A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Wireless specification progresses to IEC from
Hart Communication Foundation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Submitting WirelessHart as an IEC PAS is billed as a landmark for the process automation industry.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Industrial Ethernet switches dons conformal coat from
Ethernet Direct: "The IUE-500EC is designed especially for mission critical and harsh environmental applications with its conformal coating and extended temperature of -40 to +80C.".
In May 2008, we covered the news from Advantech (UK)
- take a look at Splitter provides power and data in one cable
which says: "Using the unused wires in a 10/100Base-T cable, or by overlaying power on the data connections, PoE supplies 15.4W of power at 48V DC.".
Take a look also at the news release from Venture Development Corp, Proprietary wireless still predominates,
as well as Ethernet switches offer four fibre optic ports from Sixnet,
and Ethernet switch autodetects links from Sixnet.
