The Cape Town branch held its latest Technology Evening on Thursday the 30 August at the Eskom Marketing Centre in Edgemead. Robert Wright of RJ Connect (previously RJ Programmable Techniques) gave an interesting presentation on ‘Edge to Core Industrial Ethernet’.
Wright covered the entire spectrum of industrial Ethernet in a time of 90 minutes, a remarkable feat as the topic is vast. This was a very interesting subject and relevant to the challenges of industry today, where Ethernet is becoming an important component of modern control system architectures. The Cape Town branch would like to thank RJ Connect for its continued support and the informative presentation.
Tip from Wright: “If you want to learn more about the subject come to the training.”
