i³ CONTROL – The New Automation Platform

With i³ CONTROL, Yaskawa is creating a completely new automation platform. The special feature of this ecosystem, which was presented as a concept for the first time in mid-2022, is that it forms a technically coordinated overall solution for industry-specific controls – from the engineering software to the controller hardware to the integrated chip technology. And, in the future, beyond. As a first anticipation of the continuously growing i³ CONTROL portfolio, the specially developed software environment – i³ Engineer – and the first machine controller of this new platform – the iC9210-PN – experienced their world premiere. Market launch was planned from the end of 2022.

AutomationDirect: ProSense Frequency Signal Conditioners

AutomationDirect has added frequency signal conditioners from ProSense.  These new signal conditioners are extremely versatile, affordable, and provide the flexibility to convert, transmit, scale, and isolate input signals from a wide variety of process sensors and controller I/O. The SCU-2200 universal analog-to-frequency converters accept milliamp, voltage, RTD, thermocouple, or potentiometer inputs and provide a scalable single-frequency output (up to 25kHz). They are helpful when a controller does not have any analog input points available but does have a frequency input.

PULS Power: PISA-B Multi-Channel Electronic Circuit Breaker

PULS Power: PISA-B Multi-Channel Electronic Circuit Breaker

PISA-B is an efficient electronic circuit breaker (ECB). It distributes the current, protects your loads from over-current or short-circuits and monitors the operating status in DC 24V systems. The 8-channel programmable capability can identify and isolate individual faulty branches. It shuts down the affected channels only and secures the constant power supply of the remaining loads. An integrated data monitoring reports the operating status to a PLC or control center. The electronic circuit breaker also alarms in case of an error and allows a remote reset of the channels.

WAGO: Single-Channel Electronic Circuit Breakers (ECBs) – Precise Protection and Space Savings for DC Circuits

WAGO’s single-channel electronic circuit breakers (ECBs) guarantee reliable protection in the control cabinet. They protect both devices and cables while selectively disconnecting individual current paths, preventing unaffected paths from being shut down. As soon as the corresponding tripping currents are reached or even exceeded, they automatically trip in a set time. The tripping currents can be flexibly parameterized or fixed, depending on the model.

Fischer Connectors: Single Pair Ethernet and USB 3.2 Protocols Enhance IIoT Connectivity with Ultra-Rugged Solutions

With the increase in sensor density, actuators and controllers in Industry 4.0 and IIoT operational settings, high power levels and massive amounts of data must be securely and efficiently managed through ultra-fast transmission lines with cables running over long distances. Miniature connectors and cables are needed to interconnect smaller and smaller devices and sensors in areas that are sometimes confined and hard to access. And connectivity must be ruggedized to resist shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, water and corrosion when exposed to demanding environmental and chemical conditions, both indoors and outdoors.
