Beckhoff Automation, with operations in North and South America, have introduced the new EP9300 EtherCAT Box for connection to PROFINET networks, for connectivity among difficult industrial ethernet systems.
The EQ module series, with its stainless steel housing and IP 69K protection, enhances applications in the food/beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The modules from the ER series have a particularly robust, fully-sealed, die-cast zinc housing, making them ideal for harsh industrial and process environments, such as pressing systems and metal foundries or automotive environments and robotics applications where weld spatter resistance is a key requirement.
