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.
Industrial automation manufacturer and industrial internet of things (IIoT) developer Opto 22 recently announced groov RIO, a family of intelligent, distributed input/output (I/O) for IIoT and automation applications. groov RIO represents a first-in-class solution for its ability to quickly connect traditional wired switches and sensors directly to Ethernet networks, software applications, and cloud platforms without intermediary control or communication hardware, such as PLCs, PACs, or PCs.
The angle adapter is used if components and bars are installed in difficult-to-access parts of the control cabinet and facilitates the wiring of terminals in the lower and upper area of the cabinet. Thanks to the angle adapter, devices and hat rails can be tilted forward easily and therefore guarantee improved visibility and access to the terminals.
The new bus couplers by LÜTZE not only operate the electronic LCOS load monitoring, but also the LOCC-Box Net components that have been successful for many years. PROFINET-IO, EtherCAT and Ethernet IP are available as compatible bus interfaces. Remote diagnosis via TCP/IP is possible round the clock via a separate Ethernet interface.
AS-Interface helps you achieve many different types of motor control applications. The advantages of ASi are particularly evident in conveyor applications: reduced wiring, easy installation, high flexibility and low costs. Bihl+Wiedemann is now extending its wide range of drive solutions – with the ASi motor module for Interroll EC5000 AI.
Binder USA, has extended its Series 770 NCC product line with the introduction of a female panel-mount connector. The connector is mounted from the back side of the panel and is IP67-sealed when unmated.
