Digital SCR power controllers can calculate resistance and provide precise power control and can allow help in optimizing production costs. Predictive maintenance is achieved by knowing when an element has reached its useful life. Intelligent power control has embedded algorithms with Teach functions to calculate data and predict what is likely to happen next in the life of a heating element.

At the Hannover Messe (Hall 9 / Booth D26), B&R will be the first to present an automation portfolio that speaks OPC UA over TSN. And with that, the vision of interface free communication from the sensor to the cloud is now a reality. The open standard means OEMs are no longer locked in to a specific vendor and enjoy greater freedom in the design of their machines. Another exhibition highlight will be B&R’s full integration of robotics in the machine control system.
Power management company Eaton has launched its MTL SUM5 smart universal marshalling solution for process applications capable of reducing distributed control system (DCS) marshalling cabinet requirements by up to 50%. With six patents pending, MTL SUM5 combines five functions in one modular design enabling one standard cabinet to deliver the lowest lifetime costs and lowest installed cost while saving valuable space in a control room.
B&R is among the first manufacturers to introduce controllers with OPC UA over TSN communication technology and Intel Apollo Lake I processors. The new X20 controllers are distinguished by significantly higher performance, additional RAM and integrated onboard flash memory.
Allen-Bradley’s CENTERLINE 2500 IEC Low Voltage motor control centers (MCCs) are designed to meet global application requirements. By combining a smaller footprint and comprehensive type testing, the CENTERLINE 2500 MCCs help meet the needs of customers. Our MCCs also help meet the global demand for factory-ready, space-, energy-, and cost-efficient motor control solutions.
Multi-touch panels open up new dimensions for innovative HMI design. There are numerous gestures that might be used in an application: zooming in and out and rotating objects with two fingers, scrolling through lists and switching to the next screen with a quick swipe. The main advantage of multi-touch technology is how it makes operation more intuitive.
