Anton Meindle from Bernecker + Rainer Industrie Elektronik has been elected to join the EPSG board of directors.
At the EPSG general meeting, Anton Meindle from Bernecker + Rainer Industrie Elektronik was unanimously elected to join the EPSG board of directors.
Meindl (39), Business Manager at the head office of Bernecker + Rainer Industrie Elektronik in Eggelsberg, Austria, is responsible for the development of classic memory programmable controllers, distributed I/Os and field buses as well as safety features.
After completing his studies in electronics and industrial engineering in Munich, Meindl worked in the areas of applications, marketing, project management and production automation with a number of international companies.
He joined B and R in 1999 and has been in charge of the Controls Business Unit since 2000.
"Ethernet Powerlink has already been in use successfully for a number of years".
"No other system can come close to boasting more than 100,000 installed nodes in around 10,000 mass-produced machines".
"It is already the leading industrial Ethernet system on the market", says Meindl.
"I look forward to working with the EPSG board in order to develop this trend even further".
In Anton Meindl, the EPSG has one of the most respected experts on Ethernet Powerlink on its board of directors.
As head of the Controls Business Unit at B and R and through his involvement with Ethernet Powerlink from the beginning, he already deserves credit for the success of the protocol.
"In Anton Meindl we have exactly the right person to direct the future development of Ethernet Powerlink", explains Dr Edwin Kiel, Chairman of the EPSG.
"Together we will consolidate Ethernet Powerlink's leading market position".
The Ethernet Powerlink Standardisation Group board now consists of the following five people: Dr Edwin Kiel (Lenze), Chairman; Prof Thomas Muller (University of Zurich, Winterthur); Andreas Dreher (Hirschmann Automation and Control); Prof Konrad Etschberger (University of Ravensburg-Weingarten); and Anton Meindl (Bernecker + Rainer Industrie-Elektronik).
