August 17, 2020

Are you looking for ways to reduce the time it takes to engineer, wire and assemble your control panel? One way to do this is by adding communication to the control panel, which provides added benefits for both panel builders and end-users. For the end user, communication allows for system level diagnostics that can help avoid costly downtime. For panel builders, adding communication in the control panel can mean a significant reduction in engineering, wiring and assembly time. In this webinar, we will explore technologies such as IO-Link and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET) enabled pilot devices that add communication in the control panel while reducing overall engineering, wiring and assembly time.
