Start with the news release
Namur approves Wirelesshart for process uses from
Hart Communication Foundation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Namur has announced that Wirelesshart technology meets the requirements for wireless sensor networks in process applications.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release DTS system monitors power cable temperature from
Lios Technology: "Lios has supplied its DTS system to a renewable energy company for monitoring the temperature of two medium-voltage power cables coming from a wind turbine towards the substation. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK
- take a look at GE controller firmware has online programming
which says: "GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has released its Versamax Micro Plus controller firmware revision 4.0. ".
Take a look also at the news release from HBM GmbH, HBM torque flange has measuring range from 200Nm,
as well as Yokogawa enhances production control system from Yokogawa,
and Pepperl+Fuchs announces remote I/O systems from Pepperl+Fuchs GB.
