If electric vehicles are to achieve greater distances, it’s not only a matter of optimizing their batteries. Instead, the entire power train has to be improved.
The SecurityBridge firewall from Pilz now also guarantees the monitoring of data communication between any other network subscribers outside of the Pilz range. As such there is even greater flexibility to incorporate it into existing industrial automation networks. Thanks to authentication and permission management, the SecurityBridge efficiently protects against potential data manipulation. As a result, the open firewall from Pilz increases plant availability.
Siemens Digital Industries Software today announced that it has acquired Fractal Technologies, a provider of production signoff-quality IP validation solutions, based in the U.S. and the Netherlands.
The latest innovations in yaw brake systems and disc resurfacing for wind turbines generators (WTGs) can turn a costly and time-consuming activity into a minimally invasive process that can be completed in a breeze. Turbine operators interested in these novel solutions to maintain yaw brakes and their discs in optimum conditions while maximising responsiveness and uptime should consult with specialist service providers to see what they can offer.
