Banner Engineering EZ-Light K50L indicator light for WSNs
05 August, 2011 | Micromax Pty Ltd
The Banner Engineering EZ-Light K50L is an indicator light with an independent push-button. The push-button is mapped to a dry contact output and is designed for use with wireless sensor networks, specifically Banner SureCross FlexPower battery-operated devices. Operating independently from its attached wireless device, the K50L push-button consumes minimal power for electrical circuits or control, while three sourcing inputs control the green, yellow and red indicator lights. The K50L’s power-optimised electronics, combined with Banner’s SureCross wireless network, provide a suitable solution for call lights and machine status indication - even for remote areas without wired power or data connections.

Matrikon OPC Tunneller
01 August, 2011 | Matrikon Asia-Pacific
OPC Tunneller from MatrikonOPC now supports encryption and data compression to provide an easy, reliable and secure way to communicate between networked computers. It does away with the difficulties typically associated with DCOM configuration. Different protocols, security settings or locations are no longer a factor when sharing data between computers. This is achieved by installing OPC Tunneller on the OPC client and OPC server nodes and then telling the Tunneller client where the Tunneller server exists.
