S4B SERIES HEAVY-DUTY TYPE 4 SAFETY LIGHT CURTAIN:

A recent Banner article highlights the S4B Series Heavy-Duty Type 4 Safety Light Curtains. These curtains are designed to make installation easier with features like cascading functionality and an auto-cascade feature. They come with color-coded cordsets to minimize installation mistakes and facilitate easy replacement. The curtains are available in two resolution options (14mm and 30mm) and boast quick response times for improved safety. They also have a zone indication feature that simplifies commissioning and maintenance. A weak beam signal alerts users when cleaning is needed, promoting proactive maintenance. Additionally, these curtains have easy-to-use muting capabilities and offer a variety of mounting options, providing more flexibility during installation.

ABB co-launches interoperability initiative to unlock Industrial IoT insights

By
Julius Frago

Interoperability initiative to unlock Industrial IoT insights:

In a recent ABB article, Florian Schneeberger, the CTO of ABB’s Machine Automation division (B&R), underscored the significance of data sources in making decisions. He expressed, “The greater the number of data sources, the more informed the decisions.” Schneeberger further highlighted the difficulties of traversing diverse industrial ecosystems and the essential role of interoperability in fully realizing digitalization. He elaborated that interoperability allows organizations to quickly implement and scale Industrial IoT solutions without the need for extensive IT specialist teams.

In March 2024, ABB became a member of the Linux Foundation, a step intended to boost efforts to foster open community collaboration. This move is anticipated to stimulate innovation and facilitate the creation of superior products and experiences for customers. This decision also reaffirms ABB’s dedication to systems based on open standards.

At a live panel discussion at the Hannover Messe, representatives from the six founding members (ABB, Capgemini, Microsoft, Rockwell Automation, Schneider Electric, and Siemens) shared their vision for edge interoperability in the Industrial IoT. They also invited industry colleagues with similar interests to join the community and contribute to the creation of a substantial and effective standard. A recording of the panel discussion will be accessible at http://www.margo.org.

SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs 1511T(F)-1PN and 1515T(F)-2 PN:

A recent Siemens article reported that the SIMATIC S7-1500 Technology CPUs 1511T(F)-1 PN and 1515T(F)-2 PN are being upgraded. The firmware version V3.0 expands the CPUs’ capabilities and boosts their performance. Moreover, the program and data memory have been augmented. These enhanced CPUs are now ready for delivery and can be purchased with new article numbers (Update 2023.06.06).

The updated design incorporates the display into the CPU and substitutes the RUN/STOP switch with two push buttons. The positioning of the RJ45 sockets has also been improved for more convenient Ethernet cable insertion.

In addition, the CPUs’ performance, program and data memory, and communication performance have been amplified. The inclusion of an extra processor core notably enhances communication performance. These CPUs can now function in a variety of ambient temperatures, ranging from -30°C to +60°C.

Furthermore, the (Extended) Motion Control Resources will see an increase as part of these upgrades.

TE3850 | TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator:

A recent Beckhoff article introduces the TwinCAT 3 Machine Learning Creator. This tool auto-generates AI models from data sets, optimized for accuracy and latency, ensuring efficient operation on Beckhoff Industrial PCs. The models can be used as standardized ONNX models, extending their use beyond Beckhoff products. For TwinCAT use, a PLCopen XML with IEC 61131-3 code is generated, describing the AI pipeline for easy import into TwinCAT.

The platform’s no-code development allows non-AI experts to develop quality AI applications efficiently. It automates AI development processes, standardizes AI model creation, and uses advanced AI methods from AutoML.

The tool provides methods for displaying AI model behavior and comparing models. It also supports auditing processes for AI model creation with automated report generation.

Linux-based real-time control with TwinCAT by Beckhoff

By
Julius Frago

Linux-based real-time control with TwinCAT:

In a recent article from Beckhoff, it was highlighted that the introduction of the TwinCAT Runtime for Linux® is set to open up new application possibilities for real-time control. This development allows for the execution of several TwinCAT Runtimes on a single industrial PC, a first in the industry. This advancement enables users to consolidate different system parts on one large computer, thereby optimizing computing resources. Additionally, accessing a GPU (graphics card) from the real-time environment will now be feasible, providing a hardware acceleration option for particularly computing-intensive applications such as vision processing.

The TwinCAT Runtime for Linux® is built on Beckhoff’s proprietary Linux® distribution, which broadens the choice of operating systems beyond Windows and TwinCAT/BSD. This distribution, created using the free Debian operating system, includes a Linux® real-time kernel as standard for executing the runtime in real time. Moreover, the Debian package system simplifies the installation of additional software. Initially, the new CX82x0 and CX9240 ARM-based Embedded PCs will be available with the Linux® runtime. Subsequently, the Beckhoff Linux® distribution will be gradually introduced for all other industrial and embedded PCs.
