Because EtherNet/IP has been built in strict accordance with the ISO/OSI 7 layer model, it is largely abstracted from IP which lives at layer 3. Incorporation of IPv6 into the EtherNet/IP specification will enable smooth migration paths for both device vendors and end users.

For many EtherNet/IP applications requiring fiber, the use of currently available cabling systems presents unique challenges. Recently, fiber manufacturers have introduced Hard Clad Silica (HCS) fibers with improved bandwidth for existing 100Mb/sec EtherNet/IP networks.

The pressure sensors are serving as components in a wireless remote monitoring system that ensures optimal operations of safety trailers used on remote sites as emergency first aid stations.

Pickering supplied a switching system to collect analog data at speeds involving "10’s of MHz" of bandwidth and a size of up to 104x16. The system uses LXI communications.

Aixcon PowerSystems manufactures systems used to produce longitudinal seam welding of composite pipes. They use PC controllers and high-speed EtherCAT networking for welding plants in metal working applications.

Member meeting at Guro Hotel, Seoul

The agenda for this event is largely developed by customers, for customers with opportunities for knowledge sharing and networking. Join us as we discuss trends and new technologies impacting the automation industry.

For the very first time in the GCC, the M2M Technology Forum will be organized by IQPC from 18-19 June 2013 at the Le Royal Meridien Hotel, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

What type of PLC/PAC system do I choose? The PLC/PACs system is provides three major subsections: (1) PLC/PAC hardware/software, (2) graphics and (3) communications. This course will explore all three areas and drill down to various options

This course presents a systematic approach to troubleshooting and start-up of single and multi-loop control loops. You'll see how pressure, level, flow, and temperature loops operate to maintain good process control systems. A knowledge of instrumentation and control is assumed.

This course reviews the knowledge and skills areas included on the Certified Control Systems Technician (CCST) Level III examination. The intent is to prepare an automation professional who meets the exam criteria to take the exam.
