The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is revolutionizing the industrial automation market. Previously, only simple switching signals were exchanged locally with a control panel, but detailed status data can now be made available worldwide in the cloud using technologies such as IO-Link and OPC UA. The resulting transparency right through to the sensor or actuator is opening up completely new possibilities for smart applications in the field of Industry 4.0.
Siemens Digital Industries Software has signed an agreement with London-based Azini Capital to acquire OneSpin Solutions, a leading provider of formal verification software that helps ensure integrated circuit (IC) integrity and enables functionally correct, safe, trustworthy and secure IC designs.
All observers agree that when it comes to autonomous vehicles, the end of the road is not yet in sight. And yet ACTIA, due to its expertise in electronic architecture and vehicle connectivity, is already in a position to offer technology building blocks which are directly linked to the functions of smart and autonomous vehicles.
We are proud to present the new BCS Tools version 3.31, the CODESYS-based software platform for IEC 61131-3 compliant project engineering of all controllers and PLCs in our product range.
With new SIL 3 current drivers, Pepperl+Fuchs is completing its portfolio of SIL 3 isolated barriers for all types of signals—both as modules for DIN rail mounting and as isolating components for termination boards. Positioners in a SIL 3 application—which have always been available for digital signals from or into the field, and for analog measuring signals—can now be connected directly to the controller with a single interface module. A SIL 3 application must no longer be realized via the elaborate path of redundant SIL 2 devices.
E2S Warning Signals, global leader in audible and visual notification devices, has introduced the next generation of its M range industrial alarm horn sounders. The new MA1F and the MA2F employ the enclosure and mounting as previous MA112 and MA121 versions but now feature enhanced electronics containing the latest in D Class amplifier technology, with lower in-rush current, wider voltage range, lower current consumption and improved alarm tone choice and control.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology company that delivers advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced the Keysight S8825A Satellite and Aerospace Channel Emulation Toolset, which delivers advanced channel emulation capabilities that can speed deployment of non-terrestrial networks (NTN) vital to many new 5G services.
