Schneider Electric has revealed the newest generation of its intelligent enclosures for EcoStruxure™ Triconex® safety and EcoStruxure Foxboro® distributed control systems.
B&R is among the first manufacturers to introduce controllers with OPC UA over TSN communication technology and Intel Apollo Lake I processors. The new X20 controllers are distinguished by significantly higher performance, additional RAM and integrated onboard flash memory.
Littelfuse, Inc., has expanded their line of POWR-SPEED PSR series high-speed fuses by adding 275 new bolted and DIN mounting options in various sizes and amperages to meet global market needs. These PSR series fuses are used in power conversion and power conditioning equipment to provide overcurrent protection for critical power semiconductor devices such as diodes, triacs, IGBTs (insulated-gate bipolar transistors), SCRs (silicon controlled rectifiers), and MOSFETs (metal–oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors).
With the drive toward connected machines and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), more automation than ever is being connected via Ethernet. In industries from automotive to metalworking to food and beverage, Ethernet has become the data connection of choice. While wireless networks work well in office environments, a hardwired connection is still preferred for many applications in manufacturing to ensure connectivity and data availability.
Harting’s Han 1A offers a compact, robust and universally deployable rectangular connector system for transmission in all lifelines of Industry 4.0 (data, power,
signals). Smaller drives are becoming more common and require smaller interfaces. This new connector series reflects the trend with space optimized housings and inserts. The Han 1 A is 30% smaller than the Han 3 A, which was previously the smallest offering in the Han Industrial connector series.
Control cabinets are undergoing a transformation, because the requirements on them are constantly increasing – both quantitative and qualitative requirements. Greater networking, rising energy costs and increasing customization require compactness, economy, speed and flexibility in control cabinets.
Phoenix Contact introduces CONTACTRON pro, a hybrid motor starter that simplifies wiring and safety integration. The CONTACTRON pro has a T-bus backplane system that rapidly distributes 24 V power, bridges the e-stop enable signal, and adds auxiliary contact modules.
AutomationDirect has developed a heavy duty power cable that can be cut-to-length to meet application requirements. Suitable for use in both wet and dry environments, the DLO Heavy Duty Cable is extremely flexible with a tight bend radius that allows easy installations in tight spaces.
Mitsubishi Electric has developed a 12.1-inch wide extended graphics array (WXGA) color TFT-LCD Module designed for use in harsh outdoor environments. The high-resolution (WXGA) screen featues a super-wide viewing angle of 176 degrees and is capable of handling dense text and images.
Watlow’s WATCONNECT® SERIES C1 Control Panels incorporate high-quality thermal components in a small and simple package. The SERIES C1 is a single-phase, non-hazardous location control panel that can be quickly configured for one or two loops.
Offering EMI/RFI shielding from the RF range through the microwave Ka Band, the Ka Shield™ equipment rack enclosure from Equipto Electronics protects communications and data up to 40GHz. With shielding effectiveness of over 75 dB at 40 GHz, the enclosure has been designed to protect the most sensitive equipment from any signal intrusions or leakage.
Altech has introduced a spring clamp terminal block it claims is the industry’s most compact. The CX Series is not only compact, but easy to use and install, saving the user time and space in a panel. As a result, the CX Series is a cost-saving alternative to other screw or spring clamp blocks n the market.
Littelfuse has deveoped a compact, current-limiting fuse that rapidly opens to eliminate fault currents, making it ideal for circuit board designs with a small footprint. An expansion to the TLS family, the fuse is now available with a bolt-in mounting configuration to simplify installation.
nVent Electric has launched a program that helps ensure customers in the United States quckly get the solutions they need when their business demands. Customers can expect faster access to high-demand products like Concept, Watershed, Proline G2 packages, Syspend 281-Max HMI system, NEMA-12 Lay-In wireway, SpectraCool air conditioners and more.
TE Connectivity (TE), now offers EN50155 Managed Ethernet switches that enable secure and reliable Gigabit-speed networks in harsh network environments on railway rolling stock – even where vibration levels are extreme.
Measurement Specialties Inc., a subsidiary of TE Connectivity Ltd. (NYSE: TEL), a global industrial technology company with leading positions in connectivity and sensing solutions, completed the previously announced acquisition of Silicon Microstructures Inc. from Elmos Semiconductor AG (XTRA: ELG) on Sept. 30.
