- Alternating Current (AC) vs. Direct Current (DC)
- Abstract:Both AC and DC describe types of current flow in a circuit. In direct current (DC), the electric charge (current) only flows in one direction. Electric charge in alternating current(AC), on the other hand, changes direction periodically. The voltage in AC circuits also periodically reverses because the current changes direction.

- SFC (Sequential Function Chats) Overview
- Abstract: The International Electro Technical Commission standard IEC-61131-3 includes something called a sequential function chart (SFC) as a programming language. Existing products, including DCS and PLC programming software and batch control packages, use SFCs to represent executable procedures.

- Thermocouple
- Abstract: A thermocouple is an electrical device consisting of two dissimilar conductors forming electrical junctions at differing temperatures. A thermocouple produces a temperature-dependent voltage as a result of the thermoelectric effect, and this voltage can be interpreted to measure temperature. Thermocouples are a widely used type of temperature sensor.

- HMI Design
- Abstract: There are many ways to develop human-machine interface (HMI) screens for machine and process automation applications. Effective implementation requires discipline in design. The look, feel, and ease of use of an HMI can vary widely given all the tools, object libraries, animations, and colors available with modern HMI software—but there are guidelines to improve HMI effectiveness.

- Introduction: Function Blocks
- Abstract: In engineering disciplines, especially within time driven systems, software languages are often based on function blocks. Examples are languages for programmable controllers [IEC 61131] or simulation environments like Matlab/Simulink [Simulink]. Many commercial software tools in the process industry also use function blocks as program organization units. Despite minor differences the concept of function blocks is the same in all considered function block oriented languages.
