24 SPS 2025 PREVIEW https://sps.mesago.com/nuernberg/en.html Issue 4 2025 Power Electronics Europe Power Electronics Europe protocol connectivity to integrate seamlessly across plant and enterprise networks. Key features of EPM Data include ease of compliance with global regulations such as AMS2750, CQI9, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EudraLex Annex 11, and ISPE GAMP 5 Second Edition, Category 3. Data accuracy and integrity are maintained through patented precision input technology and a tamper-resistant file format that supports full audit trails to meet the requirements of standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and SAE AMS2750. Real-time analytics and batch validation functionality are designed to simplify compliance and improve process performance. Visitors will be able to experience interactive demonstrations of the platform’s data visualisation and diagnostic capabilities. “EPM Data represents a major step in connecting process data and operational control,” said Sébastien Girard, Industrials Commercial Director Europe at Watlow. “By combining edge intelligence, real-time analytics, and a secure digital framework, manufacturers can improve productivity, reduce downtime, and enhance product quality across their operations.” Complementing the EPM platform, Watlow will also introduce its new PowerNode controller, an integrated multi-loop temperature and smart power controller designed to simplify system design, reduce wiring complexity, and minimise panel footprint. Featuring four independent temperature control loops and power control outputs, the PowerNode controller merges temperature and power control in one compact device. Daisy-chained Ethernet communication supports supervisory control and inter-module data sharing, reducing build time and wiring errors. The Ethernet also provides PoE (Power over Ethernet), further reducing wiring requirements. “Together, the EPM platform and PowerNode controller form a unified approach to process and power management,” added Girard. “They exemplify Watlow’s commitment to simplifying automation while enabling greater connectivity and control for customers in complex manufacturing environments.” Watlow will also feature its integrated thermal loop, illustrating how data, control, and heating technologies work together to create a responsive and efficient system. The display will show how coordination between the controller and heating elements delivers greater accuracy, consistency, and energy efficiency in demanding industrial environments. It will include several of Watlow’s high-performance heaters Watlow invites attendees to discover how its integrated control, power and heating solutions are enabling a new era of connected, efficient manufacturing at SPS 2025, Hall 7, Booth 370.

Under the motto “Manufacturing connected. Securely. Since 1987.” Moxa will be showcasing its comprehensive portfolio of switches, next-gen firewalls, intrusion prevention systems and serialto-Ethernet gateways that comply with IEC 62443-4-2. This allows industrial cybersecurity requirements such as NIS-2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) to be implemented in a practical way. With support for numerous protocols (e.g. PROFINET, MRP, EtherCAT, OPC UA FX), the Moxa portfolio stands for interoperability, scalability and flexibility. With an expanded SerialTo-Ethernet gateway portfolio, Moxa creates the possibility of integrating brownfield into modern OT networks in retrofitting projects. Moxa responds to the growing demand for real-time performance with gateways and junction boxes for EtherCAT. OT Cybersecurity in Focus With the NAT (Address Translation & Access Control) devices of the NAT-102/108 series, Moxa resolves IP conflicts in production. Even if several machines have the same IP, they can be integrated into the OT network securely with little effort. The series accelerates machine onboarding
