Conference sees the launch of global seminar series focusing on the technology and business benefits of implementing Ethernet/IP.
During its 2006 CIP Networks Conference and 11th Annual Meeting of Members, ODVA elected officers, announced various global activities and initiatives for CIP networks and hosted presentations focusing on several leading-edge manufacturing network technologies.
Representatives of 60 member organisations from around the world attended this meeting, which was held from 20th to 23rd February in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
The newly elected ODVA officers are: President Doug McEldowney; Executive Director Katherine Voss; Treasurer Steve Freedman; Chief Technology Officer Rich Harwell; and Secretary Katherine Voss.
Elected representatives for the regular membership include Dave Dodds and Steve Freedman on the ODVA board of directors and Jorgen Palmhager on the ODVA technical review board.
ODVA also presented the first in a series of seminars focusing on the technology and business benefits of implementing Ethernet/IP.
The seminars, titled "Ethernet/IP: The Proven and Complete Solution for Manufacturing Automation", will be offered at various locations in countries around the world in 2006, including China, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea the UK and the USA.
An additional series, "Ethernet/IP: Quick Start", for vendors interested in learning the steps required to build an Ethernet/IP product, will be held globally this year.
It was further announced that the future adaptation of CIP previously known as Project Cipnet SA has been formally named Componet.
This CIP network is targeted at applications dominated by simple sensors and actuators, and an introductory training session was given during the conference's training track.
Other announced activities include recognising and supporting ODVA members who, as part of the CIP Conformity Club, have made a commitment to conformance testing their products.
And, according to Voss, initiatives related to CIP motion, Ethernet/IP safety and the US Council for Automotive Research will be announced during the next six weeks.
Annual meeting presentations focused on the hot topics of power over Ethernet (Phoenix Contact) and intelligent networked manufacturing (Cisco Systems), and included a panel of experts discussing what's ahead for Ethernet/IP.
White papers related to a range of topics including CIP sync, CIP motion, CIP safety on Ethernet/IP, successfully designing Ethernet/IP devices for harsh areas, FDT/DTM and Componet were presented during the event's technical track.
