Enabling wireless access to a machine or system, the new Wireless Access Point (758-919) supports WLAN (IEEE802.11a/b/g/d/n/r), Bluetooth® or Bluetooth® Low Energy in different operating modes
AutomationDirect has added Schmersal two-hand control panels to its lineup of safety products. Two-hand control systems are used with a special control monitoring relay and require an operator to use both hands simultaneously when initiating a hazardous operation. This forces an operator to keep their hands on the two-hand control actuator and out of an unsafe spot when a system is performing a hazardous operation.
New counterbalance support hinges from Southco reduces overall cost of lifting and positioning heavy panels and lids.
The EJ1254 digital input module acquires the fast binary 24 V control signals from the process level and transmits them, in an electrically isolated form, to the controller. The EtherCAT plug-in module has four channels that indicate their signal state via light emitting diodes. The signals are furnished with a time stamp that identifies the time of the last edge change with a resolution of 1 ns.
From material handling to logistics—in almost every industrial application, numerous push button boxes are used to control and secure processes. To expand the extensive AS-Interface system world, Pepperl+Fuchs has developed three new push button boxes for easy integration into existing AS-Interface networks: a push button box with an emergency stop button, a box with two push buttons, one in red and one in green, and a mixed box with one emergency stop and two standard buttons.
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched the new Sentron 3NA COM LV HRC fuse link with integrated communication and measurement functionality. The compact device is designed for low-voltage grids up to 400 volts and can be used in secondary substations and industrial plants. The LV HRC fuse link protects grids and plants against short circuits and overloads and is capable of measuring current.
Arribatec teams with Holo Industries to offer safe and germ-free contactless check-in. The Holographic Touch delivers contactless interaction where users can not only see a holograph, but they can safely touch, pinch, scroll, and spin any image effortlessly in mid-air.
Siemens is presenting Sitrans SCM IQ, a new Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution for Smart Condition Monitoring, at the Hannover Messe 2021. It enables potential incidents to be detected and prevented at an early stage, thus reducing maintenance costs and downtimes, and increasing plant performance by up to ten percent. The wireless, robust Sitrans MS200 multisensors form the hardware basis for installation on machinery.
Machine operators can now pass control of their machine seamlessly between the main HMI and their mobile devices. A new feature of B&R’s mapp View HMI solution ensures that the controls and information they need are always at their fingertips, so they can move freely around the plant floor as they continue working. “Until now, HMI terminals have restricted machine operators to working within a certain radius,” explains B&R software expert Manuel Sánchez.
AutomationDirect has added Schmersal IEC limit switches to its lineup. These limit switches are available in a 30mm or 40mm body width and are offered in zinc alloy, aluminum or glass-fiber thermoplastic enclosures. The actuator heads’ selection includes plunger, plunger with roller, one-way lever with roller, lever with roller, adjustable lever with roller, and adjustable rod.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation have recently announced that it has developed the TDLS8200 probe type tunable diode laser spectrometer and will release it for sale on May 6 as part of its OpreX™ Analyzer family. While featuring the same low installation cost, high measurement stability, and high reliability of the preceding TDLS8100, the TDLS8200 will be able to simultaneously measure oxygen, carbon monoxide, and methane gas concentrations directly and at high speed.
Industry knowledge and experience in industrial circular connectors are both recognized hallmarks of binder. The company operates in many fields of application thanks to its comprehensive range of products the latest of which is a molded M8 circular connector. Part of the 718 Series, the new connector provides high reliability under advanced requirements – even for customized specifications – with a new type of shielding concept.
Siemens circuit protection devices are engineered to allow for easy deployment, quick installation and secure protection of industrial devices from excessive current flow. Siemens low voltage circuit protection devices such as, miniature circuit breakers, supplementary protectors and fuse holders, range in performance and style to meet wide-ranging needs.
Introducing the 125-1300W fan heater with built-in thermostat (-18 C to +38 C) (0 F to +100 F), designed to prevent condensation or maintain minimum temperature in enclosures. This fan heater features a Fan Auto/On switch with pilot light for Heat On indication, high temperature safety protection, and an aluminum alloy outer casing, and has a connection via terminal block.
Floyd Bell’s ground-breaking new Twin Turbo Lighted Alarm is a small (approx. 1″x1″) panel-mount piezoelectric audio alert that emits a daylight-viewable bright light when activated, effectively combining Floyd Bell’s popular Turbo series Alarms with Turbo Light Series Panel Indicators into one convenient multi-sensory alarm device. Available in 7 different tone types, the sound output measures up to an impressive 103dB at 2 feet.
The FPBB RAIL filter from SCHURTER is an extraordinarily slim double-stage, single-phase filter, measuring only 25 mm in width. The attractive space-saving design integrates an optional fuseholder or circuit breaker. Additionally, an overvoltage varistor is available in all three variations. FPBB RAIL: three functions in one ultra-slim housing. Space can be a scarce commodity on a panel, particularly panel designs in control cabinets for industrial machinery.
