The hardware behind the Industrial Ethernet scenes
Industrial environments are increasingly characterized by automation and the networking and communication of various devices.

The new RadiCal 2 centrifugal fan for domestic ventilation and enclosure cooling is here! And with it, a densely staggered series of centrifugal fans that sets new standards. Compared to its predecessor, it is 3 dB(A) quieter with the same size and consumes 18 % less energy.

Data, network and bus technology
In the 12th edition of the "Data, Network & Bus Technology" catalog, Helukabel presents its expanded product portfolio in these areas.

Belden has launched a complete solution for the configuration and use of TSN in Industrial Ethernet networks. This solution from Hirschmann combines the TSN firmware versions of the Industrial Ethernet switches with the Industrial HiVision 8.0 network management software.

The EtherCAT Technology Group has released a new vendor-independent diagnostic interface that enables third-party providers to access diagnostic data from EtherCAT networks. The software-based interface can be implemented in the EtherCAT masters of any manufacturer.

Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a standard that allows time-controlled and prioritized transmission of real-time critical messages via standard Ethernet hardware for the first time. With the TSN IP Core, developers at Fraunhofer IPMS offer system manufacturers and operators the opportunity to equip their devices for the new TSN standards.
Interview with Georg Stawowy, Lapp
With Industry 4.0, the requirements for data communication in factories are growing, particularly due to real-time communication. SCOPE talks to Georg Stawowy, Director of Technology and Innovation at Lapp, about what this means for connection systems and what the future standards will be.

The Escha Group grew by 34% compared to the previous year and achieved record sales of 68.5 million euros in 2017.
