RS recently became a key U.S. stocking distributor for Siemens Process Instrumentation products, which were previously only available as configure-to-order solutions that had to be sourced directly from Siemens. The Siemens Process Instrumentation product line offers a wide range of temperature, pressure, and level measurement solutions that are engineered for seamless integration with most industrial automation and control systems and designed to deliver reliable, high-precision performance in a variety of challenging industrial environments.
Rockwell Automation is excited to unveil the Allen‑Bradley 852C and 852D On-Machine LED Indicators, a powerful and compact solution for indicating machine status. Maximizing machine uptime requires a clear understanding of equipment and processes, and when critical conditions arise, effective communication is essential to address issues swiftly and avoid costly downtime.
Introducing Wago’s switched-mode power supply with integrated charger and controller, under part designation 787-1675. This switched-mode power supply is designed as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), with battery control technology for smooth charging and predictive maintenance applications. Potential-free contacts provide functional monitoring. A buffer time can be set on site via a rotary switch, parameter setting and monitoring is done via RS-223 interface, and natural convection cooling is applied when horizontally mounted.
Introducing the flanged 1550ZF Series watertight diecast aluminum enclosure from Hammond Manufacturing, a thick-wall electronic instrument enclosure made from a rugged diecast aluminum alloy that is tough yet easy to machine. These enclosures feature a two piece tongue and groove construction for protection against access of dust and water and a strong spot-welded bottom flange which allows for easy mounting.
Phoenix Contact’s new zero-cut block optimizes tedious measuring when aligning perforation holes in DIN rail. The accessory to the DIN rail cutters enables quick, repeatable cuts, reducing errors and waste and saving time. An adjustable slide makes it easy to set zero-cut conditions for a fast, efficient cutting process. The adapter is designed for perforated DIN rail types NS 35/7,5, NS 35/15, and NS 15.
Bud Industries has recently expanded its line of electronic enclosures with the introduction of the PNB Series IP67 Plastic Boxes with Knockouts. These enclosures are designed to provide reliable protection for electronic components in various industrial environments, offering a blend of durability, affordability, and user-friendly features.
The KEL-DPFR cable entry plates make it possible to insert several cables with different diameters from 3 to 28 mm and seal them in accordance with up to IP66. A great benefit when the exact cable diameter is not known in advance. Due to the flexibility and unique pyramid shape of the membranes, routing and flexible positioning of rigid cables is much easier compared to using conventional cable glands.
Emerson has recently announced the launch of the NI LabVIEW+ Suite for HIL, a powerful new software solution designed to address the growing needs of engineers developing and testing embedded software. Tailored specifically for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) customers, LabVIEW+ Suite for HIL brings together test, validation and data analysis tools in a unified platform to streamline workflows and accelerate time-to-market.
Acromag’s BusWorks® NT series remote I/O modules now offer a RESTful API (Representational State Transfer Application Program Interface) to simplify development of web-based services. The NT I/O module system firmware embeds the API to support reading/writing of I/O data. Web services can use HTTP POST and GET requests to exchange information with the NT’s I/O…
AutomationDirect has added new specialty modules for the CLICK PLC family. CLICK PLUS CPUs offer the utmost versatility with up to two option slots for custom I/O configurations. These option slots also allow for specialty modules, including the C2-DCM serial communication module and the new C2-NRED and C2-OPCUA modules. The C2-NRED module provides an industrial interface to the most popular open-source software tool for developing IIoT applications – Node-RED.
AutomationDirect has added the new Titanio series of stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions. These drives offer peak performance, a rich feature set, and work seamlessly with AutomationDirect SureStep® stepper motors. Three new drives are available with two open-loop (no encoder feedback) models and one open/closed-loop version (a motor-mounted encoder provides position feedback to the drive). Unlike typical stepper drives, Titanio steppers can detect stalls in open-loop control mode by monitoring the motor’s back EMF.
Banner’s Field Wireable Connectors with Slide Lock Terminals make connector assembly fast and intuitive. With color-coded terminals and a screwless design, these IP68-rated connectors assemble 3x faster than screw terminals, delivering reliable performance in demanding environments. Simply insert a prepared wire into the matching color-coded terminal and secure it by sliding the lock mechanism into place. No tools. No screws. Just a straightforward, reliable connection with less effort and in less time.
RS offers Banner Engineering’s extensive portfolio of advanced industrial automation sensors, including non-contact photoelectric, laser distance measurement, and multipoint or 3D time-of-flight sensors. Sensors are a vital link in the densely interconnected networks that drive the implementation and evolution of Industry 4.0 — responsible for measuring, monitoring, and transmitting information about a host of operations essential to driving efficiencies on assembly lines and factory floors alike. And as industrial automation technology has evolved, so have the various sensor technologies that enable them.
Torsion is a particular type of load for cables and wires that requires cables to possess special characteristics. Otherwise, users could be faced with damaged cables and operational disruptions. This article will show you what effects torsion can have on electrical connections and what to pay attention to when selecting torsion-resistant cables.
