An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release GE Fanuc releases RTU version of PAC8000 from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has introduced the PAC8000 RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) Controller, a rugged, field-mountable platform. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release SK 200E frequency inverter range launched by Nord from Nord Drivesystems: "Nord Gear's SK 200E frequency inverter range combines a sensorless current vector drive with control and communications features in a compact IP55 or IP66 rated enclosure.".
 
In July 2009, we covered the news from Schmitt Europe - take a look at Lambert fits Schmitt AEMS into Bryant grinder which says: "Lambert recently won an order to rebuild a Bryant grinding machine for Revolvo, a midlands-based manufacturer of large and split bearings. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from PI (Physik Instrumente), Positioning stages with sub-nanometre resolution, as well as NI develops controller for wireless testing from National Instruments, and Jet Edge to exhibit at WJTA Conference from Jet Edge.
