Mississauga, ON, February 2018 – Festo has introduced a translucent version of the company’s PUN-H tubing, which provides a tough, long-lasting solution for standard applications involving compressed air, vacuum and many uses of water.
With their many advantages, digitally controlled, high-precision piezo valves like Festo Canada’s new VEAA and VEAB make a strong case to replace conventional solenoid valves in a wide range of industrial applications involving flow and pressure control. Piezo valves use very little energy, generating virtually no heat, which helps qualify them as intrinsically safe for use in volatile or explosive environments.
HARTING’s new Han-Modular Surge Protection Modules make it possible to move surge protection into its most widely used industrial connector series, a space-saving idea that simplifies wiring arrangements. Proper surge protection for Instrumental and Control (I&C) signals usually requires separate, external solutions that add to material and labour costs.
POSITAL’s heavy-duty IXARC incremental and absolute rotary encoders are built to stand up to extreme environmental conditions. Based on a housing design with a 25-year track record of surviving the toughest conditions, these devices are suitable for marine vessels, off-shore facilities, mines, cranes, wind turbines and other challenging locations.
Pilz expands its remote I/O system PSSuniversal 2 by a head module with EtherNet/IP interface. This means that PSSuniversal 2 offers the necessary openness for smooth communication in various control environments on an Ethernet basis.
The configurable control system PNOZmulti 2 for safety and automation from Pilz, a world leader in Automation Safety, has two new communication modules for connection to Ethernet-based systems. With these, the base unit can now be expanded on the left-hand side and can easily be connected to PROFINET or Ethernet/IP networks.
With its new product range PMI (Pilz Machine Interface) 6 Control, the automation company Pilz is introducing its first operator terminal to be equipped with a soft PLC in accordance with IEC 61131-3 as standard.
Rittal is now expanding its range of cooling units with the addition of a device with an output class of 1.6 kW. Besides being 75 percent more energy-efficient than previous cooling solutions on average, the units also excel in terms of connectivity, safety and handling. The new FTTA approval also makes the UL certification process much easier.
Rotary encoder specialist POSITAL has expanded its interface offerings for its magnetic Kit Encoders, launched with great success last year, with support for the non-proprietary open-source BiSS Line communication protocol.
Machine and equipment builders are already using tight integration between the HMI and controller to help increase productivity in large applications. With the new Allen-Bradley PanelView 5310 family of graphic terminals, they can now bring these integration benefits to smaller applications.
As the use of 690 V energy efficient motors continues to grow within industrial applications, ABB has launched its new range of EQ A44 three phase 690 V high-functionality electricity meters, which deliver outstanding performance for the reliable metering of energy usage.
At the core of a EcoStruxure Building is a SmartStruxure server device, such as AS-B. AS-B perform functionality, such as control logic, trend logging, and alarm supervision, provides builtin I/O, and supports communication and connectivity to the field buses.
With the Eaton Power Xpert Multi-Point meter, facility managers can track and accurately allocate energy usage among tenants or departments. Power Xpert Multi-Point meters monitor, quantify and help benchmark energy usage in office buildings, shopping malls, industrial sites, universities and campuses, apartment and condominium complexes.
This Busch-SmartTouch provides a central control point for the ABB i-bus KNX, which can also be used as an indoor video station for the ABB-Welcome door communication system – an excellent combination.
Publish your building automation system to the Web quickly and easily with the Reliable Controls MACH-ProWebSys. The first 3-in-1 device of its kind, the MACH-ProWebSys combines a BTL-listed BACnet Building Controller (B-BC), a BTL-listed BACnet Operator Workstation (B-OWS), and a powerful web server, all in a single package with an installed footprint of a typical building controller.
The open structure of EC-Net building management system (BMS) creates a common development and management environment for the integration of BACnet, LONWORKS, Modbus™, and other standards.
