transportation, and video and security sectors, as well as other bandwidth-intensive industrial applications. NT328G Layer 3 industrial Ethernet models feature a flexible mix of copper and fiber ports, allowing for a vast variety of connection options, with Layer 3 routing that provides the ability to route across VLANs or subnets—versatility that ensures scalability. The industrial-grade NT328G’s robust feature set includes network redundancy, advanced, integrated security, policy-based traffic control and easy-to-use configuration and management—reducing operating costs while providing continuous monitoring of network activity. Its sleek but rugged IP30 rackmount metal housing is constructed for long-life use in harsh industrial environments, including wide operating temperature conditions and hazardous locations—durability that ensures reduced downtime.
Westermo: Critical infrastructure systems rely on communication devices to provide reliable and secure networks. To support this requirement Westermo has launched the MRD-455-NA, a 4G router designed to provide resilient, secure high-speed remote access across cellular networks. Offering an industrial design and a broad range of connectivity features, the MRD-455-NA ensures reliable machine to machine communications. The MRD-455-NA is well-suited to industrial control applications where reliable machine to machine communication is vital. It has a compact design with all interfaces and LEDs at the front, DIN-rail mounting, isolated power supply and an operating voltage range spanning from 10 to 60 VDC. This industrial cellular broadband router offers a broad range of connectivity options, supporting many mobile standards including 3G and 4G LTE. A GPS antenna port enables customers to track remote assets by location which can be helpful in order to reduce the time it takes to locate equipment in an area. It offers Virtual Private Network (VPN) functionality, enabling secure tunnels to be created over insecure networks, such as the Internet. Dual SIM support ensures that connectivity is not dependent on a single carrier.

simultaneous actions. The sensor is also able to read out a resolution up to 0,5 µm, which is a first for a magnetostrictive POWERLINK sensor. POWERLINK is a software-based solution that complies with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard. Available in rod style (RH) and profile style (RP), the R-Series V POWERLINK sensor has several special features that make them suited for a variety of applications. With 250 µs, the sensor achieves the same minimum cycle time as the R-Series V Profinet. In addition, the extrapolation of the new sensor enables the output of a new position value for each polling cycle, regardless of the sensor's stroke length. The sensor also supports multi-position and multi-velocity measurement with up to 30 magnets. Backward compatibility based on proven electrical connections and mechanical designs allows for seamless integration into existing applications.

Beckhoff: TwinCAT Analytics offers automated functionality for converting analysis configurations into executable PLC code, and now also includes dashboard generation. With One-Click Dashboard (OCD), all it takes for users to generate an entire HTML5-based analytics dashboard based on the PLC code and to load it into a selected Analytics Runtime container is a simple mouse click. When the process completes, users receive a network address that they can then use to access the dashboard in a web browser. This ability to generate dashboards without the need to write a single line of code or design graphics is a huge time-saver within the engineering process. Based on TwinCAT 3 HMI, the new functionality provides at least one HMI Control for every TwinCAT Analytics algorithm, each with an up-to-date tile design that follows the latest web standards.
