‘Fieldbus Modules’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Lifebatt battery modules include management system from
Lifebatt, which we summarised at the time by saying "Lifebatt Lithium Iron Phosphate battery modules are equipped with advanced management systems to monitor and balance each cell. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Lifebatt offers high-power expertise from
Lifebatt: "Lifebatt provides large-format rechargeable power solutions for a range of applications.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Rittal
- take a look at Rittal's PSM measures power consumption per socket
which says: "Rittal has extended its Power System Module (PSM) range to allow the power consumption of individual servers and peripheral hardware to be measured per socket. ".
Take a look also at the news release from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK, GE controller firmware has online programming,
as well as Eaton launches Memshield 3 distribution boards from Eaton,
and S series shaft motor has combined linear encoders from Micromech.
