Rolling stock, in developed and developing countries alike, plays a key role in driving a nation’s industrial development. For example, high-speed railway not only bolsters the national economy, but also brings prosperity to the people. Therefore, secure, reliable, and always-on network systems must be deployed to allow the control center to monitor railway systems in real time and ensure passengers a comfortable and safe journey. However, ...

Littelfuse has introduced the SM24CANA Series 200W TVS Diode Array (SPA Diodes), for protecting the automotive Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transient (EFT), and other overvoltage transients. It absorbs repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in the IEC61000-4-2 international standard without performance degradation and safely dissipates 3A of surge current wit...

Conel, a subsidiary of B&B Electronics, has expanded its family of wireless routers to include the Conel Bivias v2 industrial cellular router which will be available throughout Europe. Featuring dual, independent communications modules, the router can connect to two different cellular carriers at the same time.
