Start with
the news release Automation agreement reached from
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "GE Fanuc Automation's Proficy Process Systems are set to use Pepperl + Fuchs for Profibus connectivity, following an agreement between the two companies".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Process control system improves reliability from
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK: "Proficy Process Systems is a fully integrated system that offers increased throughput, performance and efficiency, and reduced total cost of ownership".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Magnetrol International
concerning its Jupiter 200
- take a look at Liquid level transmitter offers high accuracy
which says: "Magnetrol's Jupiter is a loop-powered level transmitter that simultaneously measures top and liquid-liquid interface levels".
Take a look also at the news release from Ethernet Direct, Deal expands Greater China support network,
as well as Acquisition enhances industrial connectivity from Belden CDT Electronics,
and Temperature controls handle four zones from Gefran SIEI UK.
