Analysis of the injection molding process yields information about the effects of a wide variety of parameters and unlocks the potential for optimizing mold quality and cost effectiveness. Database- and web-based software CoMo MIS Type 2829A... stores, visualizes and analyzes process data acquired by the CoMo Injection system monitoring Type 2869B... during injection molding. A browser is used to retrieve from the database information about all of the current and completed production runs and batches. The new "Curve Viewer" module allows quick access to the curves of all of the saved cycles. The monitoring functions and their results (good/bad parts) can be displayed at the same time. |

 (Middletown Pa.) Phoenix Contact's new RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD is an industrial radio transceiver that brings Ethernet or serial data onto IP-based networks from remote locations, even in high-interference environments. The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD uses the MOTR-9T radio platform, a 1-watt, frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) transceiver. It operates in the license-free 902-928 MHz ISM band. With the MOTR-9 radio, the user can configure over-the-air data rates up to 500 kbps. Adjustable packet sizes maximize data speed and minimize latency. The radio also incorporates selectable 128/192/256-bit AES encryption to prevent unwanted intrusion and keep data secure. |

 AUSTIN, TEXAS – "Security made easy" is how Emerson Process Management refers to its newest addition to DeltaV™ security functionality. Built into the new family of DeltaV smart switches, Emerson has added auto-lockdown security capabilities that allow a DeltaV user to automatically lock and unlock the port access of all the switches in the network. This lockdown will disable all unused network connections (ports) on the switch. One of the biggest security vulnerabilities in a control system is that network devices, such as Ethernet-based network switches, are located in unsecure locations out in the process – easily accessible to everyone. Locking down switch ports will prevent accidental connection and virtually prevent the deliberate connection of an unauthorized device to the switch. |
