This new system is ideally suited for applications in the chemical, petrochemical, and oil and gas industries.
The new hybrid panelboard is the first to bring hybrid power and data capabilities into industries that operate in highly explosive environments requiring IECEx and ATEX certifications. This includes the oil and gas, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. Combined with a National Electrical Code (NEC) certified version of the panel, today’s launch of the Appleton PlexPower IEC Fiber Panel makes this product line the first simplified and global solution for power and data distribution throughout hazardous locations for manufacturers.
The new B&R X20CP3687X controller combines the performance of an industrial PC with the compact design of the X20 controller series. With powerful processing, additional RAM and integrated onboard flash memory, the high-performance controller can handle complex control algorithms or even robotics applications that previously would have called for an industrial PC.
The new SIMATIC Drive Controller saves space by combining a controller with motion control and a drive control in a single device. Integrated technology I/Os and powerful communication interfaces make sophisticated machine designs possible. The SIMATIC Drive Controller brings together what sophisticated machine designs need: Motion control functions of the Technolgy CPU with a versatile drive system – all in a single compact controller.
TE Connectivity has introduced its new zSFP+ stacked belly-to-belly connectors that are designed to support data rates at both 28G NRZ and 56 Gbps PAM-4. The upright latching feature for zSFP+ stacked belly-to-belly connectors is a key capability that can accommodate four row belly-to-belly applications to enable higher faceplate density and maximize printed circuit board (PCB) space usage for hyperscale data centers and networking switch applications.

L-com has expanded its offering of wall mount cabinets and wall mount racks for LAN, MDF/IDF, data center and IT connectivity applications. The new wall mount cabinets and wall mount racks feature cold rolled steel construction, a powder coat black matte finish, and are designed to address cable and equipment storage and management.
Siemens has introduced the Reyrolle 5 Series of protection relays to expand its product offering for medium-voltage and industrial power networks. Thanks to its withdrawable design, the Reyrolle 5 Series protection relay can be easily replaced without disturbing the switchgear connections. This reduces downtimes to a minimum and enables reliable and efficient lifecycle management.
Pepperl+Fuchs has launched a rugged LC20 loop detector that features a diagnostic tool and intuitive app. The new LC20 loop detector, combined with the induction loops installed in the ground, detects various vehicle combinations and quickly diagnoses and visualizes the data via a user-friendly app.
Pepperl+Fuchs has expanded its ultrasonic sensor family with a new, more modular model for increased design flexibility. The UCC*-50GK ultrasonic sensor simplifies integration, and can even be integrated into an application without a PLC and transfer data directly to the IoT cloud.
Grace Engineered Products displayed its Safe-Test PointTM Permanent Electrical Safety Device (PESD) at the 2019 Rockwell Automation Fair. The Safe-Test Point high impedance protected device is designed with metered test points to allow for safe voltage measurement from outside the panel by inserting properly rated instrument probes into the device measuring phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground.
