Turck is completing its offering of multiple passive junctions with M8 connector variants. The fully encapsulated TB-4M8 and TB-8M8 comply with IP67 protection requirements and are ideal for applications with space restrictions.

Siemens brings new versions of Industrial Ethernet switches onto the market. The firmware functions (Profinet S2 device, H-Sync and configuration in Run/CiR/H-CiR) in interaction with the Simatic PCS 7 process control system make the new products suitable for the flexible, reliable and high-performance networking of process automation devices.

Process management, visualisation and control package Aquatoria is delivering balanced water pressure across urban distribution networks, significantly improving water service levels, reducing leaks and lowering energy usage.

The eight new DIN rail devices from Phoenix Contact provide various connection options.

HMS Industrial Networks now introduces two new Anybus WLAN Access Points – industrial-grade infrastructure hubs for long range Wireless LAN connectivity. The products are ideal for collecting data wirelessly from any machinery or system, especially those equipped with Anybus Wireless Bolt or Bridge.

Turck is presenting its Turck Cloud Solutions service at the Hannover Messe. The data is transferred directly from Turck’s controller and I/O components to the cloud. For this, Turck is using the Kolibri protocol recently purchased from Beck IPC, which guarantees encrypted communication to the cloud.

Machines and systems of industry generate a range of data like temperature, pressure, energy consumption and vibration. These values are constantly measured by sensors, monitored and fed back to the control unit. The volume of data is massive and therefore it is necessary to filter out the relevant data and evaluate it. The intelligent data analysis method “Industrial analytics” takes production to another level and Weidmüller is playing a major role.

Conventional automation and power measurement technology are increasingly converging. With the integration of the new Beckhoff EL3783 oversampling terminal for power monitoring into standard control systems, high-precision grid analysis becomes available for power-generating systems.

The Störtebeker brewery based in Germany brews a total of 17 traditional and modern beer varieties. These beers are served on tap in venues such as Hamburg’s new Elbphilharmonie concert hall, and can also be taken away in a growler to enjoy that freshly-tapped taste at home. The growler filling station from Austria uses technology supplied by Siemens.

With the EK1000, Beckhoff expands the EtherCAT I/O system with a new Bus Coupler. The device enables the communication of EtherCAT segments with remote EtherCAT controllers via heterogeneous Ethernet networks.
