Belden: BEETLE Single Pair Ethernet Lite Managed Switch

The Lumberg Automation BEETLE Lite Managed Switch supports the transition to future-ready networks built using Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), supporting seamless sensor-to-cloud connectivity. As industrial environments grow in complexity, enterprises have opportunities to connect more field devices and gather more data. However, they need to consider space and weight constraints and simplify network infrastructure where possible. SPE supports this goal by allowing connectivity via a single pair of wires rather than the two or four pairs required by standard Ethernet.

ABB Launches Next Generation ACH180 MicroDrive Specialized for HVACR systems

ABB introduces its next generation MicroDrive, ACH180, that complies with UL standards, including UL61800-5-1 for drives and UL60335-2-40 for HVACR (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration) equipment. As the newest addition to ABB’s HVACR drive portfolio, the ACH180 enables expert control of high-efficiency motors, while utilizing a compact design for space savings, lower capital expenditure and easier commissioning. The ACH180 drive’s design allows operators to run motors based on the HVACR process demands, rather than running them at full speed and reducing output using mechanical controls like throttles or dampers, which greatly reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.
