Based on ODVA’s industrial EtherNet/IP, the results of this initiative will provide end users with more choices to deploy a complete Ethernet solution for process automation starting with connectivity down to the field level.

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.

IMTS – The International Manufacturing Technology Show 2014 was the fourth largest IMTS in history and the largest six-day show ever with registration of 114,147 representing 112 countries.

The ARNO AFC comes pre-configured with built-in through-coolant capabilities. In total, there are 5 inlets for porting the coolant on the AFC tool holder block that operators can use to direct coolant flow

The Process Automation Div combines Bourdon-Sedeme of France, Haenni Instruments of Switzerland, and Kamstrup Process of Denmark.

Actuators include an electromechanical fail safe actuator for use in gas turbines and an electrical multi-axis actuator unit incorporating software control for automotive testing.

The CCM system for continuous chain monitoring measures the wear elongation of chains in operation and warns the maintenance staff in time if the chain needs to be replaced.

The M-HD solution enables robot operators to get started with 3D bin-picking . By using HD 3D color vision that can handle all sorts of objects, whether it be tiny or shiny, the Pick-it software now detects parts that are 10x smaller with 30x increase in picking accuracy.

By Bill Lydon, Editor, Automation.com In this week's Deep Dive, Bill explores the HARTING MICA, an open and modular computing platform, which was awarded with the 13th annual HERMES AWARD at the 2016 Hannover Fair Opening Ceremony in April.

At Hannover Fair 2018, the vision for a seamless architecture from edge devices to enterprise and cloud computing was a prominent theme. Numerous product demonstrations, announcements, and discussions promoted the combination of Time Sensitive Networking (TSN IEEE 802.1) with OPC UA messaging and data models to create a new manufacturing and production architecture

The Fieldbus Foundation praised an agreement by the EDDL Cooperation Team (ECT) and FDT Group to combine efforts and work towards a single, unified solution for device integration compatible with both technologies.

The driver software is available for download in C# source code without any license fees or usage limitations.

EPLAN Cogineer is fully integrated into the EPLAN Platform shared by EPLAN Electric P8 and other EPLAN software products. This allows users to create project data in EPLAN Electric P8, and then generate the schematics using that data in EPLAN Cogineer without any duplication of effort.

Accenture and Dassault Systèmes are building and implementing a three-phase solution that harnesses digital technologies to create a link between engineering and the manufacturing shop floor for non-repetitive manufacturing companies.
