With many new features, such as active device protection, channel oriented PLC design, point wiring and improvements in graphic functions, EPLAN Platform 2.0 ensures greater project reliability, functionality and speed. For this new release, more than 1,000 customer requirements were considered during development.
EPLAN Pro Panel offers specific 3D functionalities to define electrical and fluid engineering mounting layouts. The module starts with the brand-new 3D technology of the EPLAN Platform und facilitates a design process across various disciplines based on a common database. It provides uniform and consistent engineering with sustained data integrity.
FLSmidth, a world leader in Electrostatic Precipitator technology, develops advanced pollution control systems in order to comply with the stringent industrial standards. Particle removal efficiency is controlled in real time by sophisticated micro processor based voltage controls. FLSmidth decided to integrate HMS’s communication system to inform their users of the status of the air pollution control equipment. Because they were able to implement this interface with a standard and an easily integrated solution, they selected HMS Industrial Networks.
Maple 14 Grid Computing Toolbox offers built-in integration with Windows® HPC Server 2008 R2 and enables distributed computing using Maple, the primary tool for engineers to solve complex mathematical problems and create rich technical documents.
With its broad spectrum of gearmotors and frequency inverters, NORD Drivesystems offers a large selection of drive components for the automotive production sector, where Profibus and Profinet are the industry standard for communication tasks. The Profibus versions of the SK 200E family of decentralised frequency inverters from NORD Drivesystems are now certified compliant with the Profibus DP standard. The SK 200E frequency inverter is mounted directly on the drive in place of the terminal box, with the combination of frequency inverter and gearmotor forming a complete drive unit.
Involved in most of the biggest projects around the world, such as the East European high speed line - the first interoperable high speed line in Europe - as well as High Speed One in England and the Cairo Metro, the Infrastructure Group of the French Federation of Railway Industries, achieved a turnover of €1700m in 2009, 40% came from exports. It employs more than 7000 people, 2700 of whom are based outside France. Its activities were featured at the Innotrans 2010 trade fair in Berlin.
Protokraft has introduced the Sabre Series 11-02 high speed optoelectronic solutions with Souriau’s ELIO® optical interfaces, designed for military, aerospace, industrial or utility applications where significant levels of shock, vibration and extreme temperature ranges are experienced. These components integrate the functions of optical transmitters or receivers into the shell of a standard D38999 / ELIO® size 11-02 optical connector. These components are designed for use in harsh environments where small size, weight reduction and resistance to harsh environments are valued.
The number of vehicle failures due to electronic components is increasing every year. Electronic components are involved in nearly half of all emergency assistance calls received by the German motorists’ association ADAC. Often coming from screws, microscopic contamination particles on interconnects regularly cause failures in control units. To solve this problem, Arnold Umformtechnik has developed the Cleancon concept.
The Anybus Communicator gateways now enable integration of industrial devices which support the Rockwell Automation DF1 protocol to fieldbus and Industrial Ethernet networks!
The compact MAC335 universal code reader from Pepperl+Fuchs can read all common 1D and 2D code symbologies within an extremely large range without requiring mechanical modifications. A host of powerful features such as JavaScript functions, a high resolution, IP65 protection and the intuitive Vision Configurator operating software make this reader ideal for many industrial applications.
