B&R has added three new option boards for its X90 product line. With the new boards, it is now possible to connect strain gauges and an IO-Link master module to the mobile machinery control system. It is also possible to add relays with normally open contacts for potential-free communication. With all the new options, X90 controllers are more readily adaptable than ever to all types of application requirements.
Industrial enclosures specialist ROLEC has added a tough new static/mobile base to its profiPLUS 50 range of suspension arms for HMI/panel enclosures and displays. The new base unit offers a smart and robust floor-standing solution for light-to-medium loads. It is perfect for a wide range of applications including Smart Factory, process automation, robotics and machine controllers.
The SAMXD Series navigation switches from C&K directly drive electric motors, removing the need for relays and allowing for space and cost savings in automotive applications.
Rittal North America, a global manufacturer of industrial and IT enclosures, introduces the new VX SE free-standing enclosure system that offers greater versatility. For applications where Rittal’s AX compact enclosures are too small and the TS 8 baying enclosures are too large, the VX SE is an ideal midway alternative for applications where baying is not required.
B&R’s mapp Temperature software package provides a new pre-programmed way to get manufacturing systems up to temperature. At the push of a button, the Soft-Start function heats up machine components gently to minimize heating element fatigue – without any of the tedious programming that used to be involved. Homogeneous heating reduces mechanical stresses and allows for controlled evaporation of liquid residues in the machine.
The ZMV Series mini snap acting switches can be actuated from different angle into the pin plunger version.
DATA MODUL is introducing its newest addition to its Ruggedized TFT line, the sunlight readable and lower power consumption displays with Blanview technology from Toppan (OrtusTech). Toppan’s unique TFT-LCD technology, known as “Blanview,” enables the display to create high contrast and crisp images, even in bright circumstances. In addition, the displays are characterized by low power consumption and low heat generation.
Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company, recently announces the immediate availability of Dura-Con Micro-D Top Entry EMI Backshells through our distribution partners. Cinch Dura-Con Top Entry EMI Backshells are available in both plug and socket configurations for all eight of the standard micro-d sizes.

Many safety systems add complexity to the applications into which they’re designed. However, it doesn’t need to be this way. With the right tools, you can streamline your safety system to improve flexibility and align it with your specific needs. Omron is introducing a set of brand-new NX safety tools with Sysmac 1.45 that are designed to reduce the complexity of the average safety system and improve overall ease of use.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation recently announced that Yokogawa and Shell have jointly developed Platform for Advanced Control and Estimation R5.03 and would release it on June 2 as a solution under the OpreX Asset Operations and Optimization family. Platform for Advanced Control and Estimation is a software suite that brings together Shell’s advanced plant process control technology and Yokogawa’s real-time control technology to help customers improve productivity by increasing product yield and reducing energy consumption.
The EL2044 digital output terminal connects the binary 24 V DC control signals from the automation device on to the actuators at the process level with electrical isolation. The EtherCAT Terminal contains four channels that indicate its signal state by means of light emitting diodes. The integrated diagnostics can be evaluated in the controller and is indicated by the LEDs.
The ZMV Series mini snap acting switches from C&K can be actuated from different angle into the pin plunger version.
Stewart Connector, a Bel group company, recently announced a new line of IP67 rated USB Type-A Cable Assemblies. Designed for use in IoT applications where reliability and functionality are necessary and USB connections are needed outside of typical office applications, these cable assemblies can be used in multiple applications, including industrial automation, medical devices, military applications, and other harsh environments.
