rouzet and HMS present joint solution for monitoring the Millenium 3 logic controller over Crouzet,
a leading manufacturer of
automation control components, has decided to use HMS Industrial Networks Netbiter as remote management solution for their latest generation of micro PLCs - the Millenium 3 Smart. This provides users of the micro PLC with instant access to data on their field equipment over the web. An example of an early adopter is the Swedish-based company Triplesign who uses the solution to monitor alternating billboards. With Netbiter, they can see the status of each billboard and even remotely control which message to display. I have been working with the Millenium 3 Logic Controllers for some time and the fact that the Netbiter solution had a ready-made template for this micro PLC was a great advantage, says P-A Claveroth, Sales and Marketing Director at Triplesign. We simply connect the Netbiter unit to the Millenium 3 and all parameters show up immediately in a web browser.

switching results in short latency times when forwarding data packets. The switches feature an integrated Profinet IO device that allows for full configuration and monitoring via the Profinet controller. The devices are equipped with either two or three polymer fiber ports, providing the basis for interference-free, diagnostic-capable fiber optic systems. Thanks to their compact design, the switches readily fit into flat control cabinets.

Real-Time Switch for Profinet T
adapter for the 5 GHz frequency band
hoenix Contact now offers an industrial WLAN Ethernet adapter for integrating Ethernet-capable devices into WLAN IEEE 802.11a/n networks (5 GHz frequency band).
The new adapter has an IP67 enclosure rating and complements the WLAN Ethernet adapters (WLAN clients) for the IEEE 802.11 b/g WLAN standard (2.4 GHz frequency band). An integrated antenna has been specially developed to provide a high level of robustness for wireless communication in reflective industrial environments. New functions such as DCP, LLDP and Profinet prioritization increase performance when used in automation networks. Application areas for the WLAN Ethernet adapters include locations in which moving or mobile Ethernet-capable devices such as controllers, terminals or I/O modules are to be integrated wirelessly into the main Ethernet network.

Small and cost effective light duty robots
he HA10 , 10L and 20 Hyundai robots from AA Robotics are light duty robots suitable for a range of applications from welding, handling, palletising and assembly
projects.Their technical make-up allows them to link together with other robot arms to create collaborative arm solutions, working around each other without collision. As standard, the robots are supplied with pre installed software for applications such as welding, sealing and palletising. This software, together with a background “PLC multi tasking ” program, allows immediate set up and operation. These light duty robots are part of a range of over 25 robots providing welding and handling applications from 6Kg to 500Kg, with a reach from 1.6m to over 3 metres. There are both 6 axis robots and 4 axis palletising robots. The robots are all minimum of IP65 finish for harsh industrial applications, clean room disk and glass handling.

combination of RFID and Sensors in one device
he BIS-V RFID controller is Balluff's answer to the markets desire for a compact evaluation unit that enables the simultaneous connection of up to four RFID read/write heads. Both HF (13.56 MHz) in accordance with ISO 15693 and ISO 14443 and LF (125 kHz) read heads can be connected on the front with plug connectors and are automatically detected. Moreover, the RFID controller is the only device on the market that allows via Profibus DP and EtherCAT the direct connection of sensors and actuators from an IO-Link hub, with PROFINET, DeviceNet and Serial Interface to follow.
T The result is considerable
hardware and installation savings. The controller fulfills all requirements for an industry-ready version (IP65, metal housing) and is equipped with Profibus or EtherCAT interface and with a USB service interface to the PC.
There are many typical
application areas for the intelligent combination of RFID controllers and sensors/actuators.
