Advantech has begun the release of the industrial serial device server "EKI-1526 V2." It connects RS-232/422/485 devices to Ethernet, enabling safe and stable communication in environments that require high reliability, such as semiconductor manufacturing. It complies with IEC 62443-4-2, contributing to both enhanced security and stable operations. It promotes network integration and visualization while utilizing existing legacy equipment as is. 【Key Features】 - Compliant with IEC 62443-4-2 (TLS 1.3, access control, encryption) - Redundant configuration with dual LAN + Virtual Gateway to reduce communication downtime risks - JIT diagnostic function for abnormal log acquisition and rapid troubleshooting - High compatibility with existing equipment (supports arbitrary baud rates) - Supports remote monitoring and maintenance, reducing the burden of on-site work.

In manufacturing sites, while the demand for speed and precision is increasing, there are not a few cases where "even though we just want to add a few I/O points, the discussion develops into modifications of the equipment, control panel modifications, and overall adjustments." In this webinar, we will introduce the concept and key points for gradually expanding control "only where necessary" by utilizing existing PLCs with EtherCAT slice I/O. We will also touch on how EtherCAT is chosen not only for its communication speed but also for its use in environments where timing (coordinated operation) is required, along with examples. 【Recommended for the following individuals】 〇 Production technology / equipment improvement 〇 Control system design 〇 Equipment / lines requiring high precision and high-speed control 〇 Multi-axis / multi-device line configuration 〇 Equipment maintenance 【Lottery for 10 participants!

Advantech has launched the next-generation button-integrated HMI series "SPC-800 V2." This series includes panel PC models and monitor models, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and flexibility in manufacturing environments. It features a customizable front operation panel, a rear structure that simplifies cable wiring, and supports various mounting methods such as VESA, poles, arms, and ceiling mounts. Additionally, the monitor model is equipped with HDBase-T 2.0 technology, enabling long-distance video transmission of up to 100 meters. 【Key Features】 - 15.6/21.5 inch FHD display (16:9, projected capacitive multi-touch support) - Intel Core (14th/13th/12th generation) processor (panel PC model) - IP65 rated, silicon-free housing for stable operation in harsh environments - Flexible installation methods: supports VESA, arms, ceiling mounts, and poles - Customizable operation panel: emergency stop button, illumination ring key, RFID scanner, color buttons, etc. - HDBase-T 2.0 equipped for long-distance video transmission of up to 100 meters (monitor model) - Peace of mind operation with long-term supply and global support

Announcement of the "ADAM Series" Webinar for Achieving Site Autonomy and Remote Management While Controlling Equipment Investment Promoting DX and automation in manufacturing sites has become an essential element for maintaining competitiveness. However, there are many voices expressing the desire to "keep initial investments as low as possible," "avoid complex programming," and "safely implement remote management." The ADAM series from Advantech addresses these challenges. In this webinar, we will introduce specific methods to support site efficiency, focusing on autonomous control that requires no programming and secure real-time centralized management. Additionally, by lowering the barriers to implementation with "easy setup and rapid deployment design," we can significantly reduce effort and costs. Features of the ADAM Series: - Autonomous control that requires no programming - Secure real-time centralized management - Easy setup and rapid deployment Case studies will also be shared We will provide concrete examples of how the ADAM series has been utilized in actual metal processing manufacturers, showcasing how challenges were resolved on-site.
