HMS to deliver connectivity solution for Ethernet POWERLINK

Wednesday, March 09, 2011

HMS Networks AB (publ) has signed a blanket agreement with one of Europes leading manufacturers of industrial automation equipment. The agreement concerns industrial connectivity solutions for Ethernet POWERLINK.

During 2011, the HMS Anybus technology will be adapted to the customers needs to use Ethernet POWERLINK communication.

This order confirms our position as a partner to the leading automation companies and our ability to deliver attractive solutions providing flexibility and quick time-to-market for our customers, says Erik Halvordsson, Key Account Manager at HMS.

Ethernet POWERLINK - a technology originating from the Austrian company B+R - is now receiving recognition from many large machine manufacturers. The technology provides essentially improved performance compared to the standardized Ethernet technology used in offices and commercial applications. This is necessary in order to meet the demands from advanced machine manufacturers concerning industrial networks.

I am happy to announce that HMS has received this prestigious order. Especially as our customer delivers products to very demanding machine builders who are always looking for the best combination of performance, reliability and innovation. We now see that the market for Industrial Ethernet is picking up speed, but also that this market is getting more fragmented. At present there are five major technology standards with different hardware and software. This is beneficial for the HMS Anybus concept which supports all essential communication protocols, says Staffan Dahlstrm, CEO at HMS Networks AB.
