power to run it?
Got my data over the isolation barrier! Now how do I get power to run it?
“What do you mean I have to isolate this thing?” If you have ever thought your design was done only to find out you needed to isolate data in addition to getting power to the isolated circuits, then this webcast is for you. In this session, we will discuss the pros and cons of the various methods of accomplishing this task while saving important board space, design time and cost.

Solving Isolation Challenges in Power Conversion Applications
Solving Isolation Challenges in Power Conversion Applications
This webcast will present solutions to isolation challenges in power conversion applications. Among the topics to be discussed are the limitations of traditional methods of isolation (such as utilization of optocouplers and pulse transformers) vs. more efficient and cost effective solutions that utilize digital isolators. If you are currently using optocouplers and pulse transformers, this is a webcast you should attend.
