Factory automation & control

Designers are facing the challenge of adding more safety features, sensors, higher throughput and higher processing integration in robotic designs all while meeting power demands. We help meet these demands with technology featuring precise motor control, robust real-time communication and advanced sensing capabilities.

Many modern systems now come with communication interfaces to enhance the overall connectivity of a system design but can also result in new challenges for design engineers. We support a wide range of industrial communication standards – from serial interfaces (IO-Link, CAN, RS-485) to industrial Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbit and multi-protocol industrial Ethernet like EtherCAT, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, and others) and new technologies such as time-sensitive networks (TSN) and single-pair Ethernet (SPE). This support enables design engineers to have advanced connectivity and scalability to meet the needs of current industry trends.

Factory floors require equipment with monitoring and diagnostic capabilities to reduce the probability of dangerous faults that can result in harm of humans, environment or assets. 

We are helping achieve functional safety certification by building customer trust with expertly engineered products to meet industry standards such as IEC 61508, ISO 13849, IEC 61800 and IEC 60730.
