C&K has extended its detect product family to include an ultra-low current version.
Plant availability plays a crucial role in the process industry in particular, so building redundancy into automation technology designs is vital. This is why Beckhoff expanded its extensive range of solutions in this area to also include a software solution for redundant control operation: TwinCAT Controller Redundancy. While the robust design of the company’s Industrial PCs alone already ensures a high level of availability, Beckhoff is now expanding its product portfolio.
LAPP’s ÖLFLEX HEAT 260 SC heat-resistant single-core industrial cable now carries UL AWM certification/cRU AWM I A/B. Ideal for applications subject to extreme temperatures, the ÖLFLEX HEAT 260 SC cable features polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) insulation to provide exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, other chemicals and UV exposure.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation has recently announced the release of the OpreXTM IT/OT Security Operations Center service. This new addition to the OpreX Safety and Security family is a centrally managed service based on people (service organization), processes, and technology. Targeted primarily at industrial enterprises, this service was developed by Yokogawa to improve the security of IT and OT networks.
Jonard Tools’ new Compact Cable Cutter (JIC-500) easily cuts completely through network cables, including their nylon ripcords. The compact cable cutter is specifically to be smaller in size, making it easy enough to bring anywhere. The cable cutter also features an ultra-sharp, curved blade designed to minimize cable deformation while cutting. Its large jaw opening allows a user to cut network or copper cables up to 0.50″ (12.7 mm) in diameter.
Both in 24/7 production facilities and applications with the highest safety requirements as well, as in the field of simple applications in serial machine construction, three decisive factors are particularly important in terms of cost-effectiveness: plant availability, maintenance costs and energy requirements. As a result, the demands made on switched-mode power supplies are high.
Introducing the PCB terminal blocks with Push-in CAGE CLAMP connection and levers, from WAGO. These terminal blocks allow for push-in termination of solid and ferruled conductors, allowing for intuitive and tool-free operation. Several clamping units can be held open simultaneously, simplifying the connection of multi-core cables, and testing can be performed both parallel and perpendicular to conductor entry.
Introducing the ZEN-20 I/O from Omron, a 12 Input and 8 Output relay/transistor in one unit. With the Zen-20 I/O programmable relay unit, you can do a lot of larger scale automation where the 10 I/O versions fall short. The 20 I/O unit is available in three different versions: starting with the C1 with LCD display, control/program buttons, calender and clock, then the C2 with LED status indication, and finally the C3 with the same functionality as the C1 but with a fixed I/O.
The new XTV terminal blocks can accommodate the direct insertion of all conductor types: ferruled, solid, or stranded wires. The XTV series is the first product family to feature Push-X connection technology from Phoenix Contact. Push-X operates similarly to Phoenix Contact’s popular Push-in Technology (PT) but uses a preloaded mousetrap design that keeps the leg spring depressed.
You can’t make the right decisions without the right data. If you’re manually measuring temperature and humidity in your enclosures, you’re constantly working with old data. Rapid changes and extreme environments can cause critical electronic components to fail. You need near real-time data if you want to make decisions quickly and avoid system downtime. The CSS 014 Smart Sensor and STEGO Connect put data at your fingertips remotely, in near real-time.
Increase performance and save space with Weidmuller’s Hydraulic Magnetic miniature circuit breakers. The new universal-voltage HB-SERIES Circuit Breaker from Weidmuller is the latest addition to their Hydraulic Magnetic Circuit Breakers lineup. It features modularity, ease of use, and space-saving well beyond that of conventional circuit breakers.
Ethernet-APL enables a new dimension in field communication: complete asset integration for field devices—regardless of device type, manufacturer and the communication technology, i.e. via Ethernet-APL or Profibus PA. Both technologies can be operated simultaneously on the same network infrastructure. In addition, FDI (Field Device Integration) technology ensures a uniform visualization and operation of field devices.
Positronic MACH-D D-Sub Connectors are made with finely machined shells that provide excellent EMI protection. This EMI shielding protects against electronic disruptions, guarding data loss, and defends against system failure. The MACH-D design and production process eliminates these concerns, allowing the connector to meet or exceed quality and reliability expectations.
LÜTZE’s Compact power supplies are durable DC 24 V power packs with an efficiency level in excess of 92%. Both power supplies stand out thanks to low power loss and low heat generation. The integrated Power-Boost function means that higher peak loads can be bridged briefly. The two power supplies have a wide range input AC 350-575 V and also allow parallel operation with active load balancing.
Installation and maintenance procedures in process plants should be carried out precisely and safely, but at the same time as quickly as possible. Manual searches often prove to be a costly and time-consuming obstacle, for example when the required product documentation is not immediately available or information from different manufacturers is available in different formats.
