Schmersal electronic safety devices fulfill the highest level of safety of Category 4 / PLe to ISO 13849 and SIL3 to IEC 62061. They feature redundant monitoring microprocessors and dual PNP semiconductor outputs. The different variants of devices can also be wired in series without detriment to the safety level.
Stewart Connector, a Bel group company and world-class manufacturer of high-speed connectors used in data communication applications announces the addition of M12 X-Code Cable Assemblies, supporting Ethernet connectivity up to 10 Gbps, making them ideal for both factory and industrial environments.
It’s now easy to display historical process variable data in a machine’s HMI application. Machine operators can constantly monitor and optimize their processes. A clear overview of machine performance enables early detection of irregularities and helps minimize maintenance costs.
Here’s how the right sensors can cut machine-building costs, improve flexibility and boost customer satisfaction. Sensing technology has a major presence in manufacturing machinery. It provides the foundation for maintaining consistent quality and detecting any lapses in machine performance. If subtle changes in the physical properties of a machine can cause it to fail, then the sensors responsible for detecting those changes can save manufacturers lengthy downtime and repair costs.
You’ve done your risk assessment, and now it’s time to implement a risk reduction strategy using engineering control measures. Since physical barriers can be costly and impractical, many manufacturers opt for what are known as presence sensing devices, a category that includes technologies like safety light curtains, safety laser scanners and safety mats.
With the pushbutton unit PITgatebox you can easily and flexibly control safety gate switches and systems. And there’s another added safety factor thanks to the integration of PITreader – user authentication. This enables user permissions to be checked via RFID key before the gates are operated. That way it’s possible to ensure that the right group of people has access to the plant, based on qualifications and the tasks of the relevant personnel.
Remee Wire & Cable, a high-integrity manufacturer of electronic wire and cable for reliable performance, introduces new Category 6A cables with reduced diameters that meet or exceed all TIA standards.
AutomationDirect now offers native CAD files downloadable directly from their Web store to assist system designers in developing or updating their designs.
PEM® PFC4™ self-clinching captive panel screws from PennEngineering® install permanently into stainless steel enclosures to enable easy access whenever necessary.
Saelig has developed ComfilePi CPi-A150WR – a Raspberry Pi-based industrial PC with a 15” touch-panel display
OKW has further expanded its range of IN-BOX industrial electronic enclosures. The transparent-lid version is now available in polycarbonate (PC) for extra strength and flammability resistance.
B&R is adding new mass memory options for its Automation PC 3100 and Panel PC 3100 industrial PCs. In addition to CFast cards, it is now also possible to use M.2 modules. This type of memory offers fast access and up to 1 TB of storage capacity. M.2 memory modules are very compact and are based on MLC technology. Their high throughput makes them particularly attractive for data logging and other data-intensive applications.
Are you looking for ways to reduce the time it takes to engineer, wire, and assemble your control panel?
The EK1101-0010 coupler connects EtherCAT with the EtherCAT Terminals (ELxxxx). A station consists of an EK1101-0010 coupler, any number of EtherCAT Terminals and a bus end cap. The coupler converts the passing telegrams from Ethernet 100BASE-TX to E-bus signal representation. Using the extended distance connection, distances of up to 300 m can be bridged between two Extended Distance Couplers.
