FlexEdge, the ultimate edge device, is designed to provide a scalable solution through field unlockable software, hot-swappable I/O modules, and communication sleds to accommodate changes in application.
Crouse-Hinds series Type 4X Free-Standing and Wall Mount Panel Enclosures protect against corrosion, circulating and windblown dust, falling dirt, dripping non-corrosive liquids, rain, splashing water and hose directed water. These NEMA industrial enclosures are available in a comprehensive range of sizes, each with various configurations for a multitude of applications.
When protecting guards, there are various factors to consider, depending on the application. For example, the type of safety gate, the respective installation situation and how it is used. With this in mind, Pilz is adding two new sensors to its portfolio of safety locking devices – PSENmlock mini for space-critical applications and PSENslock 2 with optimised hygienic design, as well as new versions with stainless steel components.
The new CPUs and Power Modules in the Remote I/O IS1+ system from R. STAHL are now also available for installation in Zone 1. This means that the extensive range of functions offered by the Zone 2 version, such as integrated support for PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET (CC-B), EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and OPC UA, can now also be used in Zone 1.
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, virtualization and the energy transition has heightened the critical need for data center operators to effectively manage technology assets and resource consumption. Recently, intelligent power management company Eaton announced it is helping these operators accelerate digital transformation with its new portfolio of digital solutions designed to further increase uptime, optimize performance and enhance sustainability. The platform, part of Eaton’s Brightlayer Data Centers suite, is the first in the industry to unite asset management, IT and operational technology (OT) device monitoring, power quality metrics and advanced electrical supervision in a single, native application.
In the realm of data centers, the constant challenge is not just about keeping up with the accelerating pace of technology but about anticipating future needs. One such area that calls for constant foresight is power distribution. It’s no longer just about delivering power, it’s about flexibility, scalability, efficiency, and future-proofing your operations. Enter the Panduit G5 Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (iPDU) featuring 4-in-1 outlets – a game-changer designed to revolutionize power distribution in data centers.
Industrial manufacturers can optimize their operations and reach higher levels of efficiency with the latest addition in the Allen‑Bradley ArmorBlock 5000 I/O portfolio, the 16-point configurable blocks. These I/O blocks provide unparalleled configurability and integrated I/O capabilities that help enhance flexibility and precision in automation systems.
EAO has extended the robust Series 82 with a new product variant with vibration-resistant cable connections. It is common to expose pushbuttons and indicators to extremely harsh operating conditions. For example in the food and beverage industry, where alkaline cleaning agents and corrosion severely affect HMIs. In addition, external factors in the form of hard-to-remove dirt, fine dust, along with severe vibrations and blunt impacts also require HMIs to offer a very high level of resistance.
The new LEMUR lite managed switch family offers the most advanced data rates for the price point, up to 11 ports, PoE/PoE+ options, IP30 protection and an extended temperature range of -40°C to +60°C. As automation expands, powerful, ruggedized and cost-effective switches are a necessity. The LEMUR lite managed switch family provides sought-after features –full Gigabit Ethernet and PoE/PoE+ options – for a reasonable price point.
