Janz Automationssysteme AG from Paderborn and port GmbH from Halle/Saale have arranged to cooperate in the Industrial Communication arena. Both companies will now be recommending the preferred use of each others’ products.
In the future, Janz will use the established port Software-Tools for CAN/CANopen (e.g. CAN-Rport, CANopen Configuration Manger and CANopen Device Monitor). In turn, port will build products based on the established, world-used Janz CAN Interfaces (e.g. CAN-PCIL, CAN-USB, CAN-104L).
Through this cooperation, we will use both companies’ offerings to produce additional features for existing product ranges. This will result in addition synergies to benefit customers, both in the improved management of existing customer needs, as well as an expanded vision for generating new markets and attracting new customers.
port‘s main focus is the development of progressive, high-quality products and engineering services in the area of industrial communication, especially targeting CAN, CANopen, DeviceNet and Realtime Ethernet (PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, Ethernet POWERLINK and EtherCAT).
port has been a leading member in CiA (CAN in Automation) for many years, and is a competent partner for all questions concerning CANopen and its latest developments, in particular with regard to the drive profile definitions.
Since late 2001, CiA has established a working group defining a CANopen Gateway protocol, led by a port engineer within the CiA working groups, using experience gained from many different research and industrial projects.
Janz Automationssysteme AG, based in Paderborn, has since 1982 belonged to a group of the most successful industrial automation systems builders in the world.
Janz has also been a member of the CiA management board and CiA’s working groups for many years.
Janz Automationssysteme AG is a product development company and manufacturer of boards, systems and software for various industrial automation solutions.
Janz’ products range from industry-standard to embedded PC solutions to complete control systems. Janz has placed a strong emphasis on providing customized solutions from a single source based on available standard products.
„Business begins at Janz with individual support and joint project planning through to the final delivery of the custom solution“, says Janz‘ Michael Rennerich. „The best, robust solution for a customer, as well as the best investment strategy, comes from thoroughly thought-out concepts with products that are readily available. Therefore, products from port are an important addition to our whole portfolio“, adds Rennerich.
That’s why world-class companies in machine-building, automotive and medical technology depend upon Janz products. Outside Germany, the biggest international market areas for Janz AS are Italy, France, Scandinavia, China and the US.
