SIMATIC S7-1500V is an entirely virtual PLC based upon the functions and operation of the SIMATIC S7-1500 PLC and is independent of its hardware. It extends the current S7-1500 PLC offering, which allows for more flexible and modular design of production plants, and is a virtual controller that is completely compatible with TIA Portal. With this, you can rely on familiar tools and build on projects that are already created in TIA Portal, and use OT solutions you have previously employed in an IT environment and benefit from their advantages without giving up familiar structures.
Leuze introduces new tower lights in robust aluminum housing onto the market: The TL 305 series impresses with bright and homogeneous illumination as well as an optional IO-Link interface. Tower lights are indispensable in machine and system construction as well as in intralogistics: They make states, faults and ongoing processes clearly visible from a distance. The new Leuze tower lights of the TL 305 series can do all of this extremely reliably. They light up brightly, uniformly and fully. This enables optimum signaling – whether at the machine, on the conveyor belt or for access control.
