FieldConnex Power Hub modular power supply for PROFIBUS is transparent and configuration-free to the DCS System. All field device data is translated inside the segment coupler such that the device appears to the DCS like a native DP-slave. No GSD-files are required when field devices are added.

Breeze-100 multi-stack CNC tube bender is optimized for high-precision applications, and includes Unibend Control Software which virtually eliminates the high costs normally associated with machine configuration for small-batch and just-in-time parts production. Following set up, all the operating parameters are stored, allowing the machine to be configured for further batches of parts in a few minutes, and without creating any scrap.

Compatible with any HART or Foundation Fieldbus distributed control system (DCS), the Logix 3400IQ controls the position of both single- and double-acting valve actuators with linear or rotary mountings. The Logix 3400IQ has a FISCO-compliant user interface board, improved potentiometer, piezoelectric technology, and host interoperability to provide operating versatility and fast, easy and accurate calibration.

G3 Series HMI has a built-in image driver that allows the integration of multiple Banner Presence PLUS vision sensors. ; the G3 supports Banner’s full line of sensors. A machine designer can configure a G3 for specific sensor operations such as switching inspection files for different product batches, archiving and running additional inspections, uploading barcode data and displaying images of failed products.

Darwin information management system (LIMS) version 1.1 for pharmaceutical manufacturing R&D and QA/QC provides tight integration with SAP for rapid batch disposition and release and streamlined workflow, plus new historical data trending and charting functionality. The embedded charting and trending for product stability testing allows for real-time data review and rapid reporting. Darwin 1.1 has also been optimized to operate on the Oracle 10g platform.

ISA announced the publication of the 2nd edition of a classic resource - "Batch Control Systems - Design, Application, and Implementation."

The Flowserve GCX single mechanical cartridge seal is specifically designed for ANSI and DIN pump services, where the pumps and seals are required to operate in multiple chemical environments without chemical compatibility change-outs. The Flowserve GCX seal is ideally suited for intermediate and batch chemical processes in short-run chemical plants and in multiple campaign specialty chemical and pharmaceutical plants using solvents and steam for decontamination.

Integrity version 1.4 documents, analyzes and manages automation asset information and real-time data flow across any process manufacturing facility. It works with PLCs and DCSes from Honeywell, Invensys, Emerson, Rockwell Automation and many other vendors.

MCL-Collection software tools for mobile workforce applications now covers the Kyman-Net rugged hand held mobile computer and the Viper-Net industrial pistol grip Windows based mobile computer in addition to the Datalogic Jet PDA. MCL-Collection integrates mobile computing, wireless infrastructures and data capture technologies to provide real-time, on demand or batch data communications

Alarm MOCCA version 2.1 eliminates the need for onerous change management procedures by automatically tracking changes made to the Distributed Control System (DCS). Alarm MOCCA simplifies DCS integrity assessment by empowering users to not only validate every parameter, but also validate whether configuration guidelines are being followed.

The FieldConnex® Power Hub for PROFIBUS provides selectable rRedundancy for the Gateway and for the Power Modules. Transparency of the Gateway lets all PA-devices appear to the DCS like native DP-slaves. The motherboard-based passive design and lowest heat dissipation provides for a very long service life.

FactorySQL is the easiest, most effective way to bridge the gap between PLCs and standard database systems. From simple data logging, to complicated web-based control systems, FactorySQL has the features and intuitive design to help you accomplish tasks easily and quickly.

The FactorySQL OPC to SQL data-bridge features point and click configurability to achieve bi-directional data flow with virtually any SQL database. SQL database logging can now be accomplished in minutes. FactorySQL supports triggers, batch transfers, alarming, alerting, auditing, and other features.

ProSoft Technology offers an extensive inventory of in-chassis modules for industrial automation applications using Allen-Bradley and Schneider Electric processors. These in-rack devices communicate over the backplane to interface the respective networks with any of over 60 protocols (both client to server and master to slave). ProSoft’s protocol and network connectivity modules include inRAx for Rockwell Automation and ProTalk for Schneider Electric. These devices are designed to connect to a number of networks, including SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and DCS systems (Dedicated Control System).

ProSoft Technology’s ProLinx line of stand-alone protocol gateways are specially developed as inter-network communication solutions for industrial automation applications. These gateways function to bridge the gap between dissimilar protocols, controllers, and networks and are used for both Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Distributed Control Systems (DCS). With over 60 protocols, ProSoft Technology can be the ideal solution for any application looking to create a scalable, efficient network.

Functional enhancements include strengthened network functions, communications functions, and newly developed pulse width output modules. This upgrade enables its use in combination with CENTUM, the company's distributed control system (DCS), designed for large-scale main processes.

Loop Performance Snapshot adds a simple, graphical representation of loop analysis computations in PlantTriage™ software. PlantTriage™ automatically monitors plant operations 24x7, using data from existing DCS or PLC systems. The Snapshot reveals opportunities to improve both the process and the controller.

The T2550 controller in the Foxboro A2 line bundles full process control and I/O functionality in a compact, field-mountable baseplate and termination assembly. Each unit can have up to two process controllers, which can operate in a simplex mode or in an optional redundant mode.

The Brooks QUANTIM QMBS meter extends mass flow measurement to very low flow ranges of between 0.001 kg/hr to 28.0 kg/hr. This model is ideally suited for metering small amounts of fluids in batch dosing processes, and metering fluids in small volume liquid filling systems, among many other uses.
