THE LEADING MAGAZINE FOR AUTOMATION, POWER TRANSMISSION & MOTION CONTROL
ABC audited
circulation
For more than a quarter of a century, Drives & Controls hasbeen the magazine that readers turn to for news andinformation on the worlds of motion control, automationand mechanical power transmission. We also providecomprehensive coverage of allied subjects such as machinesafety, industrial communications, hydraulics, pneumaticsand sensors.
Drives & Controls is widely regarded as the leading UK publicationin the motion control and automation market. There are severalreasons for this.
For a start, we are part of a small, focussed organisation – ouronly other publications are Hydraulics & Pneumatics, Plant & WorksEngineering, Power Electronics Europe and the recently-launchedOffshore Design & Engineering Equipment – so we are close to themarket we serve, and know it well.
Second, we have built up a reputation for editorial quality andintegrity. Unlike many other technical publications, we do notcharge so-called “colour separation fees” or demand otherpayments for items to be included in editorial sections of themagazine. For example, every item in our comprehensive newproducts section is chosen by the editorial team on the basis of itspotential interest to our readers and on its topicality – not onwhether someone is prepared to pay for it to be included.
Another distinguishing feature is the breadth and depth ofour news coverage of both technological and business issues. Wereport not only on UK developments, but also on news from theglobal automation industry, which inevitably has implications forthe UK market. As well as the wide-ranging news coverage in ourprinted editions, we also carry the latest news on our global Website, often in greater depth than is possible in the magazine.
Then there is our exhibition, which has established itself as analmost unmissable event for anyone wanting to keep up-to-datewith developments in our sector. It has a feelgood factor that ismissing from many other exhibitions that are organised byanonymous groups with no real knowledge of the industry theirshows are targeting.
The Drives & Controls Show is held at the Birmingham NEC,alongside other key industrial exhibitions, including MACH, Air-Tech, Plant & Asset Management, European Offshore Energyand NEW, creating the UK’s major engineering showcase. The event, held biennially since 2006, has established itself as themost important meeting place for the UK manufacturing industry.
Drives & Controls has carved a unique place among Britishtechnical magazines, and we are building and expanding fromthis solid base. We thank those that have supported us so far, andlook forward to working with you again in the future.

DRIVES & CONTROLSEXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE 2016The UK’s leading exhibition for Drives, Automation,Power Transmission and Motion Control Equipment 12-14 APRIL 2016, NEC BIRMINGHAMSince it was first held, more than two decades ago, the Drives & Controls showhas established itself as the leading UK event for motion engineering andautomation, and the only one dedicated to this vital sector of engineering andmanufacturing. Every two years, around 450 of the leading suppliers oftechnologies such as variable speed drives, motors, sensors, programmablecontrollers, mechanical power transmission equipment (including gearboxes,chains, belts, bearings, brakes, clutches and couplings) and test & measurementproducts, gather in Birmingham to exhibit and demonstrate their latestdevelopments. In 2014, the show attracted more than 13,000 visitors during itsthree days. Due to the uptake, we have increased the floorspace by 35% for the2016 event. The show also attracts companies offering services such as machine safety engineering, training, and repairs and maintenance. Contact us now to receive a copy of the 2016 exhibitor’s brochure

