Board Member Perspective
Over the years, you’ve amassed smart field devices through different area owners, different project owners, and even purchasing, and now you are backed into a tough spot; you have to extract the 'smarts' from these pricey devices acquired from different manufacturers, connected to different PLCs, and in some cases across different protocols. What to do?
Profiles for Robot Systems
PI is proud to introduce a uniform data interface between PLCs and robot controllers to make robot programming easier and more efficient for manufacturers of both PLCs and robots, and of course, for the PLC programmers themselves.
The Role of Campus Positioning
The Campus Positioning of T-Systems and its components focus on combining different localization technologies like mobile cellular technology and complementary technologies like UWB, BLE, RFID, GPS, WiFi, etc. The connectors and APIs are all based on omlox, the first open and independent industry standard for localization services.
Upcoming Training and Events – Aug 2021
Three upcoming workshops in Germany to announce this month: PROFIsafe Certified Designer + Refresher courses in early October; an IO-Link Interoperability Workshop in early November; and an IO-Link Safety Plugfest also in early November.
Expansions to TSN and Security in PROFINET Specification
The PROFINET specification with updated extensions for TSN and security, plus the associated additional guidelines and tools, have now been completed by the various PROFINET Working Groups. This bundle of results shows the steps taken by the PI community for future-proof industrial communication with PROFINET.
PI and the Winds of Change
The winds of change called for a new strategic direction in the development of PI's technologies. PI has taken up the challenge. The answer is the transition from a previously communications-oriented to an information-oriented technology portfolio.
