Aerotech's new ETM (Enhanced Throughput Module) combines sensor measured micro-displacement and a user friendly GUI that identifies and helps to reduce unwanted machine base and frame motion in high precision, high performance positioning systems. By optimising point to point move settling times and minimising dynamic position errors for high speed contouring, the ETM allows high and ultra-high resolution positioning systems to realise improved t...

MEDER electronic, Inc. today introduced the MK24 series Reed Sensors measuring only 5mm x 1.8mm x 2.2mm they meet a minimum life expectancy of 50 million operations at 5V, 5mA, 100Hz. This tiny energy saving device requires no external power to operate making them especially well suited for low power applications. Sensitivity ranges from 1.5-10mT are available.

The typical UTP cable cannot over 100 meters length per segment. To break the standard distance barriers, AXIOMTEK introduces iCON-32300 industrial Ethernet extenders which can extend Ethernet connectivity in existing facilities over existing copper telephone wire or coaxial cable without pulling extra cable. These reliable and rugged devices with advantages of wide operating temperature range and long MTBF are ideal for building automation, secu...

On-card connectivity includes dual GbE or 10GbE Fabric Interfaces, dual GbE Base Interfaces, dual front panel Gb...

Maxim has introduced the MAX3799, a single-chip VCSEL driver and dual-path limiting-amplifier solution targeted at SFP+ Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. Fabricated using Maxim's MBiC3 IC technology, this device delivers up to 14Gbps performance, a wide range of programmable receiver and transmitter features, and only 320mW of power consumption. Packing the functions of two chips into one, the MAX3799 provides a low-cost, low-power solutio...

Avalue is announcing the high scalability of RISC-based embedded computing modules incorporated with the latest micro controllers based on ARM9, ARM11, and Cortex-A8 technology, and embedded software developing capabilities, providing low cost embedded computing solutions includes SoMs, SBCs, and Panel PCs to expand the applications in industrial fields.

Amplicon’s new Ethernet I/O range delivers major cost savings to customers that want to monitor and control devices over an IP network. The Moxa ioLogik E1200 series have an Ethernet switch built-in and are priced as one of the most cost-effective new ranges of Remote I/O products on the market today.

TorqSense RWT310/320 provides non-contact measurement of torque, speed, power and position of rotating shafts, such as machine drives. It uses tiny piezo-ceramic combs fixed to the shaft that distort in proportion to the instantaneous torque level. These create data signals that are transmitted via a radio frequency coupling rather than by conventional but clumsy slip rings. Because piezo technology requires so little power, this is also supplied...

ASSET InterTech, the supplier of open tools for embedded instrumentation for design validation, test and debug, and PLX Technology, Inc. the supplier of PCI Express (PCI) switch and bridge silicon, today announced that ASSET’s ScanWorks platform for embedded instrumentation is supporting the exclusive PLX visionPAK packet generator/system analyzer toolset.

nPulse Network Systems today announced the availability of the nPulse HammerHead 10 Gbps Capture and Replay system based on the Napatech NT20E 2 x 10 Gbps In-line adapter. HammerHead is the first traffic testing product to provide full line-rate 10 Gbps packet capture, record-to-disk and replay capabilities at an affordable price.
