With SITOP PSU8400, you benefit from a highly reliable power supply with IO-Link that puts its value on display – right at the device display and remotely via IO-Link. SITOP PSU8400 has more to offer than conventional power supply units, including more convenience when parameterizing, monitoring, and diagnosing, high power reserves, a small footprint, and an efficiency level of up to 96%. The SITOP PSU8400 communication-capable power supply can be conveniently parameterized and monitored remotely via the integrated IO-Link interface. However, parameterization and diagnostics can also be performed on-site right at the device on the display. SITOP PSU8400 can also be easily expanded using the SITOP buffer, redundancy, and selectivity modules – for maximum reliability and availability.

Recently, Brady has launched the new BradyJet J4000 Color Label Printer. Complex, highly specific labels in high volumes could mean lower quality print resolution and ineffective identification with other printers. But not with the BradyJet J4000.
In the rapidly evolving world of industrial automation, version control remains a critical aspect of maintaining reliable and efficient operations. The wrong version control system can lead to increased troubleshooting time, security vulnerabilities, and unnecessary costs. For instance, an expensive cloud-based solution might be overkill for a machine that rarely changes, while a redundant PLC setup might not suffice for complex, frequently updated systems. Selecting the right version control system for specific factory needs is crucial. The wrong system can lead to a host of issues, including increased downtime and security risks. Understanding the unique requirements of each application, such as the frequency of updates, network connectivity and cybersecurity needs, is essential. For example, a simple backup on an hard drive might be sufficient for a stable, long-running machine, while a more sophisticated cloud-based solution is necessary for systems with frequent changes.

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.
Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.

Nearly 50 years after its introduction, WAGO’s universal spring-pressure technology continues to influence electrical connection reliability, installation efficiency, and equipment design. A single loose electrical connection can stop a production machine, disable a control system, or send a technician searching through hundreds of terminations for the source of a fault. In equipment containing hundreds or… Read More…

When engineers think about machine performance, the conversation often starts with the controller, drives, motors, and field devices. But there is another part of the architecture worth looking at: how signals travel between those devices and the control system. That decision can influence more than wiring. It can affect installation effort, machine layout, future modifications,… Read More…
