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.
Designed for field installation on most standard one-door Type 12 enclosures. These latch kits will not fit Hoffman disconnect, Concept or ProLine enclosures. Each kit includes a handle, latch, latch rods, adjustable rod guides and all hardware. The latch rods can be adjusted to maintain the proper gasket compression by relocating the pins in the rod guides. When the pin is removed, the latch rod can also be removed.
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.
Understanding the market needs of the US, Fibox has expanded it non-mettalic ARCA–IEC Series to now include a snap-in lockable inner front door and easy-to-mount DIN rail solution kit.
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.
XP Power has developed two new series of wide range input DC-DC converters. Their flexible specification allows devices with incompatible voltages to be easily integrated into industrial systems.
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.
The Battery Simulator 1200 from Bloomy provides isolated channels to simulate battery sink and source characteristics often used for battery management system (BMS) testing, verification, and validation.
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.
ProSense® motor control relays from AutomationDirect perform specific protective functions for motors or motor components to ensure proper and more efficient operation. Intrinsically safe relays provide safe and reliable control of loads within hazardous locations.
In nature, there is a strong relationship between plants and pollinators. Plants depend on Honey bees and other insects to carry pollen from plant to plant. This relationship benefits both the bees that collect pollen and nectar from the flowers, as well as the plants that can reproduce for long lasting survival.
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.
