The ever-increasing trend of automating mobile machines and heavy vehicles requires more sophisticated and efficient components, especially sensors which are expected to deliver all the required functions, such as safety-relevant data, with optimum precision.
Developers of industrial automation systems are looking to shift away from the reliance on proprietary solutions for process synchronisation to standard-based solutions that offer broader compatibility and reduce design costs.
Melexis announces the MLX91230 and the MLX91231, offering access to shunt or Hall-type current sensor technologies.
With the new AL4xxx digital input modules from ifm electronic, sensors can now be connected directly to PROFINET and EtherNet/IP fieldbus networks which, in many applications, greatly simplifies the network infrastructure.
TriEye, a global technology company specialising in cost-effective, next-gen imaging and 3D solutions, announces the launch of its proprietary SEDAR platform.
