The new WLAN 1010 and WLAN 2010 industrial WLAN wireless modules from Phoenix Contact enable you to easily equip compact machines, mobile robots, or automated transport systems with a WLAN interface. Unlike the “all in one” WLAN modules, WLAN 1100 and WLAN 2100, the new WLAN modules in the device series enable the connection of external antennas.
The compact FL BLE 1300 wireless module with integrated antenna from Phoenix Contact connects up to eight industrial Bluetooth Low Energy sensors to industrial controllers and IoT systems. This allows access to sensor data from a machine control system, for example. The acquired operational data and information form the basis for innovative IoT applications intended to optimize production processes.
OKW’s TOPTEC plastic enclosures for PCBs with protruding connectors and interfaces are now available in 28 different permutations. TOPTEC is ideal for applications including monitoring, signalling and control systems; medical and wellness devices; laboratory technology; computer peripherals and IoT/IIoT. Installations are faster because pre-assembled PCBs fitted with protruding connectors or interfaces can be mounted directly into the case – with no need to wire them in afterwards.
10 years on from its original launch, Phoenix Contact is introducing version 2.11 of its mGuard Secure Remote Service ecosystem to the market with added features and new system functions. It is not just Android-based mobile end devices for service technicians and iOS-based Apple devices that are supported. On the machine side, PLCnext Control devices from Phoenix Contact can also be easily and securely connected to the mGuard Secure Remote Service.
Phoenix Contact brings a new dimension of convenience to conductor connections with the lever-actuated PCB terminal blocks and PCB connectors of the consistent LPT and LPC series. They combine the reliability of Push-in spring connection with extremely user-friendly lever actuation. With its extended range, Phoenix Contact serves all performance classes up to more than 50 kW connected load.
Phoenix Contact has extended its existing M12 portfolio to include new push-pull connectors with internal locking. The cross-manufacturer locking system based on IEC 61076-2-010 enables easy cabling and space-saving device connection. The tool-free connection offers significant advantages during installation, especially in confined spaces and applications with a high cabling density, such as in factory automation.
SapiSelco cable ties offer a low-cost solution (from $1.50 for pack of 100) for wire management needs. These high-quality cable ties provide reliable cable and wire management and are designed with rounded edges to eliminate damage to cable sleeves caused by cable ties with sharp edges. This ensures reliable and trouble-free performance for extended periods of time.
Watlow recently introduced its new 1/32 DIN PM LEGACY controllers, which are the first 1/32 DIN controllers on the market to incorporate Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluetooth is used to enable EZ-LINK, Watlow’s mobile app for setting up, monitoring and adjusting PM PLUS and PM LEGACY controllers. Watlow’s PM LEGACY SERIES panel-mount controllers are PID controllers that offer optimal performance utilizing simple control and menu functionality without complex features.
MTW machine tool wire is now also available in 1,000-foot reels for gauges ranging from 14 AWG to 22 AWG in various color choices. Existing MTW wire is sold in 500-foot spools for gauge sizes ranging from 20 AWG to 10 AWG in various colors, and in 2,500-foot reels for gauges ranging from 12 AWG to 18 AWG in various colors.
TwinCAT/BSD provides an alternative operating system for all of the latest Beckhoff Industrial PC (IPC) platforms. TwinCAT/BSD combines the TwinCAT runtime with FreeBSD, an industrial-proven and reliable open-source operating system. FreeBSD is Unix-compatible and is continually being further developed, improved and optimized as an open-source project by a large group of developers.
RS Pro On delay time delay relay is a dual voltage, single function timer that is compact in size and suitable for DIN Rail mounting.
AirSTREAM Compact is used in smaller, compact cabinets in which there is little space in the depth. The rail profiles on the AirSTREAM Compact are not carried with brackets but with supports. These are available in various lengths so that different depths can be achieved. As usual, wiring is installed at the front. Here, the cores are installed to the rear across the combs and then at the side from top to bottom across the supports.

It develops, manufactures and sells high-quality components along with complete solutions in the area of safe automation for facility and machine building worldwide. DOLD has successfully managed to undergo continuous development: from paving the way as a pioneer in relay technology to being the leading industry representative for functional safety, electrical safety and drive technology in Europe.
The only product that could be better than Bud’s PN series NEMA4 /IP65 plastic boxes is their new PN-A series which is rated NEMA 6P and is are IP68 plastic boxes. While the original series is able to withstand a strong water spray, the new series has been tested to withstand being submerged under more than a meter of water and for more than 30 minutes.
Mitsubishi Electric has recently announced a new way for CNC customers to get their machine tool back up and running with Remote4U. Remote4U is a gateway unit designed to allow users to resume production quicker when their CNC machine tools encounter a problem. Machine tool builders and dealers can achieve an easy, low-cost remote service using the Remote4U platform.
