I/O functionality for industrial Ethernet switches
Belden has extended its Hirschmann™ product range with a digital I/O media module for the MICE family Fast and Gigabit switches. Available with version 7.0 of the "Layer 2 Professional” software this module with four digital inputs and outputs enables MICE Switches to send signals and status messages via the network to be analyzed. An auxiliary output provides 24 VDC voltage with 3W power to control the connected components directly without an additional power source. Further features include IP20 protection class, high shock and vibration resistance and extensive immunity to electrostatic discharges and magnetic fields. The standard version is configured for a temperature range of 0° to +60° C. Two versions with an extended range of -40° to +70° C are also offered, which differ in that one of their PCBs have a conformal coating to protect them against condensation. The I/O Media Module can therefore also be used under extreme climactic ambient conditions.
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – June 9, 2011 – The Innovative Plastics strategic business unit of SABIC announced at Chinaplas, the first new custom-colorable LNP* Thermocomp* thermoplastic compound for laser direct structuring (LDS) to save space and reduce the weight of mobile devices. LDS is a sophisticated process for integrating electronic and mechanical functionality into a single module, such as mobile phone and notebook antennas. Previously, only black plastic materials were available, typically forcing designers to confine LDS components to the device’s interior. The introduction of the company’s new colorable LNP Thermocomp compound vastly expands device design options. This new material introduction demonstrates Innovative Plastics’ pioneering leadership in advanced technologies for the design and manufacture of tomorrow’s portable devices. 
The new “Hirschmann™ Industrial Wireless Professional” certificate (HiWP) from Belden is a new seal of quality that signals a high level of expertise in the field of industrial WLAN coupled with well-founded knowledge of the Hirschmann™ wireless product range. Certified WLAN specialists, system integrators and IT service providers can be involved in the company’s projects anywhere in the world after following the training courses. These will be held at the Hirschmann™ offices in Neckartenzlingen near Stuttgart or – on request – at the premises of the future specialists. You can find detailed information about the new certification program at “
Belden has now launched the Hirschmann™ OZD Profi G12 ATEX , Profibus FO repeaters certified for use in hazardous locations, zones 1, 2, 21 and 22. The optical ports are intrinsically safe and have got op-is approval. With a transfer rate of up to 12 Mbps, the repeater is available with a stainless steel or plastic housing. The optical function module, which has its own Ex approval, is also available without a housing. This enables it to be installed in the same housing as other components, so saving valuable space. The optical performance of the FO repeater can be continuously monitored using signal strength outputs which can be integrated in the process control system. As the Hirschmann™ OZD Profi G12 ATEX 1 repeaters also support ring redundancy, it is now possible to implement highly available Profibus networks using ring or line topologies in potentially explosive environments such as those found in the oil and gas sectors and in some areas of the food industry. 
GUANGZHOU, China – May 18, 2011 – The Innovative Plastics strategic business unit of SABIC today announced here at Chinaplas 2011, booth 10.2E21, that it is adding new production lines of the company’s world-renowned Lexan* polycarbonate (PC) resins and films in Shanghai and Nansha, China. These additions are part of the company’s strategy to support the dynamic growth of key plastics sectors in this region, particularly the consumer electronics, electrical, solar, security and automotive industries. Building on over 80 years of advanced technology breakthroughs, Innovative Plastics continues to be a leader in the plastics industry with its flagship PC material. It is continually developing distinctive new Lexan material solutions to meet evolving technological, environmental, performance and regulatory challenges.
