Embedded Control

With the 2019 acquisition of the business of Comtrol Corporation, Pepperl+Fuchs expanded its portfolio of Industry 4.0 solutions. Enhancements include DeviceMaster gateways, which have recently been fully integrated into the Pepperl+Fuchs’ product line. With serial and industrial Ethernet translation capabilities, DeviceMaster makes it possible to integrate networks and systems otherwise isolated by separate protocols into the IoT world without investment in major equipment upgrades.

To ensure the safety of lone workers at all times, companies depend on solutions that speed up emergency response times. To complement its portfolio of intrinsically safe mobile devices, the Pepperl+Fuchs brand ecom has developed the eSENTINEL app, an easy-to-use tool for improving employee safety. A key consideration during app development was providing users with basic safeguards for everyday use.
