Rockwell Automation recently published an article detailing the features of the Compact 5000™ I/O system. This system offers a broad selection of standard and safety modules. It is equipped with dual gigabit (Gb) embedded Ethernet ports for Device Level Ring (DLR) and Linear topologies, offering adaptability and customization for applications that demand high speed and performance.


A recent Siemens article announced the availability of the EM 2 SSI electronic module, a part of the SIMATIC ET 200pro distributed I/O system. This module is engineered to ease the connection of SSI absolute encoders with RS-422 interfaces, providing two identical channels for this function. To maximize the use of this module, the CM SSI 2xM12 connection module (6ES7194-4CC00-0AA0) needs to be ordered separately.












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).
