Beckhoff Automation has announced another addition to the popular family of ultra-compact C60xx series Industrial PCs (IPCs) with the new C6025. This space-saving IPC is designed to deliver the high computing performance of the Intel Core i series in a fanless, small-form-factor device. The new Intel Core i U processors, with exceptionally low power requirements, have made this advancement possible.
Littelfuse, Inc., a global manufacturer of leading technologies in circuit protection, power control, and sensing, announced today the expansion of its SPXI series in-line and SPXV series string solar fuses with 25 to 32 amperage models in a compact 10 mm x 85 mm case size. Used in photovoltaic (PV) installations, these 1500 V DC fuses protect PV systems from overloads and short circuits to minimize damage to solar panels. The compact case size offers design flexibility when space is at a premium.
Specifically designed to move light loads quickly and efficiently, the MagneMover LITE system is an intelligent and affordable solution. This transport system outperforms conventional belt and chain conveyors for OEM/in-machine applications and for demanding motion requirements. Independent motion control of vehicles provides a flexible flow and built in anti-collision feature helps prevent damage to payloads.
The Panduit Pre-Configured Industrial Distribution Frame (IDF) with SmartZone G5 Access Control is engineered to deploy and protect 19-inch rack mount switches on the factory floor in an industrial network. Consistent design, equipment placement, and cable management minimize engineering and installation time resulting in faster implementation.
We create digital services using the most modern and secure Internet technologies. We combine them with the technologies of industrial production facilities. Netilion Analytics provides you with an inventory of your production facility within a few minutes and gives you complete transparency. Based on the inventory, current optimization suggestions for your production plant are calculated for you.
Developing a dynamic digital twin reduces risks and costs associated with your automation investment by enabling you to design, prototype, and test your application before physically commissioning your control system. Operator training can also happen concurrently in a safe environment without disruption to existing production.
Machine designers can use the new Allen-Bradley ControlLogix CIP Safety I/O modules to reduce panel space and setup time in larger applications. The modules offer enhanced performance and diagnostics compared to other safety I/O solutions. This can help designers build smarter machines.
The Allen-Bradley next generation 1694 Electronic Circuit Protection delivers a safer, smarter solution featuring a modular design, lower voltage, enhanced wire protection and better tripping accuracy. The unit is small (only 12.5 mm) and has no moving parts which means less wear and tear on the product. Also features multi-color LED lighting and 90% load current warning.
In industrial control cabinet manufacturing, processes still feature a large number of manual steps. Phoenix Contact offers a solution in the form of the WIRE assist assistance system from the ClipX product range, which is designed to optimize processes along the entire value added chain.
The Managed Switches product family from Phoenix Contact now also includes versions in metal housing with downward port outlet direction for use in flat control cabinets. The 2400/2500 series Managed Switches offer a large number of functions, versions, and approvals for automation applications.
At SPS 2019 in Nuremberg, Germany, Phoenix Contact showcased the PSRmodular configurable safety system for applications up to PL e and SIL3. You can use the TBUS DIN rail connector to quickly and flexibly adapt the system to your application.
In July 2019, it was announced that eleven zero-day vulnerabilities were discovered that affect the real-time operating system Wind River VxWorks. It is often not easy or even impossible to update all devices that run VxWorks. This is why Phoenix Contact offers a simple and easy to retrofit solution with the mGuard security routers: the security appliances are easily integrated into the network and protect the VxWorks devices completely from attacks through all critical URGENT/11 vulnerabilities.
Omron Automation Americas, a global leader in end-to-end industrial automation solutions, launched its new V780 UHF RFID slave unit that allows for EtherNet networking with a central V780 unit. Ideal for the automotive industry and others, this easy-to-use, long-range RFID technology facilitates the process of uniquely identifying large objects like car bodies.
Festo’s new SBRD smart camera system delivers exceptional flexibility for the professional user – covering a dozen fields of analysis, tracking and verification for automation and robotics. Yet it’s so simple to set up and operate that even novices can make full use of its extensive capabilities. The result is an extremely cost-effective solution for fast, reliable inspection that can perform a wide range of tasks where using a multi-camera approach is required.
At SPS 2019, Wieland Electric will present the prototype of a new motor starter that adds a new dimension to decentralized automation in terms of size, safety functions and handling. The podisMS 5HP not only presents itself as the smallest decentralized motor starter in its power range, but also as the first decentralized motor starter with IP65 protection and integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) safety function. The drive solution, which can be parameterized without software, is also characterized by simple handling during commissioning, operation and maintenance and features a sophisticated thermal design which, together with electronic low-wear switching, contributes to a long service life – even with frequent switching cycles.
Even in the clearest water, Endress+Hauser’s Turbimax CUS52D smart turbidity sensor and CUA252 flow cell provide continuous, unattended monitoring of drinking and process water quality with laboratory accuracy or better. Its smart calibration tools and optional self-cleaning tools make this sensor a safe, convenient and highly reliable component of a water treatment package.
