We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital Communications",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Power controllers offer flexible configuration from
Eurotherm, which we summarised at the time by saying "By using iTools customers can easily check the status of parameters, make changes or diagnose the unit either on a test bench or in the field without disturbing the process".
The day before,
we featured the news release Servo drives combine reliability and flexibility from
Control Techniques: "The Digitax ST range has been designed to provide lean manufacturing environments with smaller, more flexible machinery".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Hima-Sella
- take a look at Evening seminar tackles safety issues
which says: "A safety seminar will be held on the evening of Tuesday 24th April 2007 at the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre in Widnes".
Take a look also at the news release from MTL Instruments Group, Group focuses on industrial networking,
as well as New integrated fire and gas detection system from General Monitors,
and New integrated fire and gas detection system from General Monitors.
