To continue a practice-oriented further development of PROFIBUS and PROFINET, a deep understanding of users’ requirements with respect to Industrie 4.0 scenarios is needed. For this reason, use cases have been developed, assessed and harmonized first in the working...
Today, the field devices in processing plants, flow control, pressure and temperature, for example, but also the actuator technology are controlled either by 4-20 mA signals or by fieldbuses – such as PROFIBUS. They have proven well in their application for many...
The SPS/IPC/Drives Show just closed its doors and I must say it was an exciting show. Of course, Industrie 4.0 and IIoT dominated the fair from the 30 thousand foot view, but the terms tend to be too vague and everyone has their own views about what these describe. On...
En arquitecturas modernas de sistemas de control, las redes de campo juegan un papel fundamental para lograr integración, escalabilidad y diagnóstico. Sin embargo, para lograr explotar todo el potencial que este tipo de arquitecturas poseen se necesita personal...
The PI Booth at the SPS/IPC/Drives Show hosted hundreds of show visitors seeking information on PROFINET, PROFIBUS, and IO-Link. Trade press editors flocked to the PI Press Conference on Wednesday morning for additional news. PI Booth The 3,500 sq. ft. booth was...
At the beginning of the year it’s a time to reflect a bit on the year gone by and look ahead to the new year. In 2016 we watched the continuing evolution of the concepts of Industrie 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)… and PROFINET’s place in them (we...
