Control Level: PLCs & IPCs - HMI- On Demand Webinar Series

EBV - Market Trends & Technology updates: PLCs/IPCs

A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is the "brain" of a factory, controlling a wide range of functions by receiving data from sensors, switches, and other devices, and using programmed code to control external devices. PLCs communicate with other components of the automation system via fieldbuses and provide modular expansion options for flexibility. PLCs must be robust, reliable, and able to handle high-density input/output channels, multiprotocol handling, and low power dissipation. Real-time communication with distributed PLCs and other components is essential for smooth operation and reduced scrap rates.

TRIA - How TRIA’s Compute technologies reduce time to market and increase flexibility and scalability

One of the key advantages of customized IPCs is their ability to be configured with hardware and software that align precisely with the operational needs of the business. This includes selecting components that meet the performance requirements, such as specific processors, memory, and storage options, as well as integrating specialized interfaces for connectivity with other industrial equipment. Customized IPCs also offer superior durability and reliability, as they can be built to withstand the specific environmental conditions of the industry, whether it's extreme temperatures, dust, vibration, or moisture. This robustness reduces downtime and maintenance costs, which is critical in industrial settings where continuous operation is essential. They can also be designed with future upgrades in mind, ensuring that the investment remains viable as technology evolves. Moreover, the customization of IPCs can include specific security features, essential for protecting critical industrial processes and infrastructure from cyber threats.

Nexperia - Protecting critical Factory Automation applications against the threat from ESD

The digitization of manufacturing and Industry 4.0 has led to the continuous use of ICs for connectivity and data transfer. Popular interfaces like CANFD, USB, and Ethernet play a vital role as they provide a means for operators to monitor, control, and interact with equipment in the factory. As ICs are continuously reducing in size, their robustness also decreases, making them susceptible to threats from ESD. Therefore, having a robust ESD protection devices to protect these ICs is ever more important. This presentation will introduce Nexperia’s ESD Protection solutions for applications for factory automation.

NXP - Industrial HMI and Vision

Latest HMI and Vision systems nowadays propose more than simple display or camera control. In and industry 4,0 context they are up to provide most advanced functions both in term of factory interface and control. They need to subscribe to the latest cybersecurity standards but also be optimized in the leveraging of embedded AI in order to optimize secured operations. This of course on top of usual industrial requirements. In this sessions we will take a look to the overall evolution of those segments and NXP answer for those. From the performance requirements through the Security aspect to ensure consistent cybersecurity policies with the factory floor and finally the use of AI to optimize the floor performances, we will review the Industry 4.0 requirement evolution and how NXP scales solution to addresses those.
