Industrial electronics

Article Abstract:

Power electronics, intelligent control, robots, and connectivity are becoming more and more important in industrial electronics and factory automation. In control and connectivity, open systems are the goal and open networking is also sought. Java, which is in real-time testing for industrial-control use, is making that possible, and software and hardware advances in technology based on it go forward. The market for power electronics is very strong, especially for motor drives or medium voltage and medium power, and the integrated gate-commutated thyristor (IGCT) is an important factor. Off-the-shelf Windows CE software was made to make fast development of software possible so that embedded applications could get to market quickly and original equipment manufacturers can get hardware as off-the-shelf products. Microvias are increasingly important as packaging approaches like ball grid arrays make component leads shrink. Companies discussed include Hirschmann Network Systems, ABB Industrial Systems, Fuji Electric, Hitachi, Motorola, Siemens, Teknor Industrial Computers (Quebec), Real-Time Devices, SF Microsystems, American Advantech, Ampro, Lantronix, Octagon Systems, Embedded Computer, EuroTech (Italy), Netsilicon, Schneider Automation, Abaco, and SAP.
