‘Foundation Fieldbus’
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 Watlow's Profibus DP simplifies plant design from
Watlow: "Watlow has brought out the Profibus DP (Decentralized Peripherals) with EZ-Zone PM and EZ-Zone RM integrated temperature controllers. ".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Emerson Process Management
- take a look at MVD transmitter technology enhances Emerson meters
which says: "Emerson Process Management has announced the availability of the Model 2400S transmitter with next-generation MVD technology on its hygienic Micro Motion H-Series Coriolis meters.".
Take a look also at the news release from First Trace, First Trace launches Korrigo for AutoCAD LT rebate,
as well as Trio adds interface to motion coordinator range from Trio Motion Technology,
and Endress+Hauser releases temperature transmitters from Endress+Hauser.
