In high performance, multi-axis, synchronized motion applications, control timing requirements are precise, deterministic, and time critical, with a requirement to minimize end-to-end latency, especially as control cycle times get shorter and control algorithm complexity increases.

Advantage by means of service means producing innovative, high-quality or low-cost products is no longer enough. Companies need to think about how products solve problems, or function as a service.

In this special report, industry experts provide their perspective on trends and innovations in Industrial Cybersecurity. Security on the factory floor is the utmost priority, with IT pushing down new technology solutions to meet networking demands, new levels of IT/OT convergence and expanding IIoT requirements.

High-profile cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure has underlined the need for industrial organizations to prioritize cybersecurity. This article discusses the challenges industrial operators face and solutions that enhance cybersecurity with minimal effort.

The CIP Security Authorization Profile enhances CIP to provide additional security properties such as general, flexible authorization where access policy can be based on any attribute of the user and/or system. Concepts and open systems that might serve as a basis for the CIP Authorization Profile are explored.

A 10 Mb Ethernet physical layer (10BASE-T1L) combined with power delivery (Engineered Power/PoDL/SPoE) on two wires, up to 1 km, will enable new types of Ethernet-connected devices that generate higher value insights that are now more accessible via a converted IT/OT Ethernet network.
