aerospace industry, whether in development, production or maintenance. Therefore, a comprehensive and seamless quality management system along the entire supply chain is crucial. After its foundation in 2020 the POLYRACK Aerospace GmbH quality management system has now been approved according to EN 9100, which marks another milestone for the company in this market segment. POLYRACK Aerospace focuses on the realization of customer-specific solutions for the aerospace industry. These include the development and manufacturing of electromechanical components made of metal and plastic, including individual robust system platforms in various enclosure solutions, whilst meeting the relevant design and environmental standards.

process engineers, as it omits the need for a separate DC power infrastructure, providing power and communications via the same cable. This brings new agility as flowmeters can be installed wherever needed. In addition, ABB 4-wire Ethernet combines classic outputs with future communication protocols. Offering a modular design allows the combination of both worlds and ensures that devices are future-proof, increasing the longevity of the flowmeters. Furthermore, flowmeters with Ethernet connectivity


increase simplicity, flexibility and reliability to operations in process automation, while enhancing real- time visibility of data. Previously hidden data in field devices, such as measurement values on density, conductivity or concentration of the medium, can be unlocked. This in turn will help customers across all industries identify redundant measurement points in their plants to achieve savings along the way. “ProcessMaster and CoriolisMaster with Ethernet will


support our customers’ digital journey towards smart cities and Industry 4.0. Ethernet is the leading communications technology. By incorporating it into the ABB flowmeters, we can help even more customers reduce complexity of operations and lower costs of infrastructure in more plants around the world – safely and remotely.” said Frank Frenzel, Global Product Line Manager Process Flowmeters. An integrated secure webserver based on the ABB


Ability™ Cyber Security framework ensures robust and secure operations that offer instrumentation engineers support during commissioning and troubleshooting. It also provides access to configuration, diagnostics and


Panduit Launches Next Generation CS® Connector to Optimise Data Centre Fibre to Rack Density


• Cross-connect and interconnect efficiencies for all Ethernet & Fibre Channel speeds


• Supports 200G/400G (native) & breakout of 200G-2x100G, 400G to 2x200G switch-switch applications


• Double density in QSFP- DD and OSFP transceivers


• Saves space, time and capital expense


• Singlemode and Multimode fibre options As bandwidth speeds continue to increase apace,


high speed optic applications have become omnipresent in today’s high performance data centre, requiring enhanced capabilities at the rack level. Panduit today launches the CS® Connector, its next generation high density fibre connector solution that optimises the data centre environment.


Complex applications including AI, Machine Learning


(ML) and Deep Learning (DL) are driving the requirement to push higher data density to the rack and dense compute technologies need close proximity to optimise workflows. Critical assets need to be physically located where space is at an increasing premium or simply not available based on the size of a traditional connector systems Panduit’s CS Connector solution provides 50% greater port density per RU, used in Panduit’s HD Flex™ Cabling system, and double the density in QSFP-DD and OSFP transceiver compared with LC connector solutions.


Cable management in the rack using unitary cable


reduces congestion in pathways and the push-pull insert/withdraw feature allows easy access in high- density applications without disturbing adjacent circuits. As rack density increases using CS Connector-based solutions allow up to 216 connections compared to 144 connections using LC connectors, in the same space. The CS Connector therefore supports the reduction in connectivity footprint within the hyperscale, multi- tenant and large data centre environments.


measurement data through a built-in QR code. This allows verification of all parts of the flowmeter and provides insights into its operating condition with automatically generated reports. Combining 4..20 mA or digital outputs with new 1- or


2-port Ethernet makes classic instrumentation truly future-proof, with speeds of up to 100Mbit/s. The flowmeters use various Ethernet based communication protocols, such as simple Modbus TCP or high performance EtherNet/IP. This prepares them for IT/OT convergence, cloud connectivity and the requirements needed for secure and encrypted communication both today and tomorrow. *Ethernet connectivity for the electromagnetic


flowmeter ProcessMaster is currently available in North America only. It will be released globally later in 2021.
