most changes become necessary after the
granting of a license. This means that plant
manufacturers need to be able to react to their
customers changing demands quickly. A user
that originally booked 10 Gigabyte data vol-
ume in a capacity-based model might need
20 Gigabyte in the future. In order to process
these customer bookings smoothly, compa-
nies need a tool that optimizes and automates
(internal) processes. A good LLM-Solution
offers the possibility of updating software
remotely or easily adding and removing
capacities and functions without the customer
noticing a thing.
The IoT makes the development and protec-
tion of embedded software a challenge for
engineering companies. Intelligent produc-
tion also enables new business models, with
which companies can increase their profits.
This makes the IoT a great opportunity for
plant manufacturers.

Mouser stocking Infineon’s XMC4700
Relax series evaluation kits
Mouser Electronics is now stocking XMC4700
Relax, Relax Kit for 5V Shields, and Relax
Lite evaluation kits from Infineon Technolo-
gies. These kits are designed to evaluate the
capabilities of the XMC4700 microcontroller
and Infineon’s free-of-charge, Eclipse-based
integrated development environment, DAVE.
With the XMC4700 Relax, Relax Kit for 5V
Shields, and Relax Lite kits, engineers can pro-
totype designs for a variety of industrial and
consumer applications, including automation,
construction and agricultural vehicles, motor
control, solar energy systems, and power sup-
plies.
Infineon enables new high-performance
FPGA development platform
Infineon Technologies announced that its
Digital Point-of-Load DC-DC regulators with
full PMBus capabilities are featured in the
Kintex UltraScale development board. A key
driver for the design flexibility of the board
is the superior PMBus connectivity of the
IR3806x family. Configurations can be stored
in internal memory. In addition, PMBus com-
mands allow run-time control, fault status and
telemetry.
Mouser: NXP’s QN902x Bluetooth
SoCs and Dev Kit now shipping
Mouser Electronics is now stocking QN902x
ultra-low-power Bluetooth systems-on-chips
and the QN9020 Bluetooth development kit
fromNXP Semiconductors. QN902x SoCs are
highly integrated ultra-low-power, high-per-
formance Bluetooth v4.0 Low Energy solu-
tions for Bluetooth Smart applications such as
sports and fitness wearables, human interface
devices, and app-enabled smart accessories.
Vector Informatik: model-based E/E
development of commercial vehicles
PREEvision 7.5, the latest version of the
PREEvision software from Vector Informa-
tik, is now available. It provides users with
expanded AUTOSAR support and the abil-
ity to develop network communication for
commercial vehicles according to SAE J1939.
When designing CAN FD networks accord-
ing to SAE J1939, users will benefit from the
simplified model-based E/E development for
commercial vehicles such as trucks, buses,
and construction and farm machinery
Lauterbach offers Windows 10 aware
debugging on ARM architecture
Lauterbach has announced that its TRACE32
development tool now supports Windows 10
aware debugging on the ARM architecture.
Lauterbach’s TRACE32 is an integrated, uni-
versal development system that can be con-
nected to most work stations and can contain
any combination of instruments whichmay be
required for microprocessor systems develop-
ment, including debugger, tracing tool, logic
analyzer, protocol analyzer and similar tools.
Thanks to its extended MMU support,
TRACE32 allows access to the complete vir-
tual address space. This gives the developer
the ability to switch to the context of any pro-
cess and inspect its status at any time. This
means that you can debug drivers and/or mul-
tiple applications simultaneously.
Keysight: new chipsets enable oscillo-
scopes with bandwidths above 100 GHz
Keysight announced a technological break-
through for building highest-bandwidth
oscilloscopes with the successful turn-on of
chipsets that take advantage of Keysight’s
Indium Phosphide semiconductor technol-
ogy. The new chipsets will enable Keysight to
deliver real-time and equivalent-time oscillo-
scopes in 2017 that offer bandwidths greater
than 100 GHz with significantly better noise
floors than what is currently on the market.
