Analog Devices’ New Industry 4.0 Solutions:
Device-Level
Security and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) Switching Capabilities
ADI
is now providing new hardware-based identity solutions that enable
security at the edge of the network within a factory control loop, and
improve a field device’s security posture to meet security standards and
requirements. These new capabilities are integrated with a real-time
Ethernet multi-protocol switch with TSN features, including time
synchronization (802.1AS) preemption (802.1Qbu/br), to control
industrial applications via OPC-UA. By combining security capabilities
with TSN features, ADI is enabling state-of-the-art field device
communication solutions at the edge of industrial networks, in an
easy-to-use model that accelerates customers’ time to market and
adoption of Industry 4.0. To learn more about this topic, read: https://www.analog.com/en/technical-articles/tsn-in-automation-where-are-we-currently.html
ADcmXL3021 Module for Condition-based Monitoring
(CbM)
The ADcmXL3021 module is a complete sensing system
based on ADI’s award-winning micromechanical (MEMs) sensor technology,
which increases productivity and reduces equipment repair by monitoring
early indicators of machine fatigue and failure across industrial
equipment and transport vehicles. This triaxial vibration sensing module
combines the MEMs sensor with several signal processing functions within
a compact form factor to simplify development and provide significant
bill of materials savings of smart sensor nodes in CbM systems. View the
