The updated EZ-Array with IO-Link provides a much-anticipated upgrade. This allows for more data availability via process data and enables significantly faster data transfers. The EZ-Array series of measuring light curtains feature closely spaced infrared beams that detect objects as small as 5 mm. Updated IO-Link receiver models with expanded process data options offer the ability to access additional information.
Parker Hannifin, a global supplier of motion and control technologies, has launched the SCPSi pressure sensor with IO-Link functionality to meet customer demand in more and more smart industrial environments. The sensor, which has an optimised, compact design, enables particularly simple and fast commissioning and parameterization thanks to the IO-Link interface.
B&R introduces a new PLC family: X20 Embedded. The PLCs combine high performance and numerous integrated interfaces in a housing only 55 mm wide. That makes them only half the width of comparable devices. With their powerful Intel Atom processors, the new PLCs are also suitable for demanding applications with short cycle times. The compact devices can even control a full-fledged robotics application. Machine builders save both costs and cabinet space.
A new generation of enhanced projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens offer water and fluid resistant operation.
Polycase expands economical HD Series of NEMA rated enclosures with two new sizes.
The new fanless and energy-saving multi-touch panel PC “Eco-Line” has a power consumption of just 10 W, and economical LED backlighting ensure the device’s very low power loss.
Sterling Systems & Controls, Inc. announces the availability of its new Mill Monitor. Particle size reduction equipment, also known as grinders and classifiers, are used to reduce the particle size of dry solids. These devices are rotating machinery and therefore a bearing condition monitor is advantageous.
