Contactless, wear-free, reliable The magnetostrictive linear encoders from TR Electronic operate without contact and are therefore completely wear-free. A moving permanent magnet transmits the position to the measuring system – either guided directly by the customer's design or via a magnetic slide that is moved by the machine using ball joint shafts. The flat design in a robust profile housing allows direct mounting on the machine body and ensures easy integration into existing designs. The new Economy family – compact and cost-efficient With a typical resolution of 0.1 mm, the Economy series is ideal as a replacement for wear-prone linear potentiometers. The analog interface allows direct retrofitting without changes to the control system. SSI and IO-Link are available for digital applications – for reliable and standardized transmission of position values. Those who want to implement complex automation systems benefit from EtherCAT integration, which enables fast and deterministic communication. Versatility for every application Whether for simple position detection or sophisticated motion control, TR Electronic's magnetostrictive linear encoders offer a wide range of interfaces and mechanical variants. The systems are insensitive to contamination, operate independently of speed and direction, and deliver absolute position values at all times – without the need for a reference run. With the Economy family, TR Electronic is sending a clear message: high-quality position measurement does not have to be expensive. The new devices combine robustness, precision, and cost-effectiveness – making it particularly easy to get started with non-contact measurement technology.

High-quality eddy current probes: Beside robustness, high dynamics and high resolution the TX-Series also stands out with a wide temperature range from -60 °C up to 180 °C. Eddy current probes are particularly suitable devices for non-contact measurements on metallic targets. Typical applications are measurements on rotating shafts for the detection of imbalance, vibration, out-of-roundness, air gap, radial/axial run-out, and much more besides. The extremely high resolution up to a level of 50nm enables the smallest of amplitudes to be detected. eddylab probes are designed for temperatures up to 185 °C, and are optimised for the entire temperature range with regard to temperature drift. ■ High precision measurement ■ High resolution (submicrometer) ■ High dynamics (124 kSa/s) ■Minimal temperature coefficient ■ High noise immunity ■ Custom-made probes

As a flexible Docker container is dataFEED edgeConnector Modbus suitable for accessing Modbus TCP controllers, e.g. from Schneider Electric, Wago, Beckhoff or Phoenix Contact. In addition, many other manufacturers also support the open communication interface Modbus TCP. The product has an integrated OPC UA Server for simple and secure data connectivity to higher-level management systems, such as ERP, MES or SCADA systems. As part of an overall solution architecture the implemented OPC UA communication protocol can also be used for data exchange with other Docker containers such as Microsoft OPC Publisher or AWS IoT SiteWise. In addition, an MQTT interface is available for direct integration of control data into private or public IoT cloud applications, supporting a variety of different cloud providers. Like OPC UA, MQTT also provides modern security mechanisms such as encryption, certificate management and user authentication, thus contributing to high data security. dataFEED edgeConnector Modbus can be managed locally via a web interface or remotely via a REST API. The configuration is simple and flexible. Precisely tuned security settings for instance include role-based access rights for OPC UA Client applications.

The application is easy to configure locally via a built-in Web interface. It can also be managed remotely via its REST API. Configuration is flexible and includes fine-tuned security settings (e.g. role based access rights for OPC UA client applications). As a first strategic extension of Softing’s dataFEED product family into virtualization- and container technology, the new product leverages Softing deep experience with brownfield connectivity with MQTT and OPC UA technology, and makes it available for new and highly efficient IoT solution architectures.

edgeGate makes data integration easier than ever before. The gateway supports the connection to PLC & CNC Controllers and uses the OPC UA standard for a simple and secure data integration into higher-level management systems, such as ERP, MES, or SCADA for new and existing plants. In addition, edgeGate also offers MQTT Publisher/Subscriber functionality, enabling direct integration of machine data into private or public IoT cloud applications on the IT side. The generic MQTT implementation supports the use of many different cloud providers. Like the OPC UA standard, MQTT also supports various security mechanisms such as encrypted connections, certificates, and user authentication, thus contributing to a high level of data security. To optimize security and performance in task-oriented environments, the edgeGate device comes equipped with three key applications: general device management, license management, and a communication interface. With this functionality, edgeGate is a compact, secure, future-oriented, and proven gateway for data integration.

Unprotected interfaces on machines, like USB ports and Ethernet interfaces, may become an open gate for malware or data manipulation. In order to avoid this, 2BSecure was developed. With this system, the interfaces will be deactivated by default, limiting the acces to authorised personnel. A manual activation via key switch or RFID ensures that only authorised persons can activate the interface and thus enabling data transmission. The limitation to authorised personnel furthermore not only protects the machine control, but also sensible data within the whole network. 2BSecure was developed as a compact black box solution that is being installed between the interface and the end device. The black box is usually well protected within the machine, so there are no particular technical requirements for degree of protection and temperature. The connection is provided via a connection block with a rated voltage of 24 V, as is typical for the usual end systems. The interfaces fulfil the normal requirements for USB-A, USB-C and Ethernet. The dimensions of the black box are very compact with 50 x 60 x 17 mm. 2BSecure can be implemented without great effort in exsting machine and IT infrastructures. The control of the black box is conducted through the end device which guarantees a seamless and user-friendly implementation. 2BSecure can also be adjusted to different requirements and applications areas, be it the manufacturing industry, energy sector or critical infrastructure. High legal protection requirements With the control of open interfaces, 2BSecure contributes to comply with the strict requirements of the new EU machine directive 2027 as well as the NIS ("Network and Information Security") 2.0 directive of the EU. Those obligate companies that work in manufacturing, the energy or transportation sector to prove that their machines and networks are protected against unauthorised access.
