Join us in Hall 9, Booth D68 at Hannover Messe 2018! Learn about: PROFINET@TSN with a live demonstration, how PI is approaching Security, and where OPC UA fits in with a new video. See you there!
The combination of PROFINET plus OPC UA plus TSN provides a recipe for success as the boundaries between conventional ISA95 levels are blurring. PI is working hard to ensure our networks enable the future: Industry 4.0.
This month's New Products article features the first inclinometer with PROFIsafe from TWK, two new motion control components with PROFINET connectivity from Siemens, and two process instruments with PROFIBUS PA connectivity from Vivace.
In a chemical process plant, there are two factors that matter more than most: yield and profitability. With its new automation system based on Profibus PA, Glencore Magdeburg GmbH has made the jump to next-generation technology while achieving greater precision in process control with higher plant availability.
A combination of PROFINET, PROFIsafe, and IO-Link creates a communication platform which ensures smooth operation of a Saint-Gobain Formula GmbH gypsum production plant plant. The retrofit project illustrates the advantages to be gained from integrated system solutions.
In February, the first PROFINET Plugfest with special focus on High Availability took place in Amberg, Germany; a general Plugfest is planned for June. In North America, another PROFINET Plugfest is being planned to occur in the second half of 2018.
In the twelve years since the installation of PROFIsafe over wireless at the Sacre Coeur on Montmatre, in Paris, not a single failure of communication or any actuation of the safety function by the radio link has occurred. A look back and a look forward.
