Molex and TMG Collaborate to Provide Customised Industrial Communication Solutions

Molex and TMG have more than 20 years expertise respectively in the development of industrial communication protocols and, based on these experiences, Molex has already developed a range of software development kits and protocol stacks. In addition, both companies are actively involved in international standardisation working groups, such as those being led by PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation (PNO) and ODVA, and envisage that the cooperation will directly increase their abilities to provide best-in-class solutions to worldwide customers.
