GRV-CCANI-2 (serial communication, 2 channels, CAN 2.0B, channel-to-channel isolation) is the first module in the groov EPIC platform to provide hardware support for an industrial field bus. GRV-ITM-12 (analog input, 12 channels, thermocouple or millivolt) provides a temperature sensing option with two isolated zones and 6 channels per zone.

Based on TwinCAT 3 HMI, the functionality provides at least one HMI Control for every TwinCAT Analytics algorithm, each with an up-to-date tile design that follows the latest web development standards.

The devices offer peripherals in variants for specific requirements. The data exchange is done via CAN FD, which is downward compatible to classic CAN 2.0.

With the release of PortBloque E, Sequi is adding Ethernet firewall functionality and Modbus TCP/UDP deep packet inspection tofilterand block harmful and unwanted Modbus traffic. These capabilities make the PortBloque E a choice for automation, utility, and energy operators looking to protect serial Modbus devices from Internet attacks.

Research engineers have devised a new method for estimating the charge state of batteries used in electric vehciles using fractional order calculations.

By Mark Howard, EU Automation Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of matter on the atomic and molecular scale —structures between one and 100 nanometres in size. This article discusses three exciting applications of nanotechnology in manufacturing.
