Pilz: Security on Board Automated Guided Vehicle Systems

Pilz: Security on Board Automated Guided Vehicle Systems

Freely navigating automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) in production halls communicate with their control station wirelessly. That means they are susceptible to attacks or tampering from outside. Map data can be queried; in the worst case, the AGVS and therefore production can even be halted. In order to protect human and machine, and therefore also industrial security, Pilz has a complete solution for automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS).

Beckhoff: CX82xx Embedded PC Series – Modern Multi-Core CPU, Double Main Memory, and Fast 1 Gbit Interface

With the ARM Cortex A53 processor, the new CX82xx Embedded PC series from Beckhoff uses a modern CPU architecture with two cores, thus offering more computing power for compact controls. The CX9240, which features the 4-core version of this processor, is even more powerful. A double main memory and 1 Gbit interfaces also contribute to the significant performance boosts compared to the predecessors.

Wieland: Robust Ethernet Switch for Use in the Field

Wieland: Robust Ethernet Switch for Use in the Field

The new IP67 ethernet switch from Wieland Electric enables reliable operation in harsh industrial and other environmental conditions. Industrial automation is increasingly relying on the decentralized and flexible connection of automation components. This also applies to IP or ethernet switches, which are no longer only mounted in the control cabinet, but also directly on the machine. In order to ensure the reliable operation of the network components under these circumstances, the devices must meet the requirements of harsher working environments.

FANUC: R-30iB Plus / R-30iB Mate Plus Robot Controller

FANUC: R-30iB Plus / R-30iB Mate Plus Robot Controller

FANUC’s new R-30iB Plus Robot Controllers feature the new iPendant with enhanced screen resolution and processing capability. The new user interface, iHMI, can display guides for setup and programming, as well as tutorials from the main home page which has a design common to FANUC CNCs, enabling easier use of robots. Using the programming guide, even first-time robot users can create a program for a simple handling task and execute it in just 30 minutes! Easier usage also improves efficiency by facilitating system setup and maintenance.
