Come see AutomationDirect at National Manufacturing Week in Chicago
AutomationDirect is 10 years old this year, and we’d like you to come help us celebrate!
We’re having a party at National Manufacturing Week, Feb. 23-26, 2004, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, to thank everyone who helped us achieve this milestone. We invite you to drop by Booth 5611 and meet some of our team members, including company president Tim Hohmann, who have worked to give you outstanding service through the years. Join us for technical demonstrations, and see displays and literature for new products, including Fuji Electric motor controls, Marathon MicroMax motors, relays, signal conditioners, new networking modules for our DL05 and DL06 PLC lines, and more. We’ll also be presenting product overviews in our seminar area throughout the week. And the best part – free food! Stop at the Hospitality Desk for A.M. wake-up coffee and brownies, and P.M. popcorn and a refreshing glass of water. Remember, Booth 5611 – see you there!

What's all the buzz about eBay?
I'll have to admit that I've never personally tried selling or
buying anything on eBay. I know, I know...for someone who lives
and breathes on the web, I should have at least tried it. But
as I'm sure is the case with many of you, I know a lot of people
that have used and are even addicted to eBay. If they need to
buy something, they first search for it on eBay. If they need to
sell something, they try to sell it on eBay. I recently saw a
piece on the news about people who are making a living by buying
and selling products on eBay. Selling on eBay is even the topic
of recent spam messages promoting eBay coaching videos,
tutorials and software. So what's all the buzz? You tell
me...answer our new poll question below and share your own eBay
thoughts and/or experiences with me and other
Automationtechies.com visitors.
I've been asked to include this message regarding a recent press release that was published on Automationtechies.com. On January 23rd, an unapproved press release announcing news regarding Tecnomatix and HP was mistakenly distributed to several media contacts by the company's public relations agency. This announcement was never made by either company. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused. For more information on Tecnomatix / HP partnerships, please visit http://www.tecnomatix.com/showpage.asp?page=579, or contact:Todd Van Hoosear Topaz Partners +1-781-388-7900 ext. 209 tvanhoosear@topazpartners.com Thank you.
Enjoy the rest of this e-news!

OPC Tunneling Eliminates Setup Headaches From the shop floor to the top floor, OPC is the preferred communication standard for sharing process control data at all levels of the enterprise. But as OPC pours into mainstream acceptance, integrators are finding configurations where OPC can be a hindrance to the panacea of plug-and-play application interconnectivity. The most common situation occurs when applications on different Windows domains must communicate with each other. Still, other designs call for the use of low-bandwidth or unreliable networks. It is in these setups that OPC can make use of new “tunneling” technology, which eliminates the biggest OPC headache for integrators: setting up DCOM. Read full article by Matrikon
