Digital Services Save Time in Electrical Design

Behind every electrical engineering project are many individual components and thus a whole collection of data: 2D / 3D CAD data, data sheets, type sheets and certificates are all part of any decent documentation. “Comparatively more time is spent on article research and the collection, conversion and storage of related documents than on the design itself.,” reports Andreas Wedel, Director of Digital Transformation at the HARTING Technology Group.

Digital Control Cabinet “Right on a Desktop”

For their next meeting with an OEM or system integrator, can panel builders simply grab their smartphone and project the digital prototype of a control cabinet onto the desk of the managing director? Or right into the customer’s production facility? This admittedly sounds fantastical – but is already a reality. The new augmented reality (AR) add-on for the EPLAN eVIEW Free cloud software,

Three Key Benefits of the New H7CC Multi-Function Counter

In manufacturing, it’s essential to keep rigorous tabs on how many items you’re producing. Inconsistencies in product count can upend order accuracy and tarnish your relationship with customers. Fortunately, automated counters like Omron’s new H7CC make it easy to stay on track. This 1/16th DIN form factor pre-set multi-function counter offers capabilities for either totalizing or tachometer monitoring, the latter referring to the process of monitoring the cyclic rate of a rotating device.

Allied Electronics & Automation and Moxa Team Up to Help Engineers Overcome Industrial Networking Challenges

Engineers face many obstacles when connecting older equipment to local networks or the cloud as part of modernization and overhaul projects. When these replacements, expansions, and upgrades occur, there are often space constraints for installing products in existing cabinets or machines. With one of the most critical nodes in industrial networking being Ethernet switches, engineers undertaking these projects need reliable industrial networking components.

Littelfuse Launches Interactive Surge Protective Device (SPD) Sizing Selection Guide

Littelfuse, Inc.,, an industrial technology manufacturing company empowering a sustainable, connected, and safer world, recently announced the launch of a surge protective device (SPD) selection guide that sizes SPDs to achieve the best level of protection for a system based on specifications provided. Surge protective devices need to be sized correctly. If they are sized too low, the system could be susceptible to temporary overvoltages as well as cause a decrease in the life expectancy of the SPD.

What Is an IO-Link Absolute Rotary Encoder?

There are rotary encoders and IO-Link products, but what is an IO-Link absolute rotary encoder? It may be best to start with the rotary encoder. The rotary encoder is an electro-mechanical device that converts angular position into a digital signal. The rotary encoder can be incremental or absolute, depending on the need to know the exact position after a power cycle.
