Polycontrols Technologies: aiming high with EPLAN
A provider of specialized flow control solutions, Canada’s Polycontrols Technologies believed its old electrical engineering software was holding it back. It needed an upgrade to improve design productivity to meet increasingly stringent customer deadlines. After adopting EPLAN Electric P8 and EPLAN Data Portal, it has been able to reduce project design time significantly and eliminate common editing errors, leading to faster turnaround times. Many tedious tasks, like device wiring and numbering, have been automated, saving time and improving accuracy. Working in EPLAN has allowed electrical engineers to revise the sequencing of work by ordering components much earlier in the design process so production can start on schedule, even for orders that come with very little lead time.

Developing with Automation Studio and EPLAN Electric P8
Traditionally, mechanical, electrical and software elements have been strictly separated and developed in a rigid sequence. Today, these disciplines are merging into a more integrated mechatronic approach. This not only paves the way for more efficient parallel development, but also simplifies coordination between mechanical, electrical and software engineers. This is why B&R integrates existing expert tools into the Automation Studio development platform via interfaces that ensure full transparency and functionality. Automation Studio provides all the functions needed to develop and configure an automation solution – such as those for creating control and HMI applications, linking motion control components, safety technology and much more. Expert tools are integrated via open, transparent interfaces to provide specialized functionality – such as EPLAN Electric P8 for electrical planning.

IM Series
The IM Series is a new type of measurement device. More than a profile projector, a measuring microscope or an automatic CNC measuring device, the dimensional measurement concept by imagery technology of the IM-6000 series is a new system with which it becomes possible to perform reliable measurements in a minimum of time and with an increased accuracy. You simply place the part to be calibrated, push the button and up to 99 dimensions are measured in a few seconds with accuracy down to 0.5 micron. No tiresome positioning, nor risks of measurement variance or deviation between the various operators. Finally, it is a cost saving alternative to traditional processes.

Electricity distribution substations: ProSoft Technology® launches a new Modbus TCP/IP to IEC 61850 Gateway
The ProLinx ‘Modbus TCP/IP’ to ‘IEC-61850’ gateway has been designed for remote control of substations in electricity distribution systems. It enables communication between the Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) on one side (on an IEC-61850 network) and the Schneider Electric Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) on the other side (on a Modbus TCP/IP network).
