RF Digital Announces Wi-Fi Module with Years of Battery Life
The low power consumption of the RFD21715 is based on GainSpan's GS1010 SoC. The module also offers AES encryption, TCP/IP (IPv4), UDP, DHCP, and SNMP, which provides for remote device configuration and management.
Arch Rock and Cisco Chair New Internet Engineering Task Force
The group has been chartered to bring interoperable IP routing to low-power wireless networks used to connect large numbers of sensors and other embedded assets.
Augusta Systems Releases EdgeFrontier 4.0
The middleware enables the creation and management of intelligent enterprise networks, featuring data from sensors and other edge assets. The enhancements in the software's latest version include additional data-integration options and more robust event-processing capabilities.
SMART COMPONENTS
A New Breed of Tilt Sensors
High accuracy at a low cost over a wide temperature range makes thermal MEMS accelerometers the hot choice in tilt sensing. Find out whether they're right for your application.
Designing Intelligent 4–20 mA Transducers
Modern industrial automation applications—such as PLCs, factory process control, and intelligent transmitters—all demand high-performance, low-power components. Current-mode data transmission is no exception. Intelligent 4–20 mA current-mode data transmission is the preferred technique in many industrial automation applications and is a well-established standard for communications between the host computer and smart/intelligent transmitters in harsh factory environments. This article describes intelligent transmitters and explains their need for high-resolution, low-power ADCs, DACs, and isolation devices.
The Next Generation of Color Sensors
You can change manufacturing setups without reprogramming the sensor, which is essential for highmix, low-volume manufacturing with frequent color changes.
PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE
How Are Your Bearings Holding Up? Find Out with Ultrasound
While many bearings can fail due to lack of lubrication, over-lubrication is considered one of the major causes of bearing failure.
Is Your Engine Weary?
Scientists at the University of Manchester, U.K., are developing a new type of wireless sensor to remotely monitor mechanical parts and systems and allow predictions of breakdowns in advance of failure.
Condition Monitoring Device Wins Product of the Year Honors
