Banner Engineering: R50C Motor Driven Roller (MDR) Controller – Compact Plug-and-Play Motor Driven Roller Control

The R50C MDR Controller helps keep control of conveyors and other equipment in one system and gives system designers more efficient control of motor driven rollers using a PLC. Modbus communication, two configurable I/O channels, and a 0–18 volt analog output provide precision MDR control for a variety of conveyor systems, as the R50C is compatible with many different types of MDRs with integrated controls. Standard A-coded M12 connectors for sharing signals, and L-coded M12 pass-through connections for daisy chaining up to 16 amps of motor power, simplify installation of multiple motor driven roller controllers on a conveyor.

Beckhoff Integrates Dynamic Weighing into Standard TwinCAT Automation Software

The TwinCAT 3 Weighing Library from Beckhoff adds a fast, precise scale for weight measurement directly into a standard machine control environment. This new PLC package, which supports manual and automatic triggering, is highly effective when implemented with measurement I/O modules from Beckhoff, particularly the ELM35xx and EL3356 EtherCAT Terminals. Equipped with high-performance signal filtering, this solution accelerates process sequences in wide-ranging applications. This eliminates the need for many standalone, single-purpose measurement and sensing solutions that would require additional engineering time and effort to integrate with the automation and controls equipment.

Pfannenberg Highlights PQF Premium Quick Filter for Easy Filter Maintenance

Pfannenberg, Inc. highlights its PQF Premium Quick Filter, ideal for managing particulates and oily mist on critical equipment. Typical internal metal filter systems require equipment downtime to clean and maintain. The PQF Filter affixes externally, acting as a first line of defense for critical equipment and eliminating the need for maintenance downtime. Oily and dusty buildup is a leading contributor to system failures as buildup reduces airflow and causes system overheating. The PQF Premium Quick Filter has helped Pfannenberg customers reduce their aluminum filter maintenance to two or fewer times per year—allowing businesses to allocate technician resources for other critical needs.
