An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Martek releases compact onboard DC/DC converters from Martek Power, which we summarised at the time by saying "Martek Power has announced the release of the 200UFR series compact 2W onboard DC/DC converters.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Namur approves Wirelesshart for process uses from Hart Communication Foundation: "Namur has announced that Wirelesshart technology meets the requirements for wireless sensor networks in process applications.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Lios Technology - take a look at DTS system monitors power cable temperature which says: "Lios has supplied its DTS system to a renewable energy company for monitoring the temperature of two medium-voltage power cables coming from a wind turbine towards the substation. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Merlin Control Systems, Weld controller manages three transformers, as well as Alrad introduces GigE Vision line scan camera from Alrad Instruments, and GE controller firmware has online programming from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK.
