As I promised last week, we organized the news from last week's Automation Fair and created a site page with a list of news headlines at News from Automation Fair 2004. On this page, you'll notice the first few headlines focus on solutions that Rockwell Automation was presenting last week. Rockwell did a very nice job of presenting and documenting these solutions so we could share them with you. I'm sure we didn't include all of the possible news from last week on this page, but we did include the news that was made available to us by Rockwell and a number of their Encompass Partners. This list was too long to include every news item in our Automation News section below, so be sure to check out the News from Automation Fair 2004 page on the site.
On to the good stuff...Enjoy the rest of this e-news!
Our featured article this week, On-MachineTM - On the Cutting Edge of Automation, was provided by Rockwell Automation. The article discusses how locating control components, devices and other hardware closer to the application, and in many cases on the machine, will save time and money. Use the link below to read this complete article.
In this issue, we're also featuring the Integrated PC-Based Control System CD from Beckhoff Automation. This TwinCAT software CD allows you to turn any industrial computer into a high performance, flexible control system offering multi-axis PLC control, motion control and operator interface.

On-MachineTM - On the Cutting Edge of Automation With the current squeeze on capital investments, companies are searching for ways to lower the cost of installing and maintaining automation systems.

This paper examines the scope of On-Machine™ solutions, outlines the key benefits of this growing trend and highlights examples where a distributed, On-Machine architecture has been successful.
