Moxa Inc. presents its expertise in Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology at the SPS IPC Drives 2018 trade show, offering visitors a glimpse into how standard Ethernet with TSN technology will enable the exchange of all data in parallel or vertical automation architectures in real time and with low deterministic latency, thus unlocking the possibilities of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0.

Moxa Inc. Introduces its edge gateway for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that provides Microsoft Azure customers with an easy-to-use solution to extend their IT infrastructure and facilitate OT data connectivity within their industrial applications.

ER-Soft distributes this equipment to easily communicate between two different industrial protocols.

This all-in-one solution allows you to connect sensors and actuators to a single module. Simultaneously, you can safely disconnect the actuator segment via its separately switchable safety circuit, as this module is divided into two galvanically isolated segments.

Panduit's range of RJ45 jack locking devices ensures the security of your network infrastructure. Compatible with most RJ45 connections, the locking device fits into the RJ45 jack and can only be released using a special removal tool, preventing unauthorized network access and saving time and money associated with data breaches, network downtime, repairs, and replacement hardware.

Rockwell Automation introduces the Allen-Bradley Guardmaster GuardLink safety system, a new safety-based communications protocol that helps operators reduce and improve machine downtime and diagnostics.

Moxa's new UC-3100 series computers can be used as intelligent field gateways for data preprocessing and transmission, as well as for other embedded data acquisition applications. The UC-3100 series includes three models, each with different options and wireless protocols.

Omron Corporation has announced the international launch of its new NX1 series machine automation controller. Omron will release the NX-HAD4 high-speed analog input unit ^(*1) and the NX-SL5 safety CPU unit ^(*2) , both of which are compatible with the NX1 series.

TURCK, represented by Elion, has launched a new RFID module from its TBEN-L family (IP67, IP69K and extended temperature range -40ºC to +70ºC) with the ability to communicate via OPC-UA acting as a server.

Moxa announces the development of gateways for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that integrate Microsoft Azure IoT Edge, thus strengthening its promise to accelerate the convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT).

QNV presents the new SETO servers from Adlink. This is the new family of "extreme outdoor" servers, boasting high computing power and ultra-robust design, capable of operating outdoors.
They have been specifically designed for the new MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) architectures, which reduce traffic and decongest bandwidth in cloud-based networks for telecommunications applications.

Belden Inc. has launched a new family of MPLS-TP-based backbone switches with premium provisioning software: DRAGON PTN with Hirschmann HiProvision. This new backbone network device reliably and efficiently transports mission-critical data and ensures bandwidth in wide area networks thanks to MPLS-TP technology.

Moxa introduces its new series of LTE-ready Arm Linux IIoT gateways, the UC-2100, UC-3100, and UC-5100. These industrial computers are integrated into Arm-based Linux platforms that include Moxa Industrial Linux (MIL) and the optional ThingsPro™ gateway data collection software, thus simplifying the development of various IIoT gateway applications.

Belden Inc. has expanded Lumberg Automation's LioN family of power products to help industrial manufacturers meet the explosive connectivity needs of the IIoT through simplified device automation.

Er-Soft presents the second generation of the Anybus Wireless Bridge with an extended range of up to 400 m. It is fully compatible with version I, has the same dimensions, the same connector positions, and all LEDs are visible on the front.

Siemens expands its range of network components with the Scalance W1788 access points, which have been designed to facilitate the implementation of the current IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 WLAN standard in industrial applications.

HMS Industrial Networks now announces support for IoT OPC UA and MQTT protocols within the Anybus CompactCom embedded network solutions range.

Fujitsu expands its Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) capabilities with the INTELLIEDGE ecosystem, which includes advanced edge network processing capabilities.

Er-Soft presents this Anybus Modbus to KNX gateway, which allows server/slave devices in Modbus RTU/Modbus TCP to communicate with a KNX network.

2017 was undoubtedly a year of significant change for Latin America. Most telecommunications service providers are striving to differentiate themselves in a region undergoing constant globalization. Some operators find their competitive advantage in the agility of service provisioning; others in reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO).
