    SPS/IPC/DRIVES - November 24 - 26 in Nuremberg
    SPS/IPC/DRIVES, exhibition for electric automation technology, will take place at Messe Nuremberg  from 24 to 26 November. It covers all components and systems including integrated automation solutions. The Advisory Board of SPS/IPC/DRIVES nominated the topics Energy Efficiency and Industrial Identification as key topics at SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2009 additionally to the still current and trend-setting topic Safety and Security.
    Over the last years more and more Embedded companies are exhibiting at SPS/IPC/DRIVES. You will find there not only the major boards vendiors, but also software and even chips companies - all of them with focus on their products and services for industrial computing, communications and control.


    At SPS/IPC/DRIVES (Nov 24 to 26 in Nuremberg), the Boards & Solutions team is running the Industrial Computing & Communications Forum - a 3-day programme with presentations about technical trends, product innovations, strategies and applications. The Industrial Computing & Communications Forum is located in Hall 8, Stand 528 close to the gateway to Hall 7. It is a theater-style presentation area with free access for all exhibition visitors.

    TRINAMIC launches/presents new coolStep™ Technology at SPS/IPC/DRIVES
    Meet the TRINAMIC Team at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES Show (HALL 1 BOOTH 555) and learn more about the power saving new coolStep™ Technology: Sensorless closed loop current control and load detection for stepping motors. TRINAMIC MOTION CONTROL. ICs, modules & mechatronic solutions for embedded motion control.
