370/04 Moving heavy loads without problems using Industrial Wireless LAN: Radio controlled transport cart for sheet metal working
Christof Kreienmeier / Rainer Ockenfelds (Siemens AG)
  
published in: stahlmarkt 2/05
A Düsseldorf metal fabricator has modernized an existing transport cart for stainless steel sheet with state-of-the-art industrial wireless LAN technology. The application has operated without a hitch ever since being put into service, thus making a significant contribution to reliable availability of the processing machines supplied by the cart. 
031/05 Real Time Ethernet without compromise
Dipl.-Ing. Walter Möller-Nehring
  
published in: dpa Design Products and Applications 3/05
Network protocols for motion - Walter Möller-Nehring describes the Profinet IRT protocol for multiaxis motion control, which was spectacularly demonstrated last year at SPS/IPC/Drives 2004 in Nuremberg. 
048/04 Users introduce component-based automation solutions
Dipl.-Betriebswirtin (FH) Klaudija Trkaj / Dipl.-Ing. Karsten Schneider
  
published in: The IEE - Computing & Control Engineering 12/04-01/05
Using modular machine components both system operators and machine manufacturers save money. Increased efficiency, reusability of system components and rapid reaction to alterations in processes combined with reduced commissioning expense are no mere illusion! Consistent modularization of plants and machines makes decentralized automation child's play. Component based Automation is an approach to automation aimed at consistent modularization of systems and machines. Intelligent modules are constructed, that are able to carry out localized control tasks. This modular approach, which is based on distributed intelligence, is gathering momentum. 
289/03 Solving the compatible real-time Ethernet conundrum
Dipl.-Ing. Günter Baumann (SIEMENS AG)
Page 1 
published in: The Industrial Ethernet Book 16/03
The latest talking point about Ethernet in automation relates to its real-time performance. The industrial user base would welcome a system approach which delivers real-time performance up to and including high-end motion control applications while at the same time ensuring unrestricted standard communication. PROFInet V3 promises to bring hard real-time to the IT world.
