Phoenix Contact: Loop-Powered Temperature Transducers

Phoenix Contact introduces six new universal temperature transducers. These new additions to the MACX MCR family are loop-powered and have two channels. The new modules include two non-Ex and two Ex I versions in two different mounting formats: head-mount and DIN rail-mount. The temperature transmitters support more than 28 different temperature sensors.

 

 

 

Mouser: Amphenol RF BNC to SMA Cable Assemblies

Mouser: Amphenol RF BNC to SMA Cable Assemblies

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 Announces Launch of Breakthrough Single Pair Ethernet Technology

HARTING Americas Announces Launch of Breakthrough Single Pair Ethernet Technology

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.

New Balluff Distance Sensors Combine IO-Link, Voltage, Analog

New Balluff Distance Sensors Combine IO-Link, Voltage, Analog

The newest additions to Balluff’s line of distance sensors feature selectable modes that allow users to choose between IO-Link, voltage (0…10 V or 1…10 V), or analog (4…20 mA) outputs. The two new variations — the BOD002M with a 50 to 100 mm working distance and a resolution down to 10 μm, and the BOD002N with a 50 to 650 mm working distance and a resolution down to 100 μm — combine the output modes of three previous models into one.

 

 

 

Expanded Communications and Analog I/O Capabilities for the BRX PLC

Expanded Communications and Analog I/O Capabilities for the BRX PLC

New expansion I/O modules from AutomationDirect for the BRX stackable micro brick PLC include communications modules, universal analog I/O modules, and universal temperature combination I/O modules. Expansion modules snap onto the side of any BRX Micro PLC Unit (MPU) or BRX Remote I/O controller, creating a sturdy and rugged PLC platform.

 

 

 

Industrial Panel Solutions: Zero Energy Utility-Disconnect Switch

Industrial Panel Solutions: Zero Energy Utility-Disconnect Switch

Easily and safely verify the voltage and de-energize a control panel, MCC, or any piece of downstream equipment directly from our panel. The Zero Energy Utility-disconnect Switch (ZEUS), also known as a safety disconnect switch or isolation panel, isolates incoming power from the main enclosure. It lowers the risk of an arc flash hazard during maintenance of the interior devices.
