All Rights Reserved.10Integrating multiple position sensors into a Profibus machine control network can be a complex and expensive task. Balluff’s Profibus/Micropulse interface block simplifies the process and drastically reduces cost by enabling up to four Micropulse linear position transducers to be connected on a single Profibus node, using the economical digital START/STOP interface. In addition, the Profibus/Micropulse interface block has four extra inputs for either discrete or analog sensors. ...http://us.profibus.com/rss_router.aspx?section=news&id=207Tue, 13 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMTThe PTO has completed the schedule for the no-cost one-day training classes for 2010.

Rising maintenance costs for this aging system lead to the decision to modernize the system with a process control concept that relies on a decentralized I/O system over PROFIBUS and on a high-availability concept based on system redundancy. Softing’s enhanced PROFIBUS protocol software provided the foundation ...http://us.profibus.com/rss_router.aspx?section=news&id=203Fri, 14 May 2010 00:00:00 GMTNew RapID™ Platform is “ready to use” and breaks previous bill-of-material and time-to-market ...http://us.profibus.com/rss_router.aspx?section=news&id=201Mon, 10 May 2010 00:00:00 GMTPTO will host its 16th Annual General Assembly Meeting in Scottsdale, AZ beginning August 3 and concluding August 5.
