Latest protection added to electrical design suite
Eaton has completed a major update to the Cutler-Hammer data contained in Amtech's new 2001 range of market leading electrical software.
For the first time, this will provide users in the discrete manufacturing industries with a single, integrated solution to control all industrial automation/control applications and manage power consumption from any PC on the network, speeding product time to market and improving energy efficiency.
Eaton's PowerNet solutions enable manufacturing organisations to manage their power costs, analyse power quality and effectively track and schedule maintenance on electricity distribution devices, to increase the efficiency of energy consuming products and reduce wasteful energy practices.
Eaton will license Iconics' Genesis32 (for Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT) and Pocket Genesis (for Windows CE) for its Cutler-Hammer solutions.
Genesis32 and Pocket Genesis are OPC client applications utilising Microsoft's state-of-the-art ActiveXT, COM/DCOM, ADO/OLEDB and Microsoft DNA enabling technologies.

David Sturge, Eaton's UK Marketing Manager added: "Web-enabled technology and the OPC plug-and-play standard are becoming increasingly key components in the UK discrete manufacturing market.
This partnership with Iconics has offered us the opportunity to leverage the open, web-enabled architecture of the Genesis family to bring a new generation of integrated industrial automation and power management solutions to manufacturing organisations".
