In their last blog post, MENNEKES discussed non-metallic, curved-top CDS disconnect switches with an optional three-position selector switch, saving valuable installation space, reducing parts and improving safety for maintenance personnel.
Rittal, ABB and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) partner to provide turnkey resilient micro-modular datacenters purpose-built for rough environments, which help customers turn data into action in real time.
OMRON’s M1 Series Inverter is a full-feature variable frequency drive designed to control AC motor speed, torque, and positioning across a wide range of industrial applications. With options for RS-485, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP communication, the M1 provides flexible network integration while supporting modern automation environments. For Sysmac applications, the M1 offers a strong advantage by combining motor control, safety, and network communication into one integrated solution, helping reduce design complexity while improving machine performance and control.
The Caparoc circuit breaker system from Phoenix Contact now also offers modules for overcurrent protection for load currents up to 20 A. This extends the possible applications of the customizable system. Caparoc is an individual modular system. Thanks to the many combination and communication options and with the current value extended up to 20 A, the system adapts perfectly to the conditions of the respective application. The system is being extended constantly and the numerous modules are always compatible with one another.
Beckhoff Automation has recently introduced the new EL51xx EtherCAT Terminals with built-in incremental signal analysis functionality. Incremental encoders have become indispensable in many applications due to their compactness and low price points. Beckhoff meets this important need with the comprehensive EL51xx series for analysis of 5 V incremental encoders via RS422 and TTL signals.
The CP10.241-ETC from PULS is a high-quality power supply based on the popular CP10 series. With the integrated EtherCAT interface the unit is giving access to real-time and recorded data informing about the condition of the power supply itself and the power line. Amongst many electrical operation parameters, DC OK and Alarm signals are available via the interface as well as a remote ON/OFF function and “Single / Parallel Use” feature for load sharing between power supplies connected in parallel. Like its series members, the CP10.241-ETC comes with advanced features like e.g. PowerBoost: Power reserves of 20 %, which may even be used continuously at temperatures up to +45 °C. Additionally, it can deliver 3 times the nominal output current for 12 ms, which helps to trip fuses on faulty output branches.

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.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Most electromagnetic brakes work on a simple logic: apply current, apply braking. Remove current, release braking. For many industrial applications, conveyors, packaging lines, printing machines, this is exactly the right behavior. The brake engages on demand and releases when not needed. But for a significant class of machines, this logic is exactly backwards. Robots, vertical… Read More…

When selecting industrial electrical components, certification is more than a logo on a datasheet. A certification mark indicates that a product or component has been independently evaluated against specified requirements for its intended market. In North America, selecting products with the appropriate certification can affect regulatory acceptance, equipment certification, inspections and project completion. The key… Read More…
