IDC has launched a new addition to its ZigBee range of wireless mesh products for use in automation, manufacturing and logistical operations. The new ZB102 keypad is a programmable battery -powered wireless unit with keys that are easily customised to suit specific user applications. Typical applications for the ZB102 include operator prompts for manufacturing and logistic operations, remote control and position monitoring.

IDC is providing optimum interface capabilities for its ZigBee range of wireless mesh products, with the launch of its ZB104 Ethernet Gateway. Designed for use in logistics, warehouse distribution, manufacturing and medical sectors, the ZB104 is a dual function device, which acts as the central co-ordinator for a network of ZigBee devices; it also transfers data to and from the wireless network over Ethernet.

Having successfully supplied a ZigBeeTM based system to enable a leading UK motor vehicle manufacturer to ensure that all components for car production arrive JIT on the assembly line, IDC has now supplied a similar system to the French division of the same manufacturer. The French system called for IDC hardware to interface to an existing SCADA monitoring system. IDC overcame this problem by developing an OPC Server for their Ethernet Gateway, w...

IDC is expanding the scope of its ZigBee low power wireless network products, in range, network size and security, with the introduction of the new ZB109 Router. Designed for operation with IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee wireless sensor networks, the ZB109 provides redundancy in the event of a router failure. Up to 100 of the devices can be deployed in a wireless network using a single IDC ZB103/4 Gateway, the routers providing a range of up to 100m line-o...

ProSoft Technology® has developed 2 new Automation-Class industrial 802.11n solutions. These are dual-radio Industrial HotspotsTM. One is water-tight (IP67). Both enlarge the option given to Automation Engineers for high-speed wireless networks. Dual-radio solutions will allow longer distances, better performances while repeaters are involved, and allow 2 channels to be used simultaneously (for example: one for the automation application, while...

The new CTX beta 1250 4A from DMG offers two Y-axis turrets and transverse movement of a combined counter-spindle and tailstock assembly for highly productive turn-milling of complex components in one hit.

Red Lion Controls, Inc. announces a new Ethernet expansion card for the Data Station Plus and Modular Controller series products. The XCENET Ethernet expansion card allows operators to easily isolate machine level network traffic from the enterprise level network, benefiting both automation process engineers and IT managers. The engineer can simply assign a fixed IP address for the port connected to PLCs and drives, while the IT manager can eithe...

With the recent announcement from UK regulator OFCOM that it has made the 60GHz band available licence-free for fixed wireless links, HUBER+SUHNER expects a sharp take-up in the use of this long awaited wireless Ethernet solution.

NXP announced availability of its LPC1788 microcontroller – the industry’s first ARM Cortex-M3-based MCU to be shipping in volume with an integrated LCD controller. With up to 96 KB of on-chip SRAM and a 32-bit external memory interface, the LPC178x series allows customers to easily and cost-effectively add high-quality graphics to their applications. With support for a wide range of graphics display panels, the LPC178x series is ideal for in...

Analog Devices has announced that test and measurement equipment maker Rigol has selected ADI's Blackfin BF531 processor as the signal processing platform within its DS Series digital oscilloscopes and new DSA1030A series spectrum analysers. Leveraging Blackfin's converged platform for advanced signal and control processing, Rigol was enabled to develop high-performance test and measurement equipment that offers high-end features and functionalit...
