Hirschmann liefert mit „Connected Security“-Modul zentralen Baustein für SmartFactoryKL
Neckartenzlingen - 11. März 2014 - Belden Inc., ein weltweit führender Anbieter von Signalübertragungslösungen für unternehmenskritische Anwendungen, hat auf der Basis des umfassenden Know-how seiner Marken Hirschmann und Lumberg Automation ein „Connected Security“-Modul entwickelt, das aus einer Multiport-Firewall, aktiven E/A-Modulen, Kabeln und Steckverbindern sowie einer Netzwerkmanagement-Software besteht. Dieses Modul ist Teil der einzigartigen Produktionslinie, die rund ein Dutzend namhafte Partner aus dem Automatisierungsbereich unter dem Dach der herstellerübergreifenden Technologie-Initiative SmartFactoryKL realisiert haben. Gemäß dem Industrie 4.0-Ansatz sorgen dezentral gesteuerte Fertigungsprozesse für größtmögliche Flexibilität und Effizienz. So lässt sich das Layout der Produktionslinie beispielsweise im laufenden Betrieb innerhalb von Minuten verändern oder durch neue Module erweitern, was unter anderem die Herstellung von kundenspezifischen Produkten in Losgröße 1 oder Massenfertigung ermöglicht. Das stellt jedoch ganz neue Anforderungen an die Leistungsfähigkeit der Datenkommunikation. Denn es müssen sowohl große Datenmengen in Echtzeit übertragen als auch zahlreiche Teilnehmer angebunden und zuverlässig vor Netzattacken geschützt werden. Damit bildet das „Connected Security“-Modul von Belden den zentralen Baustein der Produktionslinie, die auf der Hannover Messe (SmartFactoryKL Halle 8, Stand D20 und Belden Halle 9, D11) erstmals gezeigt wird.

SOLAR ELECTRICITY IN BELGIUM ALREADY PROFITABLE WITHOUT GREEN CERTIFICATES AND GRID TAX
Munich, Germany – March 11, 2014: The recently revoked grid tax by Belgium’s High Court is again a topic of discussion, though for all solar installations in Wallonia. The grid tax, introduced in December 2012, charges system owners an amount a year for each kilowatt of installed capacity. This will considerably reduce the profitability of solar installations for end consumers and creates uncertainty in the solar market. REC believes that net-metering – without both green certificates and grid charges – is an excellent model which helps residential end consumers to save electricity costs and to foster private investments in renewable energy.
