COM adds fast connection to industrial devices
The Anybus CompactCom 40-series provides industrial devices with multi-network connectivity with a specific focus on industrial Ethernet. Suitable for high-end industrial applications with high performance demands, the units are available in chip, brick and module formats. The 40-series solution for PROFINET enables fast communication between the host device and PROFINET, and supports PROFINET RT Class 1 and 3.
Wire-to-board are designed for vehicle roof antennas
Hirose has developed a small, multi-terminal, wire-to-board connector that significantly reduces the installation time of automotive rooftop antennas. The GT36 series connector provides a one-step connection of multiple coaxial cables to the PCB, simplifying the mating operation.
Compact industrial PC features dual LAN connectivity
Logic Supply has previewed its upcoming ML100 ultra-small form factor industrial PC, combining the compact power of Intel’s NUC platform with a ruggedised enclosure. In addition to taking advantage of the latest generation Intel Broadwell processors, one of the ML100 models will feature dual LAN connectivity, a feature often requested by NUC system integrators previously limited to one LAN port.
Better monitoring & management of IoT Infrastructure
Highlighting the importance of maintaining business continuity and reducing downtime, Lantronix demonstrated IoT infrastructure management and mobile printing solutions at Cloud Expo Europe 2015, in London. Products on show included the SLC 8000 advanced console manager, the PremierWave XC HSPA+ intelligent gateway and application server, the SLB 8824 branch office manager and the xPrintServer which enables native mobile printing.
Knives out for immortal combat
Two armour clad warriors face each other in the field of battle, armed to the teeth. One wields a sword, one a fearsome axe. Faces are hidden behind black, industrial grilles, reminiscent of Darth Vader's gruesome mask. The combatants take a step toward each other and pause. A bell sounds and the fighters launch themselves at one another, twirling in a capoeira-style flurry of strokes, before one lands a sickening blow... and the fight resumes.
I2C core acts as master transmitter or master receiver
The I2C is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus, which provides simple and efficient method of short distance data transmission between many devices. But reality shows that the I2C bus can be very confusing, not just for newcomers. The DI2CM core from Digital Core Design, of Poland, provides an interface between a MPU or MCU and the I2C bus. It can work as a master transmitter or a master receiver.
Panel PCs are powerful & lightweight
The ARCHMI panel PC range is now even more scalable, with quad core Intel Atom processor (ARCHMI-8XX) and Intel Core i3 processor (ARCHMI-9XX) variants. The PCs have been constructed from a single piece of die cast aluminium, providing an lightweight yet strong solution. Despite the core material improvement, minimised assembly costs result in reduced unit costs.
Computer system meets distributed computing requirements
Suitable for the distributed computing requirements of various vertical segments, the PL-80670 embedded system has been introduced by WIN Enterprises. The fanless system is powered by the 5th gen Intel Core processor, which provides enhanced graphics and compute performance. The processor also maintains backward capability with devices using previous generation processors.
Access control platform is web-based
Suprema has launched BioStar 2, a web-based IP access control platform. BioStar 2 seamlessly integrates the company's biometric technology with an enhanced security solution to offer simplicity, convenience and performance. BioStar 2 is built with a new design style that focuses on enhancing user experience. All of the functions and features of the system can be used with only a few simple clicks.
