eWON PRESS RELEASE

 Talk2M expands its free service proposal

A new Talk2M free service, called “Free +”, with multiple users and connections reporting features, is available. This new service also allows an easy and seamless upgrade to the “Pro” version, with no local change in eWON configuration nor any disruption in eWON connections. A completely renewed PC client (eCatcher 3) interfaces both Free+ and Pro services. Clearly, remote machines or installations worldwide are just one click away and at broadband speed.

Brussels, March 21st – eWON, a leading European manufacturer of remote connectivity products for the automation market, has just released an enhanced version of its free instant Internet connectivity service.

Talk2M, one single powerful remote access platform

With an easy and seamless transition from the Free+ to Pro service of Talk2M, customers can now really "try before they buy" and validate the Talk2M solution for their use, without losing any time when going live on Pro.

The new Free+ service is set to replace the old Talk2M Free, which met great success among machine builders and system integrators. It complements the historical and pioneering Talk2M Free offering with several added-value features.

eCatcher 3, one single user interface for all Talk2M services

Launched at the same time, eCatcher 3, the new version of the PC client for Talk2M, serves now both the Free+ and the Pro services of Talk2M, with the same intuitive user-interface.

The new eCatcher 3 version lies in a more user-friendly and icon-based presentation. More than ever, the incentive is put on automation users' ownership and independence, so they can manage users and sites, without the need for IT experts' assistance.

eCatcher 3 brings detailed connection reports monthly, itemized by sites to make management and control clearer and easier. The dedicated “My Talk2M” Web portal (www.talk2m.com) allows each Talk2M account manager to download current and archived reports at anytime, anywhere.

“With thousands of machines connected to Talk2M, we want to provide our customers with a single, scalable and powerful remote access platform for their remote service activities.”, says Serge Bassem, CEO of eWON.

It leverages both function and form factor of the Rockwell Automation 1734 POINT distributed input/output modules, combining the RA device function into wireless architecture. This makes the adapter ideal for collecting data from and for controlling moving systems (like robots, automated carts, overhead cranes, earthmovers) as part of a RA distributed automation system.

The adapter uses EtherNet/IP protocol and configuration with the RSLogix 5000 programming environment. It can also be used in networks with RadioLinx industrial hotspots or third party 802.11g access points to provide high speed, low latency 802.11g client communication over widely spaced plant areas."

JetWave 2450 New firmware.

Some of the new features which are supported by the firmware, are the integrated basic routing protocols, such as the PPPoE, NAT, Firewall, DHCP which will ease administrators work in large mobile applications by efficiently managing different wireless network groups. The JetWave 2450 with the enhanced firmware, in addition to Base Station, CPE, P2P and P2MP operating modes, will provide 2 more modes for flexible connectivity: the WDS mode for establishing wireless connectivity with other APs by a simple key in of remote MAC address, and AP Repeater mode for simultaneous operation of the device as AP and Bridge.

Using the additional Ping Watchdog function, the JetWave 2450 users will be able to perform automatic system reboot in case of connection loss.

Other than these, the new firmware will provide optimized boot time for faster booting of JetWave 2450, optimized outdoor distance parameters for achieving performance enhancements as well as statistics improvements for user’s easy monitor and diagnosis.

Following are the changes which apply to the v1.0.3 Firmware of JetWave 2450:

  • Addition of : 
1) Basic Router, which contains:
     a) PPPoE/ DHCP client/ Static b) NAT c) DHCP Server d) Firewall
2) Wireless Distribution System (WDS) operating mode
3) AP Repeater operating mode
4) "STP Forward Delay" item
5) Ping Watchdog function
6) Reset Setting to Default “include IP Address” icon.
    After click, the IP address can be reset to default as well.

  • Optimization of system’s boot time
  • Optimization of outdoor distance parameters
  • Statistic improvement:  a) ARP table b) Bridge table
The new firmware can be dowloaded from HERE.

The JetWave 2450 is an IEEE 802.11b/g/n compliant Wireless Outdoor Access Point designed to provide increased speed, range and outstanding performance for the most demanding high-bandwidth wireless networking applications. Users can benefit from its IEEE 802.11n technology to ensure 3 times higher data rate and therefore, extend up to 5KM wireless coverage with reduced roaming between APs and stable data transmission. With 8dBi flat panel directional antenna and additional N-Type socket for optional antenna, users can flexibly deploy the JetWave 2450 for their specific long distance line-of-sight applications and/or extend transmission by overlaying multiple radio signals.

Additionally, the outstanding wireless transmission performance and security is guaranteed through the supported features such as the spanning tree protocol for avoiding loop storm, QoS (WMM) for prioritizing classes, NTP for network time synchronization as well as WEP, WPA, WPA2 and MAC filter for powerful data encryption and secure network access.

Combining all the new firmware enhancements of the upgraded Firmware to its rugged design with 20~70oC operating temperature, the JetWave 2450 series become excellent solutions for expanding reliable wireless data transmission in harsh outdoor environments.

INS News: RM Wireless CANbus


  • Wireless data transfer via WLAN
  • High data throughput
  • Two different operating modes

CANlink® WLAN enables the wireless transmission of CAN data with a high data throughput between various CAN networks or a CAN network and a WLAN/LAN network according to the 802.11b/g standard. CANlink® WLAN is highly suitable for connecting mobile (e.g., vehicles or machines) or stationary CAN networks (e.g., buildings or systems) and is often used for short ranges up to 100 m. TCP or UDP data protocols are available. Using an appropriately configured router, CAN data can be transmitted over the Internet. CANlink® WLAN offers two operating modes: the access point mode and the ad-hoc mode. In the access point mode, the data connection takes place over one or several WLAN access points that are often part of the company's internal IT infrastructure. In the ad-hoc mode, a direct connection is established between a single CANlink® WLAN device and a PC or laptop (with an integrated WLAN interface), or with a second CANlink® WLAN device. In this way, CANlink® WLAN can be used as a CAN diagnosis interface. The wireless connection that is established between two CANlink® WLAN units can be used instead of a cable, and enables the connection of CAN networks that would otherwise be difficult to link such as rotational machinery. On request, CANlink® WLAN is also available with a secondary CAN interface or a built-in I/O-interface.

INS News: Korenix - JetBox, Redundancy ring

Korenix RSR Redundancy ring is Now Supported in JetBox series Embedded PoE / Routing Platforms for Reliable & High Quality Industrial Networks!
Korenix launches its patented Rapid Super Ring (RSR) network redundancy technology in its JetBox 9400 / 9500 series industrial embedded PoE / Routing Computers for ensuring reliability, scalability and high performance of industrial network infrastructures.

The RSR, which is integrated in an optional CF card, provides less than 5millisecond recovery time and ZERO ms restoration time, allowing users to perform reliable data transmission and computing without link loss, topology change or data failure.

With the new RSR feature, IPC providers can easily setup the industrial network with automatic Ring Master selection, efficiently control the ring status with minimum bandwidth consumption as well as detect and fast react to the failures through received notifications and alarms. The RSR is backward compatible with Super ring technology and therefore can be used in a large network along with other redundant rings providing a complete reliable networking solution.

The JetBox series, which support the RSR, are:
JetBox 9430-w Embedded 4-port VPN Routing Computer
JetBox 9432-w Embedded 4-port Serial VPN Routing Computer
JetBox 9530 Embedded 4-Port PoE VPN Routing Computer
JetBox 9532 Embedded 4-Port Serial & 4-Port PoE VPN Routing Computer
