Phoenix Contact is expanding the limits of safety and availability! QUINT POWER now provides IEC 61508 SIL-certified power supply solutions to fulfill critical safety requirements. The strict safety requirements of these solutions are associated with a low probability that a system will fail to preform properly.
Balluff’s newest ceramic caps extend sensor life and minimize downtime by providing a layer of needed protection to the face of sensors in harsh conditions. The caps, which can be added easily before or after installation, protect flush mount sensors from high temperatures, weld spatter, abrasives, and impact.
The PLC interface program from Phoenix Contact for relay modules now also includes modules with lockable manual operation in a 14 mm overall width. They are particularly suitable for efficient and time-saving maintenance as well as easy commissioning.
A new family of safety light curtains with IO-Link connectivity is now available for increased safety with easy installation. These devices can be easily and inexpensively connected directly to the Balluff Safety Over IO-Link module, allowing integrators to implement a complete safety and automation sensing and network solution.
HARTING is raising the speed limit in industrial connectivity with the launch of the Han-Modular® Gigabit Cat7A data transmission module for the world’s most comprehensive modular connector system. Incorporating the Gigabit Cat7A module into a Han-Modular® connector as part of a Cat7 network unlocks the potential of ultra high speed Ethernet…
Turck has expanded its ultrasonic sensor series with the RU50-Eco for price-conscious OEM projects. Because of the latest sonic transducer technology, a new ultrasonic sensor was developed, which does not make quality compromises despite its price.
The new LINETRAXX PEM353 addresses applications in low-voltage main distribution boards (LVMD), data centres and building installations. As a modern display instrument for electrical quantities, it is equally suitable for monitoring power quality and energy data.
Rockwell Automation introduces the Allen-Bradley ControlTower 856T 70 mm Tower Light system. This new system incorporates brighter LED illumination and a broad offering of visual and sound technologies all in a 70 mm diameter housing. The ControlTower 856T is capable of accommodating up to seven modules in the same stack, offering users the ability to monitor more machine and process conditions in a single device.
Manual control units are used when work is being carried out in a plant or machine’s danger zone. Use manually operated control devices, for example, to control machine functions by hand while the safety gate is opened.
Machine builders can now get standalone machines to market faster using a newly updated design and configuration software. The latest release of the Connected Components Workbench software from Rockwell Automation will be more familiar to Logix users and includes new features to help reduce programming time.
Depending on the requirement, various expansion modules can be docked onto the base unit of PNOZmulti 2: For example I/O modules, motion monitoring modules and link modules. Large plant and machinery can be implemented by using link modules to connect decentralised modules PDP67.
Utilizing the power of IO-Link, Balluff has created a visual indicator line capable of directing, instructing and guiding operators in nearly any manufacturing task. The new-to-market indicators increase productivity and minimize workforce errors by providing innovative personnel guidance in a variety of applications…
