The condition of your system and the installed surge protection is recorded on a continuous basis thanks to the real-time measurement of electromagnetic interferences and surge currents. This makes the remaining life expectancy (state of health) of the protective devices transparent. Maintenance work will be even easier to schedule.
Machines and appliances used in the food processing industry are continuously exposed to dirt and moisture. The operation of these machines must be reliable, safe, and efficient. Besides the demanding conditions under which the machines must operate, hygiene and safety play an important role. Machines must meet strict food safety certification standards. As a result, the control panel must be designed to withstand frequent and thorough cleaning, often under high pressure.
Yaskawa: Proper VFD installation requires selecting the right enclosure, ensuring voltage compatibility, addressing harmonics and mitigating common faults for optimal performance and longevity.
A major firmware update provides new functions for the ImpulseCheck assistance system for surge protection. With firmware 2.0, you can now select PROFICLOUD Global or PROFICLOUD China as the end point.
If you have been following the news and happen to work in a process or manufacturing facility, you are probably thinking about how secure your environment is, and if it is at risk for critical production halting threats.

This 3-part webinar series will consist of topics highlighting some of the major value propositions of integrated architecture from Rockwell Automation. The first will focus on the value of unifying process and power control. It will show how leveraging information across disciplines typically controlled by different islands of automation reduces risk, lowers costs, and empowers faster and better business decisions. The series will look to highlight the value of integrated architecture scalability, simplification and productivity. Attendees will also learn about the latest developments in Logix, as well as the latest developments in our visualization platforms. In totality, these webinars will highlight why consideration of an integrated architecture as your plantwide control system offers unique value, cost savings and productivity enhancements.

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.
