There are many new products to announce this month from CoreTigo, Datalogic, HBM, Hilscher, Procentec, R. STAHL, and Turck. More companies are adding PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and IO-Link to their products than ever before. Get connected!
The IO-Link Community has published a new specification for easy data exchange. This specification describes how data can be exchanged by IO-Link over JSON REST and MQTT – fully in line with the transparent communication of Industry 4.0.
New products this month include secure cloud connectivity on PROFINET interfaces from HMS Anybus, PROFINET servo motor dev kits from Festo, industrial network cable testers from Fluke, and ultrasonic cleaners with PROFINET from Weber Ultrasonics. Read on!
This article features new products from Endress+Hauser, Phoenix Contact, Omron, Pepperl+Fuchs, Sick, Yamaha Motors, and WEG. Learn about new gateways, robot controllers, drives, smart cameras, and liquid analytic devices that are just hitting the market.
Highlighted this month are trainings in the United Kingdom and Denmark. In the UK, a series of three classes covering PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and IO-Link are planned later in the year. In Denmark, a PROFINET course is planned for early June.
It doesn’t matter if OPC UA, MQTT, OPC Companion Specifications or NOA shaped PA-DIM data models come around the corner; they all only make sense when there is digital data coming from field devices, sensors, signals, converters, proxies etc. And what are they all connected to? A PROFINET network.
Under the new name ‘Smart Production Solutions’, SPS Fair 2019 was again a big success. The name change reflects the ongoing digital transformation and therefore the convergence of IT and OT. Many IT companies appeared at the fair to showcase their IoT solutions. It was a perfect setup for PI and our booth.
Tunnel boring machines are enormous, highly automated, mobile “factories,” which can perform all stages of tunnel construction in a single run. A challenge for these machines is the transmission of relevant data from the head to the controller located further back. PROFINET over wireless played a vital role in solving that challenge.
