‘Foundation Fieldbus’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
HBM torque flange has measuring range from 200Nm from
HBM GmbH, which we summarised at the time by saying "HBM has improved the performance of its T40 multi-purpose torque flange with a new rated measuring range from 200Nm. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Yokogawa enhances production control system from
Yokogawa: "Yokogawa Electric Corporation has announced the release of Centum VP R4.02, an enhanced version of the company's integrated production control system. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Pepperl+Fuchs GB
- take a look at Pepperl+Fuchs announces remote I/O systems
which says: "Designed to facilitate the connection of traditional input and output signals onto a bus network, Pepperl+Fuchs has introduced the LB/FB remote I/O systems.".
Take a look also at the news release from SKF UK, SKF units improve continuous-cast milling,
as well as Watlow's Profibus DP simplifies plant design from Watlow,
and MVD transmitter technology enhances Emerson meters from Emerson Process Management.
