During commissioning, the focus is on functional and quality testing of individual system components. Under time pressure, however, unexpected and non-reproducible anomalies in PROFINET communication often occur. This is not unusual, as shown by the “bathtub curve” in the graphic below. Still, the recurring question remains: Why now, when everything has already worked flawlessly before? A high error rate at the beginning is not unique to electrical, mechanical, or network systems. It is a normal and necessary phase when transitioning a machine or plant into continuous operation and ensuring long-term availability. It only becomes problematic when this phase is unexpectedly prolonged - because device failures reappear at different points in the network over time. This is frustrating, time-consuming, and ultimately costly due to unexpected downtime.

The modular, flexible structure enables adaptation to the individual framework conditions of each project. Regardless of the data source, measuring points can be easily and quickly integrated into any configurable hierarchy structures and combined to form various key figures.

The Eplan Platform: a foundation for efficient engineering The Eplan Platform brings together software solutions for various engineering disciplines. Using piping and instrumentation diagrams, electrical schematics, detailed evaluations, control cabinet layouts in 3D and machine cabling in 3D, a complete digital twin of the automation systems for your machine or plant system is created in the process. Eplan is the standard for electrical engineering. The easy exchange of projects allows plant operators to work together with machine and plant system manufacturers as well as their control cabinet manufacturers using a standardised foundation of data. Having a free choice between graphic and data-oriented working methods makes it easy for different user groups to integrate Eplan into their everyday work. Electrical engineering designs can be easily standardised with flexible circuit templates and subcircuits. Recurring circuits can be stored in libraries and combined into new schematics specific to each current project.

Since 2-port industrial Ethernet devices are flexible and redundant and 1-port devices are suitable for simple, inexpensive and space-saving use, Hilscher also offers LFW (loadable firmware) solutions for the netX 90 as a single-endpoint communication device. The NXHX 90-SPE evaluation board allows users to evaluate the single-endpoint function as a rapid prototyping platform for all important physical layers. The NXHX 90-SPE evaluation board can be used directly with Hilscher's netX Studio CDT. netX Studio CDT is a free Eclipse-based IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that contains everything required to configure, develop, and debug embedded applications. The software examples for different protocols, e.g. PROFINET IO device and EtherNet/IP adapter, contain the communication firmware as loadable firmware (LFW), which only needs to be configured and loaded by the user. - NXEB 90-SPE supports the following protocols: - PROFINET IO-Device - PROFIBUS DP Slave - EtherNet/IP Adapter - EtherCAT Slave - DeviceNet Slave - CANopen Slave - An evaluation board for Single Pair Ethernet - Software examples: Single Endpoint Communication - Hilscher SPE Media Switch available as a counterpart for testing

With its expanded Blue e+ portfolio, Rittal offers a sustainable, energy-efficient and future-proof solution for industrial cooling. In light of the stricter EU F-gas regulation, Rittal helps companies design their applications to be compliant today while ensuring long-term investment security. The new Blue e+, Blue e+ S cooling units and Blue e+ chillers use R1234yf refrigerant with a GWP ≤ 1. This means they already meet future legal requirements and significantly reduce global warming potential compared to conventional refrigerants. At the same time, integration remains simple: the units are designed for 1:1 replacement and feature the same dimensions, cut-outs and connection points as existing Blue e+ systems. Another key benefit is operational safety. The units are maintenance-free, designed in compliance with relevant standards and suitable for worldwide use thanks to low refrigerant charge volumes and an optimized safety concept. For operators, this means lower risk, greater planning reliability and no additional protective measures in standard applications. With Blue e+, Rittal provides clear guidance in a changing regulatory environment and delivers a cooling solution that goes far beyond a temporary transition.

Integrated drive technology for dynamic, human-like movements Into the future of drive technology with new dimensions and features for robotics: The new BXI is the most powerful integrated drive system in the FAULHABER portfolio thus far and was developed to meet new requirements of modern robotic applications. Human-like movements place extremely high demands on precision, force and dynamics––from delicate grip movements to powerful, coordinated joint movements. This is where the FAULHABER BXI steps in. The internal rotor motor of the 9317 BXI G series combines robustness and exceptional compactness and defines new standards for integrated drive systems in robotics. With a maximum torque of up to 20 Nm, it enables dynamic movements, fast reaction times and a highly precise movement control. The motor covers a voltage range of up to 50 V and, thanks to the available interfaces and an installation length of just 34 mm, is easy to integrate in existing system architectures. The BXI is thereby especially well suited for applications in which every millimeter, every gram and––above all––high power density are decisive, e.g., as a compact joint drive in humanoid robots. Maximum performance with minimum space requirements The drive system forms a functional unit made up of motor, integrated stepped planetary gearhead and high-resolution encoder. Its special strength lies in the systematic integration: maximum performance with minimum space requirements. The flat aluminum housing offers corrosion resistance and also supports optimized thermal dissipation. The internal rotor construction with 21 pole pairs, grooved stator and iron-core winding ensures a low cogging torque and a high torque density. The integrated absolute encoder with 15-bit SSI, line driver and compensation algorithm performs the precise positioning, is resistant to interference and makes a significant contribution to the reliability and accuracy of the entire system.

Our flexible impact protection systems from MPM Flexible Protections reliably protect people, machinery, and infrastructure from collisions caused by forklifts, AGVs, or internal traffic. Made from highly flexible technopolymer, these modular systems absorb impact energy, reduce damage, and increase safety in production and logistics environments.

Frameless motors have only two main components - stator and rotor - in common with conventional motors. This is a decisive advantage when it comes to tailor-cut design and individual integration into customer-specific systems. Due to the direct integration into machines or device assemblies and the hollow shaft concept with cable, compressed air, vacuum, fiber optic and laser feedthroughs, frameless motors require very little space. At the same time, they are highly efficient and durable and run stably and reliably in quiet operation. The KOCO MOTION motors are characterized by an immediate peak torque of up to 2400 Nm, a maximum motor speed of up to 900 rpm and a high level of user-friendliness. The frameless motors are also highly precise. They are backlash-free during high-precision and high-speed operations and have an extremely high level of positioning accuracy. KOCO MOTION supports and advises on the optimal design and integration of the modularly configurable frameless motors into customer systems. Since the compact motors are used in a wide variety of industries, such as robotics, mechanical engineering, packaging technology, semiconductor manufacturing or medical technology, it is important to precisely adapt and select all the necessary motor components. This is the only way to really get the best out of the frameless motor.
