‘Fieldbus Communications’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from SKF UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Web videos teach how to use Amplicon products from Amplicon: "Amplicon has announced a new online video initiative to help customers configure and commission the company's products and technologies. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Watlow - take a look at Watlow's Profibus DP simplifies plant design which says: "Watlow has brought out the Profibus DP (Decentralized Peripherals) with EZ-Zone PM and EZ-Zone RM integrated temperature controllers. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Emerson Process Management, Emerson wireless monitor gives position feedback, as well as MVD transmitter technology enhances Emerson meters from Emerson Process Management, and Trio adds interface to motion coordinator range from Trio Motion Technology.