� CONTROLS AND HMIs
November/December 2014 www.drivesncontrols.com
HMIs: more than justthe machine’s face
T raditionally, the main reasons forspecifying HMIs as part of a machinecontrol system were to present andto input data, and to visualise themachine or a process. Over the years, sleek,intuitive graphical control interfaces havesuperseded functional keypads, switches,indicator lamps and panel meters.In many cases, machine quality is judgedby the presentation of the HMI. Even if themachine incorporates cutting-edgetechnology, with superlative design,performance and build quality, a poorlyexecuted, counter-intuitive set of operatorcontrol screens, which lack ergonomics andaesthetics, can convey the impression of apoor-quality machine. Worse still, a poorly-designed operator interface can hindere3ciency, rather than boosting productivity.In the age of smartphones and tablets,screen sizes, numbers of colours, pixel countsand graphical capabilities have becomeimportant to users. Although the industrialmarket has not traditionally mirrored thefast-moving consumer market, attitudes arechanging. These “bells and whistles” are nowexpected. This is re5ected in marketing andin the amount of space dedicated to whatmany see as the racier elements ofautomated machines.
As the “quality” of a machine has come tobe judged by its little coloured window,some OEMs are now turning to ergonomicsconsultants and graphic designers. Guidedby input from machine users, these designspecialists are developing the operatorinterface even before the engineers becomeinvolved. The global nature of most OEMbusinesses has also resulted in a shift fromtext-led instructions to intuitive andinstantly-recognisable graphics.
Rich mediaThe latest HMIs – such as Omron’s new NA-series – incorporate capabilities for richmedia, including photos, videos and PDFs,giving operators increased clarity and controlover their machines. It’s fair to say that theHMI has become the nexus of the machine,simplifying even the most complexprocesses. These developments mean that asimple graphical representation of an errorcan link to a video that walks an operatorthrough the recovery process or shows howto replace key components. When in-depthtroubleshooting is needed, PDF manuals canbe displayed, instead of using printouts, thussimplifying maintenance, reducing recoverytimes and boosting productivity.Thanks to the use of standard operating
platforms such as Windows EmbeddedCompact, these media resources can beupdated remotely, easily and securely,ensuring that the interface evolvesconstantly to re5ect the current operationalrequirements.An added bene4t is that the operatingsystem is closed to the user. Compared totraditional industrial PCs, this helps toeliminate the risk of viruses or mis-uses thatcould result in the dreaded “blue screen ofdeath”, while ensuring fast start-ups andretained variables without needing a UPS.These are all factors that users have come toexpect from a modern HMI.HMIs can now deliver crisp, clear, high-resolution graphical representations ofalmost any control element, coupled withfunctions such as trending graphs andaccurate metering. This frees machine-builders to focus on adding value to theirdesigns using other aspects of presentationand visualisation.
Although the connection between theHMI and the PLC is fundamental to the 5owof data, if this data isn’t present in the PLC,then the HMI can’t visualise it. Ethernet-based industrial networks such as EtherCatcan connect all elements of the controlsystem. In Omron’s case, this includes
Today’s control interfaces are designed to bring the technology to life for operators, as well assimplifying diagnostics and maintenance. Karl Walker, automation product marketing manager at Omron, argues that the HMI is now far more than a window into a machine.

