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.
AS-Interface helps you achieve many different types of motor control applications. The advantages of ASi are particularly evident in conveyor applications: reduced wiring, easy installation, high flexibility and low costs. Bihl+Wiedemann is now extending its wide range of drive solutions – with the ASi motor module for Interroll EC5000 AI.
CIT Relay & Switch offers a broadline of IP65 anti-vandal switches. Also known as vandal-resistant or vandal-proof, the electromechanical switches are designed to withstand abuse from nature and/or attempts to damage them.
The Experion® Panel PC allows users to apply Experion human machine interface (HMI) consistently throughout their operations to increase efficiencies and reduce total cost of ownership.
Binder USA, has extended its Series 770 NCC product line with the introduction of a female panel-mount connector. The connector is mounted from the back side of the panel and is IP67-sealed when unmated.
Resistant to moisture and vibration, the CD Series panel mount indicators from VCC perform when conditions are at their worst.
Designed for reset functions and signaling switching, the miniature FP Series from C&K provides PCB real estate space savings and simplifies the assembly process.
Carlo Gavazzi has launched loop detectors for either single or dual loops, available in either plug-in or DIN rail mount housings. The loop detectors are equipped with automatic loop frequency tuning and sensitivity tuning to provide easy installation.
Since its release in 2017, the ix Industrial™ has been used in a variety of industrial markets such as factory automation, robotics and machine vision. By working together with key interconnect technology partners, the ix Industrial connector continues to meet the demands of Industry 4.0 Ethernet connectivity.
