Industry Products

GE Fanuc has added significant Biometric capabilities to its Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX 4.0 to enhance the safe and compliant operation of pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing processes. Biometrics, the ability to use a physical property of the operator such as a fingerprint or iris scan, can greatly reduce operator fatigue and response time.

Sensor/Actuator Cable (SAC) MINI cordsets are available with male or female contacts and as straight or angled versions. Designed to the industry standard, the 3-, 4-, and 5-position connectors are produced with standard single keying. Available as overmolded cordsets, field wireable and panel feed-through connectors, the MINI provides both design and user flexibility.

The 3B23 solenoid valve is designed for use in food service and processing applications that require media-separation. The 3B23 is compatible with a variety of media types such as water and chemicals which are contained within a valve cavity made with FDA-approved materials preventing any contact with the metal components of the solenoid operator.

CANopen LabVIEW Library makes it easy for engineers to create industrial control and measurement applications with connectivity to hundreds of industrial CANopen devices, including motion drives, sensors and distributed I/O. The new library is a collection of high-level, easy-to-use NI LabVIEW functions that convert high-speed NI Series 2 Controller Area Network (CAN) devices into fully functional CANopen master interfaces.

The LPB+ offers the option of adding an integrated geared pulley drive system. The belt pulley eliminates the need for a right angle gearbox, couplings and/or additional bearings - in turn, reducing cost, increasing performance, and reducing parts and engineering time for the system.

the Aport-211W enables RS-232/422/485 serial devices to be monitored and controlled through standard Web browsers without the need to install dedicated application software. The Aport-211W provides a transparent data channel between a serial device and the TCP/IP network, making the serial device accessible using standard TCP/IP protocols. The Aport-211W can function as a TCP server, TCP client, or even a UDP node on a network.

PlantTriage Performance Supervision Software now supervises Model Predictive Controllers (MPC). PlantTriage uses economic information and controller data to calculate assessments that quickly indicate if the MPC controller is continuing to provide a high return on investment. Without performance supervision in place, MPC controller performance often degrades over time, even to the point of being disabled by operations.

Requirements Gateway software links common requirements management tools such as Telelogic DOORS, IBM Rational RequisitePro and Microsoft Word to NI software development environments, including NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, NI TestStand and MATRIXx. Requirements Gateway significantly improves the quality and efficiency of designing new products by enabling requirements traceability from documentation to implementation.

LabVIEW Embedded Module for ADI Blackfin Processors extends the LabVIEW graphical dataflow development environment to directly target high-performance, low-power Blackfin Processors for faster embedded system development. The graphical development platform provides an out-of-the-box, integrated solution for solving real-world problems, empowering domain experts without embedded programming experience to overcome the traditional challenges of embedded development and deliver sophisticated applications quickly.

Objective Interface customers will now be able to use the royalty-free ThreadX RTOS—which occupies only a tiny footprint on the embedded target—in resource-constrained applications such as digital cameras, wireless systems and audio processors. Objective Interface developers will also use ThreadX to design high-performance, highly deterministic embedded applications, such as factory floor controllers, advanced telemetry systems and medical electronics.
