TE Connectivity further extends M12 range with right-angle connectors for PCBs and panels

TE Connectivity further extends M12 range with right-angle connectors for PCBs and panels

TE Connectivity is once again expanding its M12 portfolio with A-, B- and D-coded versions of the right-angle connector. The new products come just a few months after TE introduced connectors with eight and 12 pin positions for direct mounting onto PCBs and panels.

 

 

 

STRIDE Field I/O modules for Modbus TCP-capable systems

STRIDE Field I/O modules for Modbus TCP-capable systems

The Stride Field I/O family of modules provides a simple and economical means to connect inputs and outputs to a Modbus TCP communications network. Each module operates as a standalone Modbus TCP server, and can be configured via a built-in web server. Analog input, output and thermocouple modules have fully isolated or isolated-in-pairs channels for noise-sensitive applications.

 

 

 

 

ProductivityOpen Arduino-compatible Controller from AutomationDirect

ProductivityOpen Arduino-compatible Controller from AutomationDirect

The open-source ProductivityOpen platform provides all the great features of a standard Arduino plus the added power and reliability of an industrial controller. The processor circuit of the P1AM-100 Arduino-compatible CPU is designed to mimic the Arduino MKRZero microcontroller. The P1AM-100 is compatible with most available Arduino MKR format shields, and/or the industrially-hardened ProductivityOpen shields, and can utilize most Arduino sketch programs found on open-source websites.

 

 

 

THE NEW ÖLFLEX VFD 1XL – SMALL OD, FLEXIBILITY, AND TC-ER RATING IN ONE CABLE

THE NEW ÖLFLEX VFD 1XL – SMALL OD, FLEXIBILITY, AND TC-ER RATING IN ONE CABLE

The VFD cable market is large and growing. VFD motors drive machines that often operate in harsh industrial environments. To maximize production uptime, connections between motors and drives must utilize robust cables. LAPP VFD cables are engineered to operate in harsh factory conditions using strong resistance to oil, water, impact, and other damaging factors.

 

 

 

B&R Automation: Cost-effective motor/valve control

B&R Automation: Cost-effective motor/valve control

B&R’s new digital output module X20DO4332-1 has integrated pulse width modulation and is a cost-effective alternative to motor modules. In addition, the module offers a dither function that prevents valves from sticking. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is mainly used for controlling larger loads, such as motors. Instead of using electronics to regulate a continuous input voltage down to the desired motor voltage, the motor is controlled by the width of the switching pulses.
