How to Improve Communication in Hazardous Areas: Industrial Wireless Access Points in Ex-Certified Enclosure Solutions
Wireless communication promises great potential for optimizing operations in process plants. Industrial wireless access point solutions fully certified according to ATEX/IECEx standards enable reliable and safe wireless communication in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Three Functions in a Single Sensor: Overview of Radar Sensor Measuring Modes
Advanced FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous-wave) radar sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs are able to very precisely determine the distance, direction of movement, and speed of objects in the sensing range. Learn more about the three different measuring modes.
Four TCP-based Communication Protocols That Are Key to IIoT—Part 4: REST API
IIoT-capable devices are needed to implement smart networking structures. There are various IIoT protocols available. Learn in this blog article what is REST API or a RESTful interface, its interoperability, security, implementation, and usage.
Reliable Level Measurement—Why Two Different Technologies Are Crucial
Level measurement technology is the basis for reliable process control in the chemical, petrochemical, environmental, and other related industries. We explain why it is advisable to use a different principle of measurement for the probe and technology for continuous level measurement and level limit detection in critical tank level applications.
Frequently Asked Questions about Retroreflective Sensors and Reflectors
We answer the most frequently asked questions about the use of retroreflective sensors and what type of reflector is suitable for your application.
Four TCP-based Communication Protocols That Are Key to IIoT—Part 3: AMQP
Find out more about the key features of the interoperable asynchronous publish/subscribe communication protocols AMQP. We take a closer look at the interoperability, real-time behaviour, security, implementation, and typical applications of AMQP compared to MQTT.
