To help provide a flavor of the insights and experience that Tripwire makes available, we’re conducting one-on-one interviews with several Tripwire in-house experts. You may have seen some of their bylines in Belden’s industrial blog over the past couple of years, but in this new series we want to provide a more direct glimpse into each expert’s individual industry purview. Each of them will discuss their own personal views on the current state of cyber security in the industrial environment. You’ll learn more about how they have been working with Belden industrial customers to help bolster their network security and optimize their uptime in today’s challenging environment. 

Yesterday (6/11/2018), the SA&AM Cluster - "Industry 4.0" Thematic Group workshop took place in the subject "Safety in intelligent machine-machine systems".

Radar allows boats to navigate in extreme fog, night vision goggles give army rangers the ability to combat at night, and Claroty and Tripwire are teaming up to give industrial control operators who manage mission critical industrial automation the situational awareness and visibility into conditions that could detrimentally impact the safety and productivity of industrial control processes.

Detecting transparent objects extremely reliably regardless of shape or material thickness? No problem for the new OR270478 optical sensor system (retro-reflective sensor) and the ultrasonically welded reflector AO000548 from ipf electronic. The main reason: the system, which consists of an optical sensor and a reflector, works with extremely short-wave polarized UV light. In comparison: the visible red light or infrared light of conventional optical sensors has a wavelength of around 700nm or 880nm, while the wavelength of the OR270478 is only 275nm.

Our new laser triangulation sensors of the PT64 series will replace the tried and tested PT65 and PT66 device series. The devices, which are nearly identical mechanically, house three sensors in one: an analog sensor, a switching sensor, and a contrast sensor. With the free software included in the scope of delivery, the performance spectrum of the PT64 is again significantly enhanced and therefore offers many new opportunities to flexibly use these laser triangulation sensors from ipf electronic in a wide range of applications.
