The software leads users through the redlining process with which they can view and comment on changes to the project. This helps facilitate communication and collaboration across projects, across disciplines and across companies.

The smart distribution center solutions will include the North American debuts of the EP7402 controller for motor-driven roller (MDR) conveyors, TwinCAT/BSD alternative operating system (OS) for Beckhoff PC-based controllers and C6025 ultra-compact Industrial PC (IPC). The eXtended Transport System (XTS) will also make its MODEX debut at the Beckhoff booth (4026).

The OSA +Flow family embeds Flow-Cal measurement applications into the Bedrock Automation platform. Flow-Cal’s software is a choice for flow measurement and production-accounting data.

iRISK is designed to provide vulnerability assessment reporting for OT networks, including risk prioritizations and mitigation recommendations.

The Secured by Cimetrics Early Access Program (SbC-EA) is designed to deploy BACnet/SC and the Secured by Cimetrics (SbC) security management framework to the building automation industry.

The city collaborated with Carollo Engineers, an environmental engineering firm that specializes in the planning, design and construction of water and wastewater facilities, to help with the technology selection process. The team evaluated different solutions’ capabilities, support services, and more. The PlantPAx distributed control system (DCS) from Rockwell Automation came out on top.

By Bill Lydon, Contributing Editor Attending the Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Symposium hosted by Harting Electronics and the SPE Partner Network organization, I learned more about the 10BASE-T1 Single Pair Ethernet. SPE is an exciting development enabling seamless ethernet connectivity from sensor to enterprise, connecting the IoT universe.

Secure online and offline DTM repository meets use case requirements benefiting suppliers and end users

The services support the full spectrum of ICS/OT/IoT maturity, from early-stage IoT adoption, health checks and strategy validation, to full-lifecycle risk management.

The valve offers a close-off pressure of 75 psi (5.2 Bar) ensures a safe shutoff in the event of a fuel train system failure and eliminates the need for additional safety components

The X-410 offers the ability to log a variety of data points such as local and remote I/O, registers, tasks, and voltage. Log entries can be made at preset intervals, scheduled times, triggered by I/O changes or logic events. Users can schedule a daily log file to be sent via email or uploaded via FTP server.

The four solutions relate to Ignition by Inductive Automation. Ignition is an industrial application platform with tools for building solutions in human-machine interface (HMI), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Ignition is used in many industries, in more than 100 countries.

The thicknessCONTROL MTS 820x and MTS 920x thickness measuring systems from Micro-Epsilon offer an application solution. Their technology enables measurements on both thick and thin materials.

Specialized project team knowledge and skills are required for integrating automation system components and technology.

The AMCI NR60E2 networked encoders are 100% compatible with Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and Schneider PLCs that support EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, or Profinet.

Developers can plug the CPU module into their motherboard and configure it with the PCAN-MicroMod FD Configuration Windows software included in the scope of supply.

The latest design showcased at ATX includes two safety mats and two area scanners that detect when people enter the work envelope, allowing the system to meet higher speeds when not in collaborative mode.

The addition of a model with spectral sensitivity at 1.45-1.75 μm (2M) now allows measurements to be made from as low as 250° C. The models were also expanded upwards by calibration methods – a maximum of 3000 °C can now be measured.
