The company was originally incorporated in 1982, as Gibson-Robinson, Inc., as a distributor of operating room products. In 1987, the company name was changed to IMS. The company focused on distributing until 1990, when repair services were added. The company now provides a range of services and products related to operating room efficiency.
In computer programming, instrumentation is the act of modifying software so that analysis can be performed on it. Generally, instrumentation either modifies source code or binary code . Instrumentation enables profiling : [ 1 ] measuring dynamic behavior during a test run.
This is the core of the SCADA system, gathering data on the process and sending control commands to the field connected devices. It refers to the computer and software responsible for communicating with the field connection controllers, which are RTUs and PLCs, and includes the HMI software running on operator workstations.
Instrumentation engineering is the engineering specialization focused on the principle and operation of measuring instruments that are used in design and configuration of automated systems in areas such as electrical and pneumatic domains, and the control of quantities being measured.
A feedback control loop is directly controlled by the RTU or PLC, but the SCADA software monitors the overall performance of the loop. For example, a PLC may control the flow of cooling water through part of an industrial process to a set point level, but the SCADA system software will allow operators to change the set points for the flow.
Instrumentation and control engineering is a vital field of study offered at many universities worldwide at both the graduate and postgraduate levels. This discipline integrates principles from various branches of engineering, providing a comprehensive understanding of the design, analysis, and management of automated systems.
Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) [1]: 3 is a graphical system design and development platform produced and distributed by National Instruments, based on a programming environment that uses a visual programming language.
Embedded instrumentation can perform design validation, test and debug routines that external validation and test technologies cannot. An example of this would be Intel's IBIST technology which can stress and thereby test high-speed I/O buses well beyond the capabilities of traditional testing techniques that are applied through an operating ...
