Stewart Connector, a Bel group company, and world class manufacturer of high-speed connectors used in data communication applications announces the release of the M12 X-Code Field Terminatable Plug, targeting environments where rugged connectors are needed to power and communicate with equipment widely found in today’s manufacturing environments.
The podis power bus system provides decentralized and flexible power distribution for factories, airports and warehouses. With its unique design and connection technology, the podis system is easy, fast, & safe to install and maintain. The new 5-core tray cable system provides higher load capacity to allow for more drives per segment and longer cable sections. Compared to other installations that require long cable lengths, the voltage drop along the bus is significantly reduced.
The ODU AMC® High-Density Chrome-Plated is a miniature connector solution design that provides the highest possible number of contacts in the most compact space.
Wire-to-wire ZE064W Series connector from Hirose Electric combines high vibration and high heat resistance with a space saving design for demanding automotive, agricultural and construction vehicles.
The Ethernet and Serial swiss army knife of industrial gateways that includes: Modbus, PPI, DirectNET, CCM, HostLink, EtherNet/IP, S7comm & DF1 protocols. The all-in-one gateway that bridges communication gaps between devices, Ethernet and/or serial.
Amphenol RF BNC to SMA Cable Assemblies features straight or right-angle BNC plugs to straight or right-angle SMA connectors on RG-58, RG-142, and RG-316 cable. The BNC connectors feature a bayonet coupling style, which allows for quick connect and disconnect while still offering high reliability. The assemblies can be used for both 50Ω and 75Ω impedance applications. The 50Ω assemblies will function up to 4GHz and the 75Ω assemblies will function up to 3GHz. Amphenol RF BNC to SMA Cable Assemblies are ideal for broadcast applications.
HARTING Americas announced their North American launch of their Single Pair Ethernet technologies. The company has been driving the creation of a Single Pair Ethernet standard for the Industrial marketplace since 2015 along with other industrial companies and global standards bodies, such IEC and IEEE. Single Pair Ethernet communicates across the common industrial Ethernet protocols available today (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, EtherCAT, etc.) but instead of using 4 or 8 total wires, it accomplishes communication across just two wires, a single twisted pair.
TE Connectivity (TE) recently announced the launch of its new STRADA Whisper cable receptacles, which can allow engineers to start designing for up to 112G PAM-4 data rates in servers, switches and routers. These cable receptacles incorporate STRADA Whisper connectors on one end and connect to a variety of other high speed solutions on the other, including backplane, mid-board or input/output (I/O) products, bypassing the printed circuit board (PCB) and minimizing insertion loss and crosstalk.
Wiring a control cabinet requires a lot of time and expertise. Up to 43% of the time working on panel building is spent on wiring, depending on the specific application. Control technology often answers questions about the ideal routing of the wires by using the schematics, the basis for the cabinet’s wiring.
Modern, decentralized production facilities require automation solutions that ensure the highest level of connectivity, while providing maximum performance outside of the control cabinet. WAGO developed its I/O System Field with IP67 protection to meet these needs today and tomorrow by being upgradable: “I/O System Field combines speed with ETHERNET-based fieldbuses (e.g., PROFINET), technologies such as OPC UA or Webserver and, in the future, MQTT as a communication protocol, for cloud connectivity,” says WAGO automation expert Ludwig Adelmann.
The Schmersal Group will be showcasing its Safety Fieldbox with PROFINET/PROFIsafe field bus interface at interpack 2020, the new safety solution designed specifically for the packaging industry. With its sometimes complex processing and production systems, the packaging industry has high demands when it comes to safety technology, which must help to facilitate system flexibility, efficiency, availability and connectivity.
Beckhoff enhances offerings of components for explosion protection up to Zone 0. The expansive product portfolio for explosion protection includes nearly the entire range of EtherCAT Terminals and Bus Terminals for the intended use in Zone 2 and 22.
The 4-channel 1769sc-IF4IH module combines real-time HART data acquisition with standard analog acquisition and control. Each channel is easily configured for voltage or current signals. Exploit the power of existing HART field instruments to build the foundation of a powerful control and asset management system.
As manufacturing processes become more integrated, the need for higher bandwidth and faster transmission of data is increasing. Improving production output and efficiency depends on industrial communication to connect the platform to manufacturing operations, and to provide data links within an industrial infrastructure. Industrial Ethernet (IE) cables can provide the data speeds that enable manufacturing networks to run at optimum levels.
binder has announced an M16 X – coded connector capable of handling the data speeds demanded by today’s sensor-based automated production facilities. Data transmission figures are an impressive 10Gbits/s. With the benefits of rugged design and excellent environmental resistance, M16 connectors have become widely used for sensors for both indoor and outdoor use where there is a need for a higher pin count than is offered by M8 and M12 connectors.
