Brussels, November 24, 2011 -- The FDT Group announces that it has publically released the

automation marketplace. Sercos has long been associated with solving complex, high speed, real time control applications typical of the factory automation marketplace
-- we are pleased to add this robust capability to the FDT
standard." remarks Glenn Schulz, Managing Director of the FDT Group.
The Sercos III annex for FDT covers online services based on the
Sercos service channel
