Weidmuller is successively developing the open, individually scalable automation solution toolbox, u-mation. This allows digital transformation to be achieved independently of any platform. At the core of this system is u-control, Weidmuller’s innovative IoT controller. The benefit is that its integrated, web-based engineering tool, u-create requires only a HTML5 browser for programming in accordance with IEC 61131-3, allowing machine access from anywhere and with any end device.
In addition, the open web technologies enable freedom of choice with regard to devices and operating systems. Individual requirements can be loaded as additional software onto the controller via an app. Developed according to the principle of ‘security by design’, the system is reliably protected against external access.
As an interface between u-control and the field level, Weidmuller offers the popular, modular I/O system, u-remote. Fieldbus couplers for the most common bus and communication systems, as well as safety modules, provide solutions for a large number of applications. Weidmuller’s intuitive u-view multi-touch panels ensure optimal visualisation based on web technology. Industrial security routers and IoT gateways can be used to ensure secure channels of communication within the factory and into the cloud. Robust industry PCs round off the high performance automation solution toolbox.
The elements of u-mation: u-control, u-create, u-remote and u-view – are all perfectly coordinated, offering maximum flexibility together with the capability to develop perfectly tailored automation solutions.
PC-based control for fertiliser Beckhoff Automation
Editor's Choice Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
On a farm in the USA, valuable ammonia is extracted from slurry and processed into ammonium sulphate. NSI Byosis has transformed this complex process into a flexible modular system. This modular approach requires an automation solution with flexible scalability in both hardware and software, which this Dutch company has found in PC-based control from Beckhoff.

Editor's Choice Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
I was giving a course at a remote mine in the middle of the Namibian desert. We were discussing tuning responses, and as I always do on my courses, I mentioned that in my opinion ¼ amplitude damped tuning is not desirable, and is in fact not good.
