C&K has extended its detect product family to include an ultra-low current version.
Plant availability plays a crucial role in the process industry in particular, so building redundancy into automation technology designs is vital. This is why Beckhoff expanded its extensive range of solutions in this area to also include a software solution for redundant control operation: TwinCAT Controller Redundancy. While the robust design of the company’s Industrial PCs alone already ensures a high level of availability, Beckhoff is now expanding its product portfolio.
Both in 24/7 production facilities and applications with the highest safety requirements as well, as in the field of simple applications in serial machine construction, three decisive factors are particularly important in terms of cost-effectiveness: plant availability, maintenance costs and energy requirements. As a result, the demands made on switched-mode power supplies are high.
Introducing the ZEN-20 I/O from Omron, a 12 Input and 8 Output relay/transistor in one unit. With the Zen-20 I/O programmable relay unit, you can do a lot of larger scale automation where the 10 I/O versions fall short. The 20 I/O unit is available in three different versions: starting with the C1 with LCD display, control/program buttons, calender and clock, then the C2 with LED status indication, and finally the C3 with the same functionality as the C1 but with a fixed I/O.
The new Allen-Bradley 42EA RightSight S18 and 42JA VisiSight M20A photoelectric sensors are economical and easy-to-apply sensing solutions that offer a wide range of sensing modes, mounting options and unique features, making them optimal solutions for global operations. All models have a visible red-light source to ease alignment, while multiple connection options and adjustment knobs for light or dark operation help ease installation, setup and maintenance.
B&R’s ACOPOS P3 servo drive can be used in machines regardless of where they are deployed. Machine builders save the cost of building different variants of a machine for each country, because the ACOPOS P3 is compatible with all common power supply systems worldwide. B&R’s ACOPOS P3 servo drive now supports TN-S and TN-C-S systems with a grounded outer conductor as well as TT and IT systems with a grounded outer conductor.
binder presents its program for 7/8” connection technology. Designed as 3-, 4- or 5-pin variants, connectors with screw clamp termination as well as pre-assembled cable connectors with straight or angled cable outlet are available. The products equipped with reliable screw locking meet the conditions of protection degree IP67 – the overmolded cables even IP68 – and have UL certification for use on the North-American continent.
The cost of contamination can add up, averaging between $10-30 million in direct costs of a recall, plus lost sales, customer confidence and more. In facilities where bacteria reduction and detectability are critical, a standard cable tie may go unidentified in product and its notched design can be a home for microorganisms. ABB has expanded its line of Ty-Rap cable ties with Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties, the industry’s first two-piece antimicrobial and detectable cable tie.
WAGO combines PLC and remote I/O into compact controller.
The rounded ergonomic design of the SMART-BOX series is designed to enhance the visual impact and tactile quality of your industrial electronics.
A first to market solution, the surface-mount K12S 12N keyswitch offers more than 1-million actuation cycles.
The new SXN-75 high-brightness water-resistant 75” LCD monitor is the ideal solution for industrial facilities.
SCHURTER now offers DIN-Rail mount adaptor kits with metal clips to provide a simple solution for converting panel mount block filters to DIN-Rail mount for use inside control cabinets.
Ethernet expandable I/O modules from Acromag now offer field-selectable EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP networking protocol.
CUI Devices’ Interconnect Group has recently announced the introduction of circular cable assemblies to its cable assemblies portfolio. Available in M12 connector types, CUI Devices’ CDM12 family offers a range of male or female plug versions and contact position options of 3, 4, 5, 8, and 12 pins. These M12 cables are A coded to support 1 Gbit Ethernet and carry IP67 ratings to deal with harsh environments found in industrial and factory automation applications.
Yaskawa America, Inc., Drives and Motion Division, announces the newest addition to the industrial AC drive family, the FP605 Industrial Fan and Pump Drive.
