Lots of omlox activity this month, from PI and omlox exhibiting at IMTS in Chicago, to a new omlox reference installation in Germany, to new technology and updates from an omlox hub software provider, Flowcate. Read all the latest here.
PROFIsafe and Ethernet-APL complement each other perfectly. With their combination, PI meets the challenge of providing both safety and non-safety applications through a unified PROFINET infrastructure.
ISA100 WCI, NAMUR, ODVA, PI, VDMA, and ZVEI plan to partner with FieldComm Group and OPC Foundation to collaboratively develop the Process Automation Device Information Model (PA-DIM) standard.
After almost four years of collaboration between the four leading standards development organizations, along with significant support from 12 major industry project partners, the participants are pleased to announce a successful completion of the APL Project.
With the completion of the work surrounding PA device profile 4, another milestone has been reached on the way to flexible and, at the same time, more secure process automation. In combination with PROFINET over APL and its high bandwidth, seamless integration from the field level into the entire PROFINET network is possible.
omlox will be at IMTS Chicago on Sep 12-17; PI will be at ACHEMA on Aug 22-26; there's a PROFINET class in Detroit on Aug 30; the PNO will present Digital Transformation in Kassel on Sep 20 and at TSN/A on Sep 28-29 in Stuttgart; and finally, join the PNO at their 3-day workshop in Nürtingen on Oct 11-13.
Three big events for the IO-Link Community are upcoming in Germany: An IO-Link User Workshop on Sep 20 in Kassel; An English-language “IO-Link Safety Certified Designer” training course on Oct 4-6 in Karlsruhe; And finally, on IO-Link Interop Workshop on Oct 11-12, in Bad Soden.
The IO-Link Community came together in Frankfurt am Main, Germany for their annual Members' Assembly. A new Steering Committee was elected with participation by 18 active companies helping drive IO-Link success into the future.
