[Blog] Manufacturers are forming their own ideas and interpretations of what a ‘smart factory’ is and what they want it to do for them. But a common need is for critical components to have additional intelligence, enabling machine-to-machine communication and interaction.
[Blog] IO-Link is a point-to-point communication technology that can be implemented into most PLC configurations or integrated into most existing industrial Ethernet and fieldbus networks via a device called an IO-Link master.
We are all witnesses to the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0 as it has been coined, as most of us will have seen robots, machines, vehicles or control systems connect to the Internet at...
In industrial environments, pneumatic lines can pose significant hazards to workers and associated equipment – both the lines themselves and the moving components they operate.

Smart machine design serves innovators with the reward of optimized space on the plant floor, considerable savings on components and installation, inherent safety by design and oh yes, it must meet the functional needs of the ever changing application.
Internally or Externally Monitored Safety exhaust valves are available. Let’s review the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Cyber Physical Systems in the modern industrial factory are critical to supporting production by improving the diagnostic capabilities across the machines, as well as troubleshooting problems and solving them quickly. These are key attributes designed into the PCH Portal.
Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are smart, intuitive devices which communicate and integrate more functionality than conventional technology would normally offer. Smart devices vary in standardization and function however most have some common attributes.
Plant floor architecture is an important part of machine design that can make a difference in managing costs, integrations and expansions. The PCH Portal design team lived in this environment, therefore intuitive interfaces and complete modularity was the heart of design concepts.
Digital Transformation, Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are increasingly applied in the machine world to deliver differentiation and competitive advantages. Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) offer significant cost savings across the entire value chain.

Parker offers a variety of safety valves for use in various safety functions such as safe exhaust, safe cylinder, return,and safe load holding/stop. This document focuses specifically on valves that use sensors to provide feedback to a safety control system for external monitoring.
Bulletin 0600-B96 Overall IO-Link is the most cost efficient way to connect valve manifolds and obtain diagnostic and prognostic data. Compatible with all major Ethernet protocols, IO-Link offers easy installation, troubleshooting and maintenance.
Bulletin 0600-B97 Industrial Ethernet (IE) is the use of Ethernet in an industrial environment to communicate activity on the network with protocols for automation and process control that provide real-time data with high communication transfer rates.
