‘Fieldbus Communications’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from
Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release GE controller firmware has online programming from
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK: "GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has released its Versamax Micro Plus controller firmware revision 4.0. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Cable Labels USA
- take a look at Cable labels can be printed by installer
which says: "Cable Labels USA's range of cable labels enable installers to print their own cable labels using any office laser printer. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Nord Drivesystems, Nord subassemblies include gearbox and motor,
as well as HBM torque flange has measuring range from 200Nm from HBM GmbH,
and Yokogawa enhances production control system from Yokogawa.
