i³ CONTROL – The New Automation Platform
Brand: hannover messe, yaskawa
Industry Focus: Automotive, Industrial
Product Type: control software, drives/loop controllers/pac's/plc's
With i³ CONTROL, Yaskawa is creating a completely new automation platform. The special feature of this ecosystem, which was presented as a concept for the first time in mid-2022, is that it forms a technically coordinated overall solution for industry-specific controls – from the engineering software to the controller hardware to the integrated chip technology. And, in the future, beyond. As a first anticipation of the continuously growing i³ CONTROL portfolio, the specially developed software environment – i³ Engineer – and the first machine controller of this new platform – the iC9210-PN – experienced their world premiere. Market launch was planned from the end of 2022.
Siemens Expands Its SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE Servo-Drive System for Extra-Low-Voltage Material Handling and Manufacturing Applications

Siemens is extending its drive portfolio in the extra-low-voltage range for 24–48V EC motors with its new SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE. The new product line with UL- and CE-marked components consists of the PDC (Profidrive Control) servo drive in conjunction with a flexible range of motors and connecting cables from product partners, along with the TM (technology module) format with servo and stepper drives in compact 20mm width that can be used in conjunction with distributed or open controllers.
Siemens: Sinamics G220 Added to Xcelerator Portfolio
Brand: siemens
Industry Focus: Food & Beverage, Marine/Offshore, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical
Product Type: drives/loop controllers/pac's/plc's
With Sinamics G220, Siemens is launching a new high-performance frequency converter to join the Sinamics family in the run-up to Hannover Messe 2023. The innovative frequency converters are equipped with so-called clean power technology. This reduces harmonics by up to 97 percent without the need for line harmonic chokes or DC link chokes. As a result, the Sinamics G220 frequency converters are significantly more efficient in terms of space utilization and operation and make engineering much easier. The new frequency converters are also the first Sinamics drives to be part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, the Siemens-wide business platform for digital transformation.
