The popular real-time POWERLINK fieldbus continues to excite. The Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group (EPSG) will be presenting numerous new devices featuring POWERLINK and openSAFETY at its new location in Hall 2, Booth 410 at SPS IPC Drives.
New POWERLINK devices
New POWERLINK-enabled products from companies like LTi, Fraba POSITAL, Crevis, Elobau, SIKO, B&R and Advantech will be showcased in Nuremberg from November 25-27. “Our membership has surged by more than 15 percent this year,” says Stefan Schönegger, managing director of the EPSG. The last quarter alone saw the addition of LTi, Indu-Sol, Fedegari, DUKANE, Renesas, elobau, Eltromat and Advantech. This growth is reflected in the many new products on display.
openSAFETY: New version
Also on exhibit at the EPSG booth will be the openSAFETY protocol. Recently released V1.4 of the openSAFETY distribution features numerous improvements and will be presented for the first time to a larger audience. An openSAFETY demo will also show how easily openSAFETY can be integrated into a wide range of automation solutions.
