Continuous communication right down to sensor/actuator level, bidirectional and with access to additional data - IO-Link also increases the potential of industrial cloud services.

The managed switches in Weidmüller's Advanced Line support protocols such as STP/RSTP or SNMP and can be configured intuitively via a browser-based web interface.

The unmanaged Ethernet switches from Helmholz are just 49 mm wide in the 5-port version and 65 mm for 8 ports, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications thanks to their compact design.
Automatically detecting all IO-Link devices in a machine, automatically downloading their device descriptions and parameterizing and monitoring them over their entire life cycle independently of the control system and fieldbus - a software tool meets this challenge.

As part of our printed May issue, we would like to share the latest supplement from the Profibus Nutzerorganisation e.V. with you. You can find the PI magazine as an e-paper here.
The 'Ex i' type of intrinsic safety has become established worldwide for measurement and control technology in systems with potentially explosive atmospheres. Compared to other types of protection, it is more cost-effective in terms of design.
"Three questions for..." - the May edition
People react differently to the coronavirus and its consequences. What is it like in everyday working life? In the new part of our "Three questions for..." series, we look at this topic and asked automation experts for their opinions.

ASi-5 requires power supplies that are adapted to the requirements of the new standard.
Over the past month, we have reported on a wide range of automation technologies: TSN, OPC UA, cloud computing and IO-Link, to name just a few topics. We also spoke to automation experts about the current state of affairs.
