Documents are available for review until February 9, 2007.

JetNet 5010G industrial Gigabit Managed switch has three combo Gigabit ports and 7-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet, with a failover time of less than 30 milliseconds. Each Gigabit port accommodates 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX or 100Base-FX connectivity. The switch supports up to twenty units connected in a Gigabit Fiber Ring topology.

National Instruments released six USB modules for high-speed and low-speed/fault-tolerant Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) monitoring, logging and testing,

Able to meet global standards IEC 60439-1 and IEC 60529, CENTERLINE 2500 motor control center offers real-time MCC diagnostics and monitoring over DeviceNet, ControlNet or Ethernet, which gives users access to critical motor status information. Built-in DeviceNet with IntelliCENTER software eases information sharing for predictive maintenance, quick troubleshooting and safety.

Husky Series Industrial Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch now has small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports. The SFP fiber slot provides users the flexibility to insert different fiber modules, either multi-mode or single-mode, with various distances. Husky Gigabit switches can automatically detect the Gigabit cable connections priority for each Gigabit port.

Slim Line (SL Series) Industrial Ethernet Unmanaged Switches are available in five (SL-5ES), eight (SL-8ES) and nine port (SL-9ES) models. The compact and slim packaging design allows them to fit into the tightest DIN rail applications. The switches are CUL (UL/CSA), CE, FCC, ISO 9001, and RoHS/WEEE rated.

The fiber interface extends the maximum distance between a PowerDNA I/O Cube and its host computer from the 100 meter Ethernet/100BASE-T limitation to 2 kilometers. The 2 km limitation reflects the use of standard, off-the-shelf multimode fiber.

Enhancements to the ZB2430 “ZigBee Your Way” transceiver line include increased power and receive sensitivity, and line-of-sight range up to three miles. A low-cost version is available for under $10.

SEC-AC-SMLC is a fully-integrated control solution providing hardware and software building blocks that are engineered to easily plug together and work as a system. This allows engineers to focus on solving their application instead of integrating control components.

The EDS-516A 16-port managed Ethernet switch provides high-end and secure industrial Ethernet applications. It supports Quality of Service (QoS), IEEE802.1D-1998 GMRP and IGMP Snooping, and VLAN technology, which can be used to segment a network without being restricted by physical connections,

The JRBS line of spur blocks for FOUNDATION fieldbus and PROFIBUS PA provides the convenience of DIN-rail mounting in a rugged IP 20 design. All JRBS products contain a selector switch for segment termination, and allow the segment to be continued for distribution of instruments in other locations with no additional accessories required.

The iPC-I XC16/PCIe works in CAN applications, such as industrial control or automotive test stands. The interface supports PCI Express, has an on-board 16 bit microcontroller, and provides filtering, pre-processing, low latency, time triggered transmission or high precision time-stamping of CAN messages.

The CAN-CR200 and CANCR220 CAN repeaters allow setting up star or tree topologies, have automatic decoupling of defect segments, and provide galvanic decoupling of the CAN lines against each other and against the power supply.

SR61 is available with a choice of scanning options: standard range area imager, MEMS laser or linear scanning. The SR61 allows companies to standardize on a single form factor and choose the scanning technology that best suits their application needs, from low-light environments to highly dense or difficult to read barcodes.

This one-window test tool requires little to no training so technicians and system integrators can use their time more effectively. A simple explanation on how Modbus works on their website is a handy reference that includes examples of the various commands and replies.

The xCoupler module snaps into a ControlLogix PAC (programmable automation controller) from Rockwell Automation and provides bi-directional data translation between plant floor devices and SQL Server 2005 databases connected to the module via Ethernet. The module can be set up to configure specific plant floor devices, such as robots, sensors, bar code scanners and controls, with a database to develop commands, reports, alerts and other instructions.

Husky 10-port Managed Industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switches make migration to and deployment of Gigabit Ethernet easy. HMG-825, HMG-826 and HMG-828 can be remotely configured by a web browser, SNMP, Telnet, CLI, or a menu-driven management system.

The JetWave 2410 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11g/b Wireless Outdoor Access Point complies with IEEE 802.11b/g standards. It links two or more separate networks (typically located in different buildings) to create a single expanded LAN quickly, simply, and economically.

GOT (Graphic Operator Terminal) fanless touch panel computers have an optional rotational WLAN antenna (IEEE 802.11b/ 802.11g) for wireless network connections. By simply plugging in the Mini PCI WLAN card, users have instant access to a wireless LAN. They work in temperatures from -20 to +55ºC and withstand vibration to 1.3G. The super slim design is perfect for limited space environments.