� BIG DATA
Living with the cloud:
not all data is the same
The rise of cloud storage is o4ering
companies of all sizes new
opportunities to store, manage and
analyse data – easily, e4ectively and
at low cost. Data management in the cloud
has helped them to cut their in-house systems
costs and complexity, while gaining increased
visibility into plant and processes. At the same
time, third-party service organisations have
emerged to provide data dashboards that give
companies “live real-time control” of their
assets – often from remote locations – as well
as historical trend analyses.
Consider, for example, a company with a
vital asset in a remote location. It may be
advantageous to monitor key operational data
to ensure that the equipment is not heading
for a catastrophic fault, and some performance
data to ensure that output is optimal.
Accessing data from sensors and diagnostics
feedback from onboard control systems might
mean setting up embedded Web servers or
establishing some form of telemetry,
and then getting that data into
management software and
delivering it in a means that
can be acted upon.
It would be much easier
to feed those same
outputs to a cloud-based
data management
provider, and then to
log into a
customised dashboard o4ering visualisation
and control, complete with alarms, actions,
reports and more. And all for a nominal
monthly fee. Furthermore, with almost
unlimited storage in the cloud, all of the data
can be stored, mined, analysed and
disseminated in reports that provide
unprecedented levels of traceability and long-
term trend analyses that can help to boost
performance and, ultimately, to improve
pro6tability.
Background noise
As our data output increases, it might seem
reasonable to expect that the quality of
information being returned from the cloud
should improve as well, allowing us to make
better operational decisions that improve
performance still further.
To an extent, this is true. But there is also
danger on that path because, as we move into
an era of “big data”, it is becoming
increasingly di5cult
to pull meaningful, actionable information out
of the background noise.
Whereas a data analyst might once have
been interested simply in production line
quotas and the link to plant or asset uptime,
today they may also be interested in accessing
the data generated by the myriad of
automated devices on the production line.
That raw data may well hold the key to
increased productivity, reduced energy
consumption, the elimination of waste,
reduced downtime, improved overall
equipment e4ectiveness and, ultimately, a
better bottom line.
And we really are talking about huge
amounts of data. The rise of the Internet of
Things and machine-to-machine (M2M)
communications, combined with the latest
GSM networks that deliver high-speed,
bidirectional data transfer – without the
limitations of range, power, data size and
network infrastructure that held back
traditional telematics solutions – has seen
data transmission increase exponentially in
the last few years. In 2012, more than 2.5
Exabytes (2.5 x 1018 bytes) of data were
being created every day around
the globe, and it is certainly
not unusual for
individual companies
to generate hundreds
of gigabytes of data.
Importantly,
di4erent types of
We are starting to reap the bene$ts of storing
vast amounts of industrial data in the cloud.
But Wayne Warren,
chief technology o#cer at the database mana
gement specialist Raima, argues that we need
to di"erentiate
between live, actionable information and dat
a with ongoing value, and treat them approp
riately.

CIRCULATION ACTIVITY Data provided by DFA Media

* Not registered for ABC audits.
The best objective data on who’s reading a magazine comes from theindependent Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) which every year analyses andcertifies the circulation of many – but not all – trade magazines. Publishershave to meet strict criteria to qualify for an ABC certificate*. Some of them failto achieve these criteria. Others don’t even apply for certification.
A well as showing the total number of copies of a magazine beingdistributed, the ABC certificates also breaks down circulations into “controlled”and “non-controlled”. Non-Controlled. Non-controlled copies can be sent to anyone. ABC doesn’taudit who is getting these copies. Drives & Controls has no non-controlledcirculation. But for some other titles in the industrial press, up to 90% of theircirculation is non-controlled.Controlled. Controlled copies are sent free only to individuals who meet“terms of control” that define their job title or field of activity.ABC breaks controlled circulation down into three categories:n Copies requested by individuals.
n Copies requested for an individual by someone else in an organisation.n ”Non-requested” copies where the publisher has to prove that theaddressee fits the criteria for the target group defined in the terms of control.These non-requested subscriptions may be going to companies that nolonger exist or to individuals who are no longer with a company. For somemagazines, more than 90% of their circulation is non-requested.
The number of requested readerships is therefore an important indicationof who is actually reading a magazine – and who regards the publicationhighly enough to ask to subscribe to it.
Another important factor is when people asked to subscribe. In somecases, it may be three years since a subscriber asked to receive a magazine.They may no longer be with the company or may have moved to anotherposition. The best publishers invest heavily to keep their requestedcirculations up-to-date. Almost 80% of Drives & Controls’ readers have askedto subscribe in the past 24 months and we also have the largest number ofindividually requested subscriptions (15,387) in the design market.
Drives & Controls is the UK’s No.1 engineering design magazine, both for itsquality circulation and its editorial content. Our circulation is ABC audited (see below) and, for the sixth year running, we have kept pole position in thedesign market.
It is important that the advertiser’s message is seen by the specifiers of drives,motors, automation, power transmission and motion control equipment. Drives & Controls is proud to have a magazine that is highly respected andtrusted. The quality and the frequency – 10 issues a year – enable us to reportup-to-date news and views for this fast-moving and dynamic industry.
Justify your marketing spend and get the exposure you have been promised.Our ABC certificate endorses our number one status on individually requestedcirculation in the engineering design market with a total circulation of more than20,000 for the period January-December 2013.
