SCANEX may be used for production management in a variety of industries with hazardous locations.

Intermec's CN3 and CV30 wireless mobile computers will use AirForce One Wi-Fi technology from Broadcom. The addition of Wi-Fi technology optimizes device security, roaming and interoperability and offers higher levels of integration, power savings and voice over IP performance.

AVIAOK, Drivven and S.E.A. have developed custom wireless modules for the CompactRIO platform. Modules are suitable for automotive, aerospace and military in-vehicle applications; wireless communications; position monitoring for mobile applications; and direct connectivity to in-vehicle sensors for electronic control unit (ECU) design and rapid prototyping.

The Memor pocket-sized Windows-powered mobile computer is an extremely compact, lightweight, versatile and robust device that combines integrated bar code reading and wireless communication capabilities. It is suitable for light industrial operations such as warehouse management, inventory, picking, shipping, receiving, etc.

The Wireless Logic Controller platform simplifies the integration and development of automation systems and enterprise control solutions with hardware, user programmable IEC 61131-3 standards-based middleware, and end-user data communications. Development, monitoring and control is made easier through the use of integrated cellular communications, industrial hardened I/O, and standard fixed-wire networks integrated into one rugged design.

These sensors are designed to measure rotating drive torque using a conventional shaft-to-shaft configuration for in-line placement. The design incorporates a digital non-contact wireless system that provides power to the rotating electronics mounted on the shaft and transmits the signal back to the receiver in digital format.

Zlinx wireless remote I/O maps directly into a Modbus table, making it an easy fit to any PLC, HMI or PC based control system running LabVIEW or other popular automation software. Wireless modules provide Modbus compatible communication at ranges up to 20 miles.

GS110 Process Imaging System for Low Emissivity (Low-E) glass monitors one-side coated flat glass. With the addition of an IR point sensor to measure the temperature on the uncoated side of the glass where the emissivity is both known and significantly higher, the GS110 can automatically correct the thermal image and provide a more accurate result.

InRAx Wireless Ethernet/IP Communication Module (MVI56-WA-EIP) acts as a wireless bridge, enabling remote connectivity between a ControlLogix processor and 802.11 wireless devices including PCs, Laptops, radio modems, and other modules. It allows programming over the backplane and acts as a server to RSLinx, allowing for multiple programs such as RSLogix5000 and/or RSView products to communicate simultaneously with the processor.

Two new EtherNet/IP module options for the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix include USB ports, easy setup and replacement. The modules work with existing EtherNet/IP products and provide capacity to allow for future expansion of user networks. They use the Intel IXP465 network processor chip designed specifically for the rigorous performance demands of manufacturing environments.

The PROFINET IO development kit enables simple implementation of PROFINET I/O devices according to the PROFINET standard and supports real-time (RT) operation.

The Industrial Ethernet Module enables fast, low-cost connection of devices to ETHERNET Powerlink, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET. The module is based on an Altera-FPGA and contains the CPU (NIOS II), an Ethernet Controller and an integrated 2-port hub, which is routed out via an RJ45 connector. Depending on the version, the protocol software for implementation of an ETHERNET Powerlink controlled node, a PROFINET device or an EtherNet/IP adapters is already on the module.

Phoenix Contact announces a major expansion to its standard function (SF) unmanaged switch line. New SFN (narrow) switches use third-generation switch technology to lower installed costs between 20 and 70 percent compared with current market offerings.

The new Allen-Bradley GuardPLC handheld terminal helps maintenance workers program and configure Allen Bradley GuardPLC safety controllers and I/O modules without the hassle of bringing a personal computer to the plant floor.

The new Scalance™ X family of industrial Ethernet switches delivers low ownership cost while providing four options of high-performance gigabit communication.

Honeywell today announced a new service that will help pulp and paper companies reduce maintenance costs while keeping their quality-control equipment running smoothly: Honeywell Quality Control System (QCS) Remote Monitoring. Designed to support Honeywell DaVinci and MXOpen systems, QCS Remote Monitoring allows Honeywell technicians to securely monitor their customers’ scanner equipment and diagnose problems from afar, saving maintenance expenses and reducing downtime.
