Weidmüller at Hannover Messe 2018

This year's focus was on the networking and implementation of consistent and future-proof application solutions.

Demonstrations and displays will included:

• Together with compressor manufacturer Boge, presenting an HST 220 high-performance compressor that uses Weidmüller's Industrial Analytics software for preventative maintenance in order to to detect errors and operational anomalies.
• u-mation - a comprehensive toolbox for digitalisation and Industry 4.0, which can be adapted for a range of different applications. It includes u-control - an IoT controller, with an integrated, web-based engineering tool - u-create, the modular u-remote I/O system and u-view multitouch panels to provide web-technology-based visualisation.
• The communicative power supply PROtop – showing how retrofitting this new solution will make it possible to expand the existing power supply with a communication module, thereby easily creating an interface for transferring process data to the higher-level control system.
• The Weidmüller Configurator (WMC), a powerful software solution that speeds up the selection, configuration and ordering of products and solutions.
• Demonstrating the networking of automation and digitalisation by means of a live application consisting of an automated assembly machine with a conveyor belt, which uses control cabinet components from the Klippon Connect range, consistent connection solutions from the control cabinet through to the field, the automation modular system u-mation and the FieldPower range for function-oriented, localised and modular automation solutions.
