UK manufacturing sentiment improves in April – CBI
Sentiment within the UK manufacturing industry improved in April and output expectations were the strongest for six months, according to the CBI’s latest quarterly Industrial Trends Survey.
Manufacturer of angular, linear and rotary encoders, digital readouts and CNC systems, Heidenhain, has unveiled a new PROFIBUS gateway that enables the complete range of Heidenhain absolute encoders – linear and rotary – to be linked to a PROFIBUS network.
Superceding Heidenhain's previous gateway, the new version features an LED display for the monitoring of bus or module status, and supports DP-VO, DP-V1 and DP-V2 profiles. It can accommodate M12 (eight pin) or M23 (17 pin) inputs connectors, to suit the user's EnDat interface. Bus connection is via M12 flange sockets and the gateway is suitable for top hat rail mounting.
