Kontron combines proven form factors with new features of the 11th Gen Intel Core processors.

TSN is becoming increasingly important for the realization of real-time applications for Industry 4.0. The TSN starter kit from Kontron helps to set up TSN environments quickly and securely.

The program for SPS Connect from 24 to 26 November has been announced. Mesago Messe Frankfurt is also presenting Siemens as an official partner.
Embedded systems in the industry
Embedded systems are playing an increasingly important role in modern production. They often work in the background. Users should take care to install systems that meet both current and possible future requirements.

Machines, logistics and products communicate in modern industrial plants. At INDUSTRIAL production + handling, Fraunhofer IPMS will be presenting solutions for industrial communication in the technology fields of Li-Fi, RFID sensors and communication IP cores.

The development of Industry 4.0 applications requires precise digital images of physical systems and processes in order to predict events and optimize operations in near real time. This requires modern network technologies that connect the applications on the factory floor with their digital images.

The latest open industrial Gigabit Ethernet from the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA), CC-Link IE TSN, supports Industry 4.0 applications with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN).

B&R is launching a product portfolio for communication with the open and real-time-capable OPC UA over TSN protocol. This includes X20 controllers, bus controllers, industrial and panel PCs and a TSN machine switch. This enables a standardized network for modular machine concepts.
Real-time communication via light
In automation technology, messages often have to be transmitted in the microsecond range, for example to synchronize machines or drives with each other. Fraunhofer IPMS has combined Li-Fi and Time Sensitive Networking to enable real-time capable and deterministic data transmission wirelessly.
Belden, a provider of signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, will be presenting solutions from the sensor to the cloud for the first time at SPS, including new switches, a multiport firewall and Single Pair Ethernet.
