Compact NX1 Series Controller with OPC UA & SQL for IIOT applications
The Schneider Electric TeSys Tera motor management system, available from Mouser, combines motor protection, control, and monitoring into a single modular device to continuously monitor key electrical parameters, including voltage, current, power, and power factor. This provides real-time data to automation systems, improving visibility and operational control. Additional features include energy monitoring, predictive diagnostics, and advanced connectivity that reduce motor downtime by up to 80 percent. The TeSys Tera Motor Management System uses a modular design for seamless integration into both new installations and retrofit projects, providing flexibility to meet the evolving needs of industries such as oil and gas, mining, transportation, water, and wastewater.
WAGO’s new IO-Link Converter is a 4-20 mA analog input with a digital display incorporating analog signals into a digital communication network for sensors and actuators from the field into an IO-Link-capable system. This device is used as a decentralized display for preprocessing and conversion of analog signals.

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.

Convergix Automation Solutions has completed the acquisition of AGR Automation (“AGR”), a UK-based provider of custom, high-performance automation design and systems integration primarily to the life sciences industry.
Following Convergix’s acquisitions of JMP Solutions in August 2021 and Classic Design in February 2022, AGR marks the third investment in Crestview’s strategy to build Convergix into a diversified automation solutions provider targeting the global $500+ billion market, with a particular focus on the $70 billion global systems integration and connectivity segments. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

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…
