Wireless as a reliable and wear-free option for data communication
Let’s say you work for a company developing a new product that uses a Serial interface, and you have been tasked with finding a way to integrate Ethernet connectivity. You research all the different options for exports, components that can convert connections like Serial into other interfaces, and come across a number of options.
EtherNet/IP and PROFINET are two protocols that utilize and add value to standard ethernet technology. Speed is often mentioned as a key benefit of PROFINET, while interoperability often goes into the EtherNet/IP column. Yet when it comes to one over the other, it's not so black and white. For product design and development, you may want to hedge your bets and support both.
As a company that specializes in the CAN (Controller Area Network) fieldbus, PEAK-System has a clear view of the CAN horizon. Since the company’s launch in 1999, PEAK has been a leading provider of hardware, software, and services for mobile and industrial communications.
As the COVID-19 Pandemic is disrupting nearly all phases of daily life, hospitals and healthcare workers are on the front lines of this war. Some hospitals have begun deploying temporary facilities or containment tents to help limit the virus from spreading. The tents rely on negative air pressure to prevent the escape of the virus.
There are currently billions of interconnected devices communicating with each other over the internet. These devices are constantly gathering information about their environments, and analyzing the data to help make informed decisions or to automate actions. The Internet of Things (IoT) is made up of a wide-range of devices that can be used for various applications. The applications listed below are only a few of the many possibilities for these devices.
This September, take part in CAN FD Technology Day, presented by CAN in Automation (CiA). CAN FD Technology Day brings the latest trends and development in CAN FD to engineers and system integrators in the U.S.
Home automation has been on the rise as the cost of integrating wireless communication in devices has dropped significantly.
The nature of political campaigning is changing rapidly as the intrusion of the Internet of Things (IoT) within popular culture continues to expand at a rapid rate. In the past, the infrastructure of political campaigns was heavily based on polling, surveys, door-to-door campaigning, and cold calls. These methods were deemed very effective among politicians at the time, but in the modern era, relying on these tactics as a means to learn more about voters is a waste of time and resources. IoT technology has changed the way voters interact with the government as more information about their habits and beliefs will be tracked and analyzed with the sensors built into this technology.
CAN in Automation has scheduled two seminars in the U.S. for this spring. The first will occur on Febuary 24th in San Jose, CA and will focus on the CAN FD data link layer. Another seminar will take place in Cleveland, OH which will be intended for those interested in the CANopen application layer.
