The UNO-3072 can withstand high temperatures and vibrating environments to fulfill tough requirements. Lastly, it’s an open platform which can fulfill demanding requirements from the field and is an ideal solution for any industrial automation or control task.

Westermo Data Communications has released a new range of industrial Ethernet routers with integrated 4-port switches. As PPP routers they employ dial-in or dial-out, and are used to link several local Ethernet networks or to gain access to a remote Ethernet network. They provide the best levels of security and harsh environment compliance making them the ideal solution for such demanding applications as traffic signalling, water treatment, aerospace, petrochemical and mining, etc

Each switch allows up to seven Ethernet clients to be connected via M12 sockets (with D-coding) at the front of the device. Further Ethernet connections can be made over the backplane inside a 19-inch rack.

International Ethernet Link, a new network service on Ethernet standard, ensures the interconnection of businesses sites throughout the world with its data centers. It allows multinationals to consolidate their IT operations to reduce costs, guaranteeing a secure and reliable exchange of their business voice, image and data flow.

The Sealed SFP assemblies are designed to maximize valuable PCB real estate, while providing an environmentally-sound interface. They feature an IP67-rated hardened user interface for dust and water protection. Additionally, their durable diecast receptacles have electronically conductive sealing gaskets that deliver EMI suppression in a rugged housing.

To address this vast potential market, Ethernet Direct in cooperation with its Global Network in India, Pako, now provides 4 support locations in Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore and soon in Delhi. The team of experts in India focuses on Integration in Industrial Automation.

Multi-vendor service management, PBB-TE ready edge and aggregation portfolio will accelerate Ethernet planning, provisioning and protection for partners and service providers

InfiniBand hasn't caught on widely, despite the ambitions of its designers, but it is used to connect servers into high-performance compute clusters and to link machines that jointly house large databases. "Where severs in close proximity have to move a lot of data really quickly and with low latency (communication delays), that's a good fit for InfiniBand,"

This module can support up to 16 readers in EMS' Submet16 network, allowing virtually unlimited expansion of RFID information within a plant environment. With an Ethernet network of RFID readers, operators can monitor networks, run individual controller diagnostics, change commands, and much more whether on or off site...

The addition of the transmit disable function enables the units to function as drop-in replacements for existing 2x5 SFF single-mode transceiver footprints, allowing instant upgrade for multimode applications. The units are available for operation over the standard commercial (0°C to 70°C) or industrial (-40°C to 85°C) temperature ranges...
