The process of creating a prototype circuit board requires multiple phases and a large number of steps. The process starts with the specification of the design, then proceeds through electrical design (often done with a schematic or similar symbolic notation), into the physical design (layout), manufacture of the printed circuit boards themselves, and culminates in the assembly of these boards. Errors can be induced at any one of these steps.

The smart grid faces a variety of converging challenges that set its future growth apart from past rapid infrastructure developments such as the telecom and information technology industries. In conjunction with the IEEE Technology Time Machine conference in Hong Kong, the following white paper takes a realistic look at the smart grid implementation time-line over the next few decades and beyond.
Co-authored by S&C’s Vice President of Power Systems Services Wanda Reder and NIST National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability George Arnold, the paper not only discusses upcoming challenges, but possible solutions to realizing the world’s need for an adaptive, efficient, and flexible electric power delivery system.
Advanced Features and Application Design Challenges
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how OEM machine designers can benefit from motion control cards in their design.
This paper looks at the different motion control card form factors, their fit into different machine requirements, and how they affect the outcome of a machine design. This paper also examines the interaction between the motion cards and the system architectures to illustrate design trade-offs. Examples of machines that benefit from each form factor include a 3D printer, table top test equipment and a three-stage pick and place assembly line.
Topics include:
• card form factor
• advanced features
• board-level programming of cards
• communication options and affect on system architecture
• design consideration when developing machines using motion control cards
