Industrial manufacturers can optimize their operations and reach higher levels of efficiency with the latest addition in the Allen‑Bradley ArmorBlock 5000 I/O portfolio, the 16-point configurable blocks. These I/O blocks provide unparalleled configurability and integrated I/O capabilities that help enhance flexibility and precision in automation systems.
EAO has extended the robust Series 82 with a new product variant with vibration-resistant cable connections. It is common to expose pushbuttons and indicators to extremely harsh operating conditions. For example in the food and beverage industry, where alkaline cleaning agents and corrosion severely affect HMIs. In addition, external factors in the form of hard-to-remove dirt, fine dust, along with severe vibrations and blunt impacts also require HMIs to offer a very high level of resistance.
The new LEMUR lite managed switch family offers the most advanced data rates for the price point, up to 11 ports, PoE/PoE+ options, IP30 protection and an extended temperature range of -40°C to +60°C. As automation expands, powerful, ruggedized and cost-effective switches are a necessity. The LEMUR lite managed switch family provides sought-after features –full Gigabit Ethernet and PoE/PoE+ options – for a reasonable price point.
Emerson is building upon the innovative technologies and solutions in the DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) with the release of DeltaV Version 15 Feature Pack 1. This feature pack release includes new technology and enhancements to current capabilities that not only improve control system situational awareness and performance, but also help ensure more efficient, sustainable operations.
October 9, 2023 ROLEC conFORM electronic enclosures with built-in RFI/EMI shielding are now available in 14 sizes. Robust conFORM (IP 66, IP 67 optional) is ideal for a wide range of industrial electronics that involve regular inspections and maintenance.

Omron Automation has expanded the Programmable Multi-Axis Controllers (PMAC) portfolio. Designed to facilitate ease of use, the PMAC platform encompasses a range of form factors that enable seamless integration into specialized machinery. A few of the key additions made to the PMAC platform are the CK5M, CK3M Laser Module, CK3C, and CK3A.
AutomationDirect has added new SOLO modular temperature controllers that offer the same functionality as the SOLO standard controllers but at a lower price. These temperature controllers feature a modular snap-together design that allows users to add channels as needed. Each channel can be configured with a different control mode and output type, making it possible to tailor a system to the application’s specific requirements.
Littelfuse, Inc. has recently launched its Class J Fuse Disconnect Switch. The compact device combines a switch and multiple fuses into a single product offering a simpler way to manually open and close a circuit while safeguarding against overcurrent and short circuits. When the switch detects an overload or short circuit, the fuse blows automatically to open or break the circuit both upstream and downstream and shuts off the equipment.
Introducing the C4XSC Series Type 4X stainless steel junction box, designed for use as a wiring box, junction box, terminal or pull box in indoor or outdoor applications where subject to hose down/precipitation or corrosion. The C4XSC Series abides by various standards, such as UL 508A (Types 3, 4X and 12), cULus per CSA C22.2 No. 94 (Types 3, 4X and 12), NEMA (Types 3, 4X and 12), IEC 60529 and IP66.
