Documents are available for review until February 9, 2007.

The audit trail automatically tracks engineering changes made to the Ovation system, providing utilities with a better way to manage system security, and troubleshoot and quickly identify the root cause of abnormal conditions that can impact operational performance or result in loss of generation.

Enhancements in Maple 11 a smart document interface, strong computation engine, and connectivity capabilities. The improved computation engine includes new mathematics, user-level multithreaded computations and a certified polynomial real root finder.

LabSoft LIMS NR tool manages noncompliance records and provides a method to focus on the root cause of an NR and determine the reasons, circumstances and responsible parties.

Enhancements in Lattix LDM 3.0 include its Dependency Model approach, which extends DSM with architecture rules, to enable a new way to visualize and manage the architecture of database systems. LDM enables managers, architects and developers to visualize, specify and maintain the architecture of a complex enterprise software system.

ORBexpress RT now supports LynxOS-SE real-time operating system (RTOS). Developers can use both to build safe and secure military and aerospace systems. ORBexpress is based on the Real-time Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard that enables real-time and embedded devices in heterogeneous environments to communicate seamlessly. LynxOS-SE is POSIX and ARINC 653-1 compliant, highly desired in military and avionics applications.

The mini-IPm PLUS has Ethernet, up to 4 serial ports and a built-in mix of 26 discrete and analog I/O. It is pre-loaded with open-source Linux and the IPm firmware which offers automation, control and data acquisition capabilities. For utility applications, IPm+ also includes pre-loaded software for AGA gas flow calculations and DNP-3 time stamped communications.

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.

UEI added complete QNX Real Time Operating System (RTOS) support for its PowerDNA series of data acquisition and control cubes. With the new PowerDNA QNX library, QNX developers can take advantage of the deterministic timing afforded by QNX. The Library may be deployed on any host computer running the QNX RTOS and connected to the PowerDNA cube over the Ethernet (10/100baseT).

UniSort MXT software has algorithms that optimize merging, induction and sortation, enabling rates well in excess of 300 cartons per minute on sliding shoe sorters. The module is designed for optimal performance in systems using servo-based induction and high-speed merging, although it also works with fixed-speed induction systems and other configurations.

the Unit Response Optimizer is available as an embedded advanced control application in the Ovation expert control system. The model-based control solution uses advanced unit analysis and modeling techniques to provide optimal load trajectory and control for improved ramping, startup, unit turndown and overall performance, as well as reduce equipment wear/tear.

TwinCAT automation software now conforms to OPC UA (Unified Architecture). The new OPC UA standard is based on TCP communication and is, therefore, platform-independent. The "Unified Architecture" specification creates the basis for new platform-independent communication and information technologies.

AutoManager View 2007 PC desktop solution helps people across the enterprise to quickly view, print, compare and annotate engineering documents. Supporting over 200 different file formats, AutoManager View 2007 views all CAD, Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat documents from a single integrated and user-friendly environment. It includes support for AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks.

Ti Series thermal imagers are available in six camera models – the Ti20, Ti30, Ti40, Ti45, Ti50 and Ti55 – designed both for technicians with little or no thermography experience, and for predictive maintenance experts, process engineers and consultants who require the best thermal imagers.

CAD-CONNECT Labeling Software generates labels quickly and easily within CAD programs such as AutoCAD and Visio. CAD-CONNECT eliminates the steps and time spent manually copying identifiers into labeling software.

RSLogix 5000 v.15 programming software allows users in these countries to more easily access a programming environment in their native language. RSLogix 5000 has also been updated to support UNICODE based text so users can create project documentation using languages that require double byte characters such as Kanji.

Adding a wealth of new features and functions in response to customer requests in the manufacturing, infrastructure and building industries, Autodesk Design Review 2007 software enhances collaboration between extended product development teams.

The threadless, M12-compatible Ultra-Lock Connection System comprises a series of integrated distribution boxes and cordsets built on a patented 'push-to-lock' technology that enables fast, easy installation without turning the coupler. For workers, this eliminates the hand/wrist motions and repetitive turning required to install traditional threaded M12 connectors.

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.
