Extension cable for both Type K and Type J thermocouples is available with either an overall shield (OS) or with individually shielded pairs with an overall shield (SPOS). These cables allow the connection of multiple field sensors to operating instrumentation or PLC input cards with one run versus having to install multiple extension wires.
The EK9160 Coupler provides direct connectivity for EtherCAT I/Os to the Internet of Things (IoT) without the need for a control program. It converts the E-bus signal representation to different IoT communication protocols and enables in this way the simple and standardised integration of I/O data into cloud-based communication and data services. Neither a controller nor prior programming is necessary. The I/O data transmission can be parameterised in a user-friendly configuration dialog of the integrated web server providing access via any browser.
Amphenol Sine Systems’ ecomate® Aquarius Waterproof Connectors provide an IP67/69K waterproof rating when in a mated condition for industrial applications.
The KDL/D cable entry system allows cables to be installed through enclosures or other bulkhead surfaces, with the added benefit that pre-made, terminated cables can be installed without disassembling the connectors. The split-frame system enables the quick and simple installation of up to 48 cables in a single frame. Four frame sizes, starting at $16.00, fit standard cut-out dimensions and provide integrated strain relief.
L-com introduces new line of 18 GHz, LL142 & LL335i rugged low-loss cables. The smaller diameter of these new 18 GHz coax cables provides a tighter bend radius while offering low loss and higher power when compared to solid dielectric cables.
Molex announces the launch of the Custom Cable Creator, a solution that enables customers to efficiently design custom cable harnesses within one simple online tool. The tool fits almost any application to meet the needs of most major industries, including consumer, home appliance, medical and data computing.
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.
