New products this month include: new I/O modules from Belden; a new MTP Suite from COPA DATA; omlox hub software and omlox core zone hardware from TRUMPF Tracking Technologies; PROFIsafe encoders from TR electronic; and MTP training from Semodia.
This article discusses how to solve unauthorized access to manufacturing areas and ensure only the right people are carrying out the right tasks. A PROFINET backbone can be used to control access to not only to help reduce risk, but also contribute to maximizing productivity.
The annual independent notary recording of installed products with interfaces using technology from PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) yielded very positive numbers for 2022. This is especially true for PROFINET and IO-Link, but PROFIsafe achieved a considerable increase over the previous year as well.
Join us for two PROFINET-focused webinars targeted towards device developers/vendors, on June 20 and 21. The first webinar provides an update on PROFINET Certification and the second webinar provides the latest about implementing the PROFINET technology.
Companies with new products to announce this month include: Rockwell Automation, Alicat Scientific, Sewio, Indu-Sol, Gefran, WAGO, and Pepperl+Fuchs. Find out what’s available.
At this year’s Hanover Fair, PI will be exhibiting its innovations at an impressive joint booth in Hall 9, Stand D68. Once again, a large number of technology demos on the current topics of PROFINET over TSN, PROFIsafe, OPC UA Safety, IO-Link Safety, and omlox will be displayed.
Work on IO-Link Safety has progressed, and the relevant specifications are now complete; first devices will follow shortly. On May 9–11, 2023, in cooperation with TÜV-SÜD, the IO-Link Community will offer a training to become an IO-Link Safety Certified Designer.
