1) Rescuing pharmaceutical batch production from obsolescence

With some of the strictest legislation on the planet, the life sciences industry has to address many major issues. However, thanks to advanced batch control systems and software, we are able to help address these issues in
this highly demanding sector.

2) The fundamentals of EtherNet/IP

With the recent announcement by the ODVA of the one millionth node installation, it is fair to say that EtherNet/IP has certainly established itself.

3) New ControlLogix has twice the memory

The newest extension to the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix family of controllers features 16MB of memory — twice the capacity of the most powerful existing model, for data-intensive applications requiring higher memory capacity.

7) DTM software drivers for FLEX and FLEX Ex I/O HART

FLEX and FLEX Ex I/O HART analogue modules now have Device Type Manager (DTM) software drivers available. DTMs are needed when customers want to use Field Device Tool (FDT) compliant asset management software such as FieldCare from Endress+Hauser or FieldCare HART communication bundle from Rockwell Software. When using HART I/O modules, the host control software and any HART-enabled field instruments are
able to communicate directly with each other because the HART I/O module passes through the HART data, allowing access to critical device information for calibration, configuration, diagnostics and predictive maintenance.

Download from the I/O web page. Select "Configuration Files" in the left navigation bar and then select "DTM Files for HART."
