We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "DIP Switches",
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 Curtains protect fingers, hands and bodies from
TR Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Lightbarrier series of safety light curtains conform to IEC61496-1 and IEC61496-2 standards and are classified as Type 4 safety according to EN954-1".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Driver handles wide stepper motor range from
US Digital: "The MD2S-P is a conventional step and direction input stepper motor drive while the MD2S-D is a digital speed control version".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Festo
concerning its CMMS-ST motor controller
- take a look at Stepper motors cut costs
which says: "Festo's CMMS-ST controller and EMMS-ST stepper motor combination delivers up to 6.5nm torque and speeds up to 2000rev/min".
Take a look also at the news release from Rockwell Automation, AC drives receive new interface options,
as well as Convertors suit industrial Ethernet from Ethernet Direct,
and Adapter connects devices over network from Westermo Data Communications.
