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.

The facility replaces Fives DyAG Corp.’s previous operations in Charlotte, North Carolina, bringing automation support closer to existing customers, while expanding visibility within the region’s commercial manufacturing

Using Siemens’ Xcelerator platform, Navantia will implement a digital twin for its new F-110 Frigate program, thus meeting the Spanish navy requirements. Siemens is the industrial supplier who has been able to present an end-to-end project that virtually covers the whole lifecycle process of a vessel

HQX delivers a complete B2B and EDI cloud integration through a web-based SaaS solution for quick document visibility and data insights, and provides a web service integration toolbox

The gearheads can be equipped with up to four reduction. The GPT family is also particularly suited for accurate positioning applications granted by a very low backlash characteristic.

Once a problem is identified in an industrial process, data must be gathered and analyzed to determine a viable set of potential actions and solutions.

Compared to 2017, where revenues associated with industrial robots increased by 20%, forecasted declines of 4.3 per cent in 2019 have caused some concern.

A certified public accountant, Seliga holds a master’s degree in business administration from Cleveland State University and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Bowling Green State University.

With 5G’s increased bandwidth and ultra-low latency, NNS will be equipped to meet network connectivity demands and will test new ways its engineers can use augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) to support everything from architectural design to employee training.

The three linear voice coil motors in the GVCM-095-089 series features the same housing measuring 3.5 in. (88.9 mm) long by 3.750 in. (95.3 mm) dia. and the same threaded mounting holes for integration into new and existing applications.

Designed to withstand high temperatures, shocks, and vibrations over long periods, the BTC14, and the thin clients BTC12—designed for dual-monitor applications—and BTC01—a quad- monitor generation.

The Plantweb Insight Network Management application provides continuous, centralized monitoring of WirelessHART networks. The Plantweb Insight Power Module Management application drills down to the device level, allowing facilities to keep their wireless devices appropriately powered so they can continuously transmit key monitoring data.

The solution can be accessed from the Beckhoff website with a web browser and requires no additional software. In addition, TwinCAT Cloud Engineering enables registered users to work with the TwinCAT development environment even from previously unsupported devices, such as tablets.
