Proper signal transmission is often an immense project, particularly in process plants: Several thousands of field signals need to be wired to the DCS (Distribution Control System). In doing so, the clear and simple connection of the wires, their shielding, the protection against lightning and surges, as well as the conversion of the signals must be implemented in a precise and efficient way.
In response to these requirements, Weidmüller has designed a variety of precisely tailored solutions for connecting signals in process control systems.

With the CU8880 USB-to-LAN adapter, Industrial PCs can be extended with an additional industrially-suited and independent Ethernet interface. The CU8880 is used for necessary IT communication, so that the respective on-board Ethernet interfaces are available for EtherCAT or real-time Ethernet communication. Drivers for the USB-to-LAN adapter are available for Windows XP Professional, Windows Embedded Standard and Windows CE.
The Weidmüller Gigabit switches offer excellent network performance, security and reliability. These features make them very well suited as a central component in industrial Ethernet networks.
RadioLinx Intelligent Cellular Ethernet modems for the Verizon Wireless USA network, providing wide-area wireless connectivity for industrial Ethernet devices.
A product by BlackBox: Use your Ethernet network to reliably access remote RS-232 devices or RS-422/-485 industrial equipment from a remote workstation. The 2-Port 10/100 Device Server gives you a cost-effective gateway for TCP/IP Ethernet and serial signal communications, enabling nearly any serial devices to be connected to a new or existing Ethernet network.It does this by encapsulating serial data and transporting it over Ethernet, communicating full-duplex and transmitting bidirectional data transparently between the serial port and a network.
