Phoenix Contact is expanding its line of unmanaged switches. With galvanically isolated Power over Ethernet, the new 5-Port and 8-Port switches will deliver and outperform existing current POE switches. The new switches will be easily mountable using DIN-rail mounting and fuctions with both SELV and PELV power supplies.
Siemens recently released its SEM3T™ modular thermal monitoring solution that can identify a compromised joint or loose connection within low voltage electrical distribution systems.
Expansion modules snap onto the side of any BRX Micro PLC Unit (MPU) or BRX Remote I/O controller. Newly added BRX discrete I/O modules include 5, 8, and 16-point relay output modules (starting at $55) with Form A (SPST) and Form C (SPDT) options; 16-point 2-5 VDC discrete input and output modules (starting at $55); a 16-point 2-5 VDC discrete combination input/output module, etc.
Siemens presents the Sitrans CloudConnect 240: a new IOT gateway for the process industry. It provides a second data channel, completely independent of the control system, which is used to transmit data from any HART-based field devices to the IT world. In the process industry, field instrumentation is a central source of data, when it comes to digitalization.
The enhanced crossover Operating System (exOS) makes it possible to use any Linux code within B&R systems. This gives machine builders unprecedented freedom in the design of their automation solutions. Code written in high-level languages like C++, Python and JavaScript can be easily integrated in the machine application.
AutomationDirect has added to its offering of Attabox enclosures and accessories from RobRoy. The Heartland series of polycarbonate enclosures from AttaBox is ideal for applications requiring protection from moisture, corrosive environments, UV exposure or extreme temperatures. The Heartland series carries NEMA 1, 3R, 4, 4X, 6P and 12 ratings, and is available in sizes up to 24 x 24 x 10 inches.
Parker Hannifin, as part of its global focus on factory automation, recently announced the release of a revolutionary network portal, The PCH Network Portal. The PCH Network Portal provides the opportunity to minimize machine costs, shorten start-up time and offers built in features to help reduce end user downtime in factory environments. The PCH Network Portal is a new approach to ethernet communication modules that redefines and revolutionizes machine I/O architecture (inputs and outputs).
Cinch Connectivity Solutions recently introduced its new Midwest Microwave line of space-qualified QPS coaxial attenuators. QPS Attenuators are specifically designed for signal processing and communications applications in satellite payload and ground testing equipment used in both the traditional GEO, as well as the rapidly growing LEO space markets.
Stewart Connector recently announced that it has Fiber Flex cable assembly capabilities, in their Glen Rock, PA facility. This capability supports the company’s growth in commercial applications where complex routing, minimal space, critical airflow is required. Fiber Flex assemblies provide a superior solution compared to individual cabling for fiber routing and management of PCB card level and back-plane applications.
Bel Power Solutions recently announced the ABS400/MBS400 Series of convection cooled power supplies which are sealed and fully potted, offer IP67 ingress protection and fit 1U applications. These power supplies may be mounted for conduction or convection cooling and are rated at 300 W in still air and 400 W with conduction via the optional heat sink.
Bel Power Solutions recently announced the TET1500 Series power supply for servers, routers, network switches and other high availability applications such as storage appliances. This Titanium efficiency 1500 W power supply converts standard AC or high-voltage DC (HVDC) into a main 12 Vdc output for powering intermediate bus architectures in information and communications technology (ICT) equipment.
Customers that want to use large enclosures using purging either didn’t have the option or had an extended wait period for purging. Customers were forced to segment the enclosure into smaller enclosures increasing the size of the system and having to interconnect the enclosure together using Ex methods. This customer needs a system that is not only certified for large enclosures, but can also purge the enclosure faster and keep enclosure pressure low.
With the UC18GS series with IO-Link, Pepperl+Fuchs now presents a series that combines all the features and advantages of advanced ultrasonic technology in a compact housing. The individually-adjustable sound beam width, the extra-small dead band and the integrated interference target suppression allow the sensors to be optimally adapted to a wide range of applications. Users have numerous programming options, such as via push buttons, IO-Link or infrared interface (IrDA).
Rittal North America has recently announced the launch of its new TS IT Pro enclosures. These new cabinets are designed to meet the requirements of today and built with the trends of tomorrow in mind. They are ideal for a range of applications, from large scale deployments ready to roll in place, to high density cooling and cabling solutions.
A wide range of OEMs require high-current, high-density power connectors that also support design flexibility. To meet these needs, the Molex Mini-Fit Family of Power Connects (Mini-Fit Jr., Mini-Fit Plus, Mini-Fit Blind-Mate Interface (BMI) and Mini-Fit TPA2 Connectors) offer polarized housings with isolated terminals, positive locks and low-engagement forces.
Inroducing the WISKA stainless steel cable gland SPRINT ESSKV 12 – 10069000, which provides excellent security in cable management applications, along with excellent IP68 / IP69K ingress protection.
