Hy-Line Technology is expanding its portfolio of 5G-capable industrial routers and gateways.

The 'Promesh B8 compact' from Indu-Sol is a managed switch with eight ports and a further development of the established 'Promesh B8'.

Belden launches the Lite Managed Switch product family 'Lemur', offering features such as advanced security and Full Gigabit Ethernet.

esd electronics has equipped the 'CAN-CBX-Bridge-FD' with CAN FD functionality. The CAN-Bridge enables the simple integration of CAN Classic devices into CAN FD networks, including the conversion of baud rate or extended frame format.

The use of Profinet with 100 Mbit/s or Gigabit Ethernet does not have to be mutually exclusive when implementing industrial machine networks, as Helmholz demonstrates with the 'Flextra Profinet switch'.

Lapp is launching switches for use outside the control cabinet: Thanks to IP67 classification, the Etherline Access PN IP67 Profinet switch and the Etherline Access U IP67 unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch are suitable for use directly in the field.
Innovation does not always have to be disruptive; it can also be a synergy of two existing technologies. A current example of this is the combination of IoT and blockchain, i.e. the combination of connectivity and decentralization in the Internet of Things.

The interfaces of the GW4101 IoTmaxx gateways are now also available to users via Modbus RTU and TCP for communication with the process control system.

The latest version of the integration solution 'FabEagle Connect' from Kontron now also supports user groups with little programming experience thanks to a web client with a low-code approach.

The latest addition to the range of ASi-5 modules with integrated IO-Link master from Bihl+Wiedemann is the ASi-5 module BWU4386 in IP67 with eight IO-Link master ports Class A.
