Panduit: Single Pair Ethernet Delivers New Opportunities in Industrial Connectivity

Panduit will be introducing a new line of Single Pair Ethernet connectivity at Rockwell Automation Fair 2020. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) is a newly standardized communication technology that extends 2- and 4- pair ethernet to devices for both industrial control and building automation. It provides an evolution in device connectivity by standardizing how devices can integrate into existing software platforms without gateways.

Wieland Electric: Safe and Economical Planning of Electrical Systems

Energy bus systems show their strengths wherever systems have to be supplied with energy over long distances. Whether airports, warehouses or distribution centers – when projects are designed internationally, the planning and, above all, the acceptance of the electrical systems often pose a major challenge for project planners and designers. The effort involved can be greatly simplified if the components used have the appropriate approvals.
