An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics from HEM Data Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "HEM Data has introduced the Dawn Mini Logger, which fits within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard for in-vehicle diagnostics. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Galil controller aids border patrol surveillance from Galil Motion Control: "Galil Motion Control has provided a DMC-4020 controller for the US Border Patrol's surveillance system. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from RDP Electronics - take a look at RDP transducers give direct analogue output which says: "RDP Electronics' rugged MTS R Series analogue transducers are suited to a range of industrial applications that require a direct analogue output for continuous measurement of displacement and speed. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Aerotech, Pan-and-tilt positioner integrates electronics, as well as SICK introduces single- and multi-turn encoders from Sick Stegmann, and AC drives permit wider use of magnet motors from Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division.
