‘Fieldbus Protocol’

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 Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics from HEM Data Corp: "HEM Data has introduced the Dawn Mini Logger, which fits within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard for in-vehicle diagnostics. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Boge Compressors - take a look at DS refrigerant dryers reduce energy consumption which says: "Boge has brought out a range of energy-saving refrigerant dryers. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Watlow, Watlow's Profibus DP simplifies plant design, as well as Smart-Trak 2 wins Flow Control Magazine award from Sierra Instruments, and MVD transmitter technology enhances Emerson meters from Emerson Process Management.
