Emerson Introduces EDS Mobile
Emerson Process Management introduces EDS Mobile, one of the power generation industry’s first native applications for users of Apple’s iPhone and iPad devices.

Built using the Apple operating system, EDS Mobile technology utilizes standard Apple input gestures such as swipe, tap, drag, zoom and automatic screen orientation.
EDS Mobile is an extension of Emerson’s EDS technology, which provides remote users with a high-fidelity representation of what the operator sees in the control room. More specifically, EDS gathers information from control systems at a single unit or fleet of units, as well as from other enterprise systems, into one place, presenting near real-time data such as read-only process diagrams, alarm lists and trends. Historical data can also be accessed through this remote visualization tool.

Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated
While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
