‘Programmable Controllers’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Dawn Mini Logger enables in-vehicle diagnostics from
HEM Data Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "HEM Data has introduced the Dawn Mini Logger, which fits within the mating OBD (J1962) connector under the dashboard for in-vehicle diagnostics. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Pitch gears with intelligent shaft sealing from
Freudenberg Simrit LP: "Simrit has developed a radial-shaft seal system featuring a leakage sensor that allows for telediagnosis of the shaft seal and automatically sends a signal when the seal's wear limit is reached. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from 3Dconnexion
- take a look at 3Dconnexion 3D mice extend power of Catia V6R2010
which says: "3Dconnexion has announced its range of 3D mice, including the Spacepilot Pro flagship 3D mouse, is now supported by Dassault Systemes' Catia Version 6 2010 virtual design solution. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Watlow, Watlow's Profibus DP simplifies plant design,
as well as Emerson installs controls at Korean plants from Emerson Process Management,
and Maplesoft solution enables fast model development from Adept Scientific.
