This new coupler can connect the CC-link network, an open fieldbus system with switchable baud rates up to 10 Mbaud, to the entire Beckhoff I/O system. The coupler also works with DeviceNet, Profibus, Ethernet TCP/IP, SERCOS, ControlNet, CANopen, Lightbus and many others. The installed CC-Link I/O node has a bus coupler, up to 64 I/O terminals and one bus end terminal. Multiple nodes up to 255 I/O bus terminals can be connected with Beckhoff's K-bus extension technology. Beckhoff KS2000 I/O configuration software allows analog and multi-functional bus terminals to be adapted to specific applications, and lets users set parameters on a PC. Users can also configure the custom register settings to the I/O during the start-up phase using function blocks, programmable logic controllers, or industrial PCs.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
