Micro-rotary DIP Switches target space-constrained designs
CUI Devices’ Switches Group announced the addition of micro rotary actuator types to its DIP switches product line. Housed in compact 7.2 x 7.2 x 2.9 mm packages, the RDS-7229 series features 4, 10, or 16 positions, a 5.08 mm pitch, and surface mount or through-hole mounting styles. Thanks to their compact footprints and IP67 […]
Fast gigabit Ethernet switches optimized for industrial applications
The LÜTZE unmanaged E-CO (Ethernet Compact) switches with 5, 8, or 16 ports are suitable for universal network communication in all conventional Ethernet environments and field bus systems, such as ProfiNet-IO or EtherCAT. In addition to the enhanced performance with QoS (Quality of Services), auto-negotiation, auto crossing and an error message for the redundant power […]
Single-chip, IEEE-based ethernet switches offer robust TSN feature set
With the support of Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), Ethernet is eliminating the need for separate Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) networks, providing a more ubiquitous approach to synchronization and precision timing for today’s industrial automation systems. However, to accomplish this, the use of multi-chip proprietary solutions has often been required, increasing both complexity […]
PCIe 5.0 switches double interconnect performance for machine learning and hyperscale computing applications
Applications such as data analytics, autonomous driving, and medical diagnostics are driving extraordinary demands for machine learning and hyper scale compute infrastructure. To meet these demands, Microchip Technology Inc. announced the world’s first PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 switch solutions — the Switchtec PFX PCIe 5.0 family — doubling the interconnect performance for dense compute, high-speed networking, […]
