B&R’s real-time operating system, Automation Runtime, now automatically logs data about storage media’s health to provide machine operators and service personnel early warnings of impending failure. Storage media can be replaced before a crash causes lost data and costly downtime. B&R is among the first to bring this commercial-grade feature to industrial embedded runtime systems.
With SIRIUS Control, you always have the right solution at hand. SIRIUS is a modular system with a uniform design and a multitude of potential combinations. You also benefit from more than 50,000 pretested and approved combinations for the most common applications. High-quality CAx data simplifies electrical engineering and saves you time during panel building.
SCHURTER’s DG11 series power entry module has received CCC approval in addition to ENEC and cURus approvals.
Part of the 718 Series, the new binder connector provides high reliability under advanced requirements with a new type of shielding concept. – even for customized specifications.
Hammond Manufacturing’s Type 4 4x Glass reinforced polyster enclosures are molded from a black, glass reinforced polyester with a smooth finish and includes a gasketed lid with two piece “tongue & groove” construction, a heavy duty, thick wall design, and is North American Mark of Safety – C UL & UL listed, as well as Industrial Control Panel Enclosure Certified to NEMA 4, 4X standards (UL 508A) – File #E65324 and IP66 Rated.
Simplifying saves time and money. And Rittal’s full portfolio of wallmount enclosures features products that are engineered for easy installation and seamless integration into state-of-the-art manufacturing processes. Rittal have updated their Wallmount Technical Guide to include brand new wallmount solutions, including the new generation of AX and KX small and compact enclosures.
Klein Tools, for professionals since 1857, introduces a new line of electrical test kits, which offer their best-selling meters and testers in convenient, value-priced kits.
RAFI has expanded its RAMO S selector switch series to include integrated M12 plug and play connectors that simplify assembly. The M12 terminals ensure that the necessary wiring effort is reduced to a minimum and that no extra enclosures with special sealing are required.
Murata has developed a series of miniature DC panel meters developed for industrial and laboratory voltage and current measurement applications.
Enabling wireless access to a machine or system, the new Wireless Access Point (758-919) supports WLAN (IEEE802.11a/b/g/d/n/r), Bluetooth® or Bluetooth® Low Energy in different operating modes
AutomationDirect has added Schmersal two-hand control panels to its lineup of safety products. Two-hand control systems are used with a special control monitoring relay and require an operator to use both hands simultaneously when initiating a hazardous operation. This forces an operator to keep their hands on the two-hand control actuator and out of an unsafe spot when a system is performing a hazardous operation.
New counterbalance support hinges from Southco reduces overall cost of lifting and positioning heavy panels and lids.
The EJ1254 digital input module acquires the fast binary 24 V control signals from the process level and transmits them, in an electrically isolated form, to the controller. The EtherCAT plug-in module has four channels that indicate their signal state via light emitting diodes. The signals are furnished with a time stamp that identifies the time of the last edge change with a resolution of 1 ns.
Siemens is presenting Sitrans SCM IQ, a new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution for Smart Condition Monitoring, at the Hannover Messe 2021. It enables potential incidents to be detected and prevented at an early stage, thus reducing maintenance costs and downtimes, and increasing plant performance by up to ten percent. The wireless, robust Sitrans MS200 multisensors form the hardware basis for installation on machinery.
Many manufacturers use time-consuming and potentially dangerous manual processes to inspect servo motors for insulation issues. If this sounds like your company, it might be time to switch over to an automated, remote-based servo motor condition monitoring solution that works around the clock. Omron’s new K7GE remote servo condition monitor is part of their predictive maintenance solution offering that’s designed to help manufacturers minimize downtime without sacrificing productivity.
Machine operators can now pass control of their machine seamlessly between the main HMI and their mobile devices. A new feature of B&R’s mapp View HMI solution ensures that the controls and information they need are always at their fingertips, so they can move freely around the plant floor as they continue working. “Until now, HMI terminals have restricted machine operators to working within a certain radius,” explains B&R software expert Manuel Sánchez.
