FEV and Lightspeed to demonstrate automotive fiber optics at 2018 CES
FEV North America and Lightspeed Technologies have joined forces to create an automotive O/E (optical and electronic) system architecture technology that transmits photons over plastic optical fiber in lieu of E/E (electricity and electronics) technologies that typically conduct electrons over copper. According to FEV officials, this will significantly reduce weight, the number of vehicle parts, […]
AS-Interface module saves space
The strengths of AS-Interface technology are well known throughout factory automation. In addition to the low installation costs and flexible expandability, users appreciate the simple assembly and easy configuration of these systems. One of the few remaining challenges is the setup of larger groups of I/O inside switch cabinets and junction boxes, according to officials […]
