Additional IndustryPack products include 8 new analog modules and 8 new digital modules, as well as 4 new communication modules and 2 memory modules. New IP offerings address fieldbus solutions like CAN, Interbus, Sercos, LON, and ARCNET. Xycom now has 6 motion control solutions in the IndustryPack form factor.
