Moxa: Go Small with Big Gains
Moxa has recently unveiled the EDS-2000-EL, with extra small switches to free up valuable space inside your machines and cabinets, allowing you to accomodate more devices for growing network demands. The EDS-2000-EL switches allow you to enhance data flow efficiency simply by flipping the DIP switches to enable QoS and BSP, which reduces the chances of data loss and increased operating costs for your applications.
Use SMD Fuses to Ease Layout, Reduce Product Size and Enhance Ruggedness
The thermally activated fuse is the oldest circuit protection device and is still in widespread use. It is well understood, reliable, consistent, and approved by regulatory standards. However, with end products increasing in complexity and shrinking in size, designers need an alternative to the user-replaceable fuse and fuse holder in order to reduce the form factor, simplify assembly, improve ruggedness, and further enhance safety.
ASK RITTAL: Unique Hygienic Design Guarantee
The challenges in today’s food and beverage processing industry include global supply chain instability, rising shipping costs and labor shortages. But perhaps the most critical challenge is maintaining safety and sanitation standards with good hygienic designs. This is where identifying industrial enclosures engineered specifically for food production environments is key in helping to maintain a safe and sanitary facility where uptime is maximized and the potential for contamination is reduced.
ABB to Invest More Than CA$130 Million in Canadian R&D and Manufacturing
ABB has announced that it will invest more than CA$130 million to expand the R&D and production capacity of its advanced power protection and grid resilience technologies in Canada. The investment in Montreal, Quebec will combine ABB’s existing Iberville and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu facilities at a new greenfield location. This will enable ABB to meet increasing demand in key growth industries, including utilities, renewables, transportation, and residential and infrastructure projects across Canada. The new 340,000 sq. ft. manufacturing and R&D facility will be more than 33 percent larger than the two locations it replaces and will incorporate advanced production automation and digital technologies. Combining the existing ABB operations at Iberville and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu will bring more than 600 existing employees from manufacturing, R&D, engineering, testing and support functions into one location. As new product lines are added and production increases in the future, further jobs will be created.
Energy Distribution Without A Control Cabinet
Installation without a control cabinet makes sense anywhere where equipment or drives have to be supplied with energy, or signals have to be transmitted and processed, over long distances. It is particularly suited to large machines and systems and can be used anywhere where cabling from the central control cabinet to the field can sensibly be replaced with power bus solutions and fieldbus communication.
