Reliable detection for iron and
aluminium with Omron E2EW
Manufacturers in the automotive industry are striving
to meet the demand for electric vehicles and low fuel
consumption by building lighter-weight vehicles and
favouring aluminium over iron. As the prevalence of
mixed production lines containing both iron and aluminium increases, the demand for same-sensing-
distance proximity sensors with suitably long sensing ranges is also on the rise. The new E2EW

Software development kit for CC-Link
IE TSN reduces development effort

Modbus is currently actively used by a broad user base.
However in view of growing industrial communication
requirements, this older protocol which does not yet have real-
time capability is becoming unsustainable. By developing a new solution for the development of CC-
Link TSN-enabled components, SILA wants to pave the way forward for its customers. SILA has
been a full member of the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) since September 2019 because it
considers the open standards to be of growing importance in the industry. Read more here
