Join C&E's Seminar - "EtherNet/IP Connectivity With Siemens" - At Our Upcoming Industrial Automation Show!

C&E's Industrial Automation Shows are manufacturer-driven events to enhance our customers' ability to compete by providing world-class automation products and solutions.

These shows share ideas and technology through workshops, new solutions, product specialists, technical support, and supplier representatives.

Join one of the several seminars C&E will be hosting at the shows. Featured this week is the "EtherNet/IP Connectivity With Siemens" seminar, hosted by Howard Wong, C&E Automation Specialist.

In this seminar, Howard will demonstrate the connectivity of a Siemens SINAMICS G120 drive by controlling this drive using a Rockwell CompactLogix controller. The drive and PLC will be remotely operated with a Siemens HMI via EtherNet/IP.

• Learn how easily Siemens Comfort panel HMI's communicate with Rockwell PLC's
• Learn to use Siemens SCALANCE switch technology for EtherNet/IP protocol including line, ring, star and wireless topologies
• Learn how to use Siemens SIMATIC ET200s and I/O with EtherNet/IP
• Learn how Siemens AC and DC drives can be used with Rockwell PLC's
• Learn how Siemens cabling technology can save time assembling your EtherNet/IP network

Come out for this free event, meet our suppliers, bring your questions, and enjoy learning about new products. We will have a show in Murfreesboro, TN on Tuesday, May 16th, and in Louisville, KY on Thursday, May 18th. CLICK HERE to visit our expo page with more information and registration details.

New EtherNet/IP Encoders For High-Speed Applications From Turck

Turck has announced the availability of EtherNet/IP enabled encoders. These encoders provide an optical based solution with electronic multi-turn capabilities for position applications requiring feedback for customers using the EtherNet/IP and common industrial protocol interface.

The new EtherNet/IP encoders are available in both singleturn and multiturn variants, come with a diameter of 58 mm, offer a total resolution of up to 32 bits (16 for singleturn, 16 for multiturn), and have been designed specifically for high-speed applications. Allowing users to save time and cost, the encoders offer a requested packet interval time of 1 ms and allow operation in high-speed applications with up to a 1,000 Hz update frequency.

The RS-107/108 and RM-105/106 EtherNet/IP encoders offer Device Level Ring, allowing the network to stay active even if one direction of the communication bus lines is compromised. This is a bi-directional communication capability built into the encoder, meaning processes can continue while one unit is off-line. Additionally, due to their optical design, the encoders are highly immune to interference from magnetic fields.
