Siemens 3SK1 Advanced basic units can be made more flexible.The 3SK1220 input expansion allows additional sensors to be integrated easily and flexibly. The device monitors two single-channel sensors or one two-channel sensor, whatever their output technology (floating/single-ended). The 3SK1230 power supply makes the 3SK1 devices universally usable, whatever control supply voltage is to be used. Alongside the 3ZY12 device connector, the 3SK1230 power supply can also be wired to act as a power supply for 3SK1 devices.
Contactor relays are switching devices for control and auxiliary circuits and are used for controlling, signaling and locking switching devices and switchgear. The SIRIUS 3RH2 contactor relays come with standard-compliant connection designations and a connection system that saves both time and installation overhead. This makes them particularly suitable for practical applications.
The PSRswitch is Phoenix Contact’s new safety switch for smart door safety and position monitoring in machines and assembly lines. The compact, RFID coded, non-contact safety switch is capable of connecting up to 30 sensors in a series while achieving SIL 3/PLe. When combining the PSRswitch with the PSR-MC42 PSRmini safety relay, machine builders can take advantage of IO-Link diagnostics to easily adapt their safety system for an IIoT-enabled future.
Panel builders require standardized options for power connectivity that save space, increase functionality, and enhance performance. Phoenix Contact’s new M12 Power cables and connectors make it easy to power drive motors, fans, lighting, and other distributed control boxes, even in tight spaces. The products, which are UL Listed and tested under UL 2237 (File E46873), can handle currents up to 16 A or voltages up to 600 V AC/63 V DC.
TURCK has launched the ARGEE 3 programming environment for its I/O devices to improve the user experience. The enhanced ARGEE programming environment is used to program logic functions inside its multiprotocol I/O devices, making them field logic controllers (FLCs). The ARGEE environment is accessible via an HTML5-compatible web browser, which eliminates the need for complex third-party software or any licensing common with PLCs.
Power management company Eaton has announced an advancement in circuit protection technology with its globally certified Power DefenseTM molded case circuit breakers. The circuit protection system provides a high level of metering accuracy within a breaker and real-time monitoring to deliver actionable facility insights. Leveraging embedded communication capability to do the work previously required by multiple components, the system’s advanced functionality reduces the assembly footprint.
Omron Automation Americas has released 2,500 new models of its E2E NEXT proximity sensor series that offers long sensing distances and IoT functionality. E2E sensors are designed to help manufacturers reduce potential causes of unplanned downtime while benefiting from the sensors’ environmental resistance. The addition of IO-Link functionality enables the sensors to reduce recovery time by indicating the location and cause of failures.
Rittal North America introduces the RiLine Compact System for power distribution in confined enclosures and small control cabinets. It is ideal for most small control panel applications and provides optimal use of panel space. For power demands below 100 A, the RiLine system is a safer, more cost-effective power distribution alternative to traditional wiring.
ERNI continues to expand its interconnect solutions designed for programmable logic/automation controllers, distributed control systems, remote I/O and other industrial automation applicaitons.Connectors offering 1.27 mm [.050”] pitch or less are becoming more common, while open pinfield interfaces offer the user maximum design flexibility for low speed and higher speed differential data.
Designed to replace traditional terminal blocks, the EF2 Series Zero ScrewTM connector delivers quick and secure one-step connection. By eliminating the need for screws, the EF2 Series terminals do not require inspection or retightening to ensure a stable and consistent connection like traditional terminal blocks. As a result, the screwless terminal block series significantly reduces the electrical wiring time and maintenance workload compared to conventional terminal blocks.
Sealed from both above and below the mounting surface, the rugedized RAMO Series emergency stop switches from RAFI offer an innovative solution that allows customers to reduce assembly time and wiring errors.
Orion Fans has expanded its DC axial fan product family with the addition of nine new IP68-rated series. Offering protection from dust and water, the IP68-rated DC fans are designed for a wide range of harsh environment applications.
Laird Thermal Systems’ highly efficient thermoelectric assemblies (TEAs) significantly improve performance and lowers operating costs of applications in rugged outdoor environments. Designed for applications like outdoor kiosks, battery backup cabinets, enclosures, and electronic cabinets, the Outdoor Coolers run at nominal voltages at either 24 or 48 VDC and offer dependable cooling capacities ranging from 100 to 480 Watts.
The YS1700 Programmable Indicating Controller can be tailored for various applications by running a user program, and offers high reliability thanks to Yokogawa’s proprietary technology, user friendliness, and expandability. Standard models are smaller and lighter than earlier series, requiring less space for installation, and are compliant with international safety standards including the CE Mark and FM nonincendive (optional) approvals.
The PowerXL DA1 advanced variable frequency drive is ideal for demanding applications that are speed- and torque-dependent. Eaton’s PowerXL product family delivers outstanding performance regarding motor control and modularity.
