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.
The metal housings in the Han EMV and Han HPR series are now also available in versions that enable contact inserts to be mounted from the rear — an option that simplifies the placement of interfaces on switch cabinet walls and increases the installation speed and thus lowers costs in the long term. HARTING has produced other connector types that feature a rear-fit mounting option.
Energy efficiency is a topic that HARTING is concerned with and for which the technology group offers specific solutions: With its Han S, HARTING has developed a series of connectors that enable customers to build energy storage systems on the basis of battery modules. The Han S is also the first HARTING-developed connector specifically designed for front-mounting energy storage systems.
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.
Narrow, single-channel PTCB circuit breakers are now available with approval for Hazardous Locations Class I, Div. 2 Groups A, B, C, D, Temperature Class T4. That means PTCBs can also be used in Ex areas (Division 2) with briefly occurring gases and vapors. The products are tested in accordance with the UL 121201 standard and have the cULus-listed logo. Extending the range of applications has made them extremely versatile.
With the new TRIO POWER power supply with the IP67 degree of protection specially developed for applications in the field, you can ensure high system availability even in extreme ambient conditions. With the robust die-cast aluminum housing, the power supply is waterproof and dustproof, highly resistant to shock and vibrations, and has high electric strength. With fast installation directly at the load, you save on cabling length, reduce line losses, and gain control cabinet space.
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.
Pepperl+Fuchs has now reinforced its position as a supplier of Ex-equipment with the introduction of the SR series. The new stainless steel enclosure series joins the GR series, made of glass fiber-reinforced plastic, in the range of the process automation specialist. The new series tops off a portfolio of highly flexible and cost-effective control and distribution solutions in type of protection Ex e (Increased Safety).
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.
The Nunio KNX M-T push button from Elsner Elektronik is a touch switch that has a monochrome touch display, on which buttons can be displayed in various arrangements.
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.
Schneider Electric recently announced the global launch of the Galaxy VL 200-500 kW (400V/480V) 3-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS), the newest addition to the Galaxy family. Available worldwide, this highly efficient, compact UPS offers up to 99 per cent efficiency in ECOnversion mode for a full return on investment within two years (model dependent) for medium and large data centres and commercial and industrial facilities.
The PrecisionFlex™ Fixed Patch Panels from Sumitomo Electric Lightwave is ideal for data centers and other telecom applications.
The affordable EA uniTFTs Series from Display Visions employ IPS technology with a capacitive touch screen for direct and intuitive interaction.
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.
