NOARK: B1N Miniature Circuit Breaker
These branch circuit breakers are available in two terminal configurations: standard box terminals that accept multiple conductors and ring-tongue terminals. All breakers mount on standard 35 mm DIN rail. Bus connectors and feeder terminal facilitate mounting and wiring of multiple miniature circuit breaker arrays in control panel assemblies. Breakers can also be reverse fed.

LOVATO Electric: Type F certification for SM1R… motor protection circuit breaker
LOVATO Electric obtained UL508 Type F Combination Motor Controller certification for SM1R… motor protection circuit breaker combined with BG and BF contactors. A Combination Motor Controller is a motor starter, typically used in the North America market.

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.

Cimon: PLC-SB
CIMON-PLC is an industrial control device based on international standards of IEC61131. It is designed for a plant site that requires industry-leading reliability. CIMON-PLC is optimized for Industry 4.0 and enhances the intelligence of industrial sites.

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.

Explosion Proof Battery Charger From APS
Designed to operate in hazardous environments, the BC-6964 Battery Charger from Applied Power Systems provides seamless transition from a voltage source to current limit operation for optimum battery charging.

Phoenix Contact: Safety controller for the open PLCnext Technology ecosystem
The Phoenix PLCnext Control RFC 4072S controller is the first high-performance controller for the PLCnext Technology ecosystem. It can be used to leverage all the advantages of the control platform: programming in your favourite programming language and programming environment, using open source software, apps, Proficloud and soon, the real-time version of the PLCnext store.

Yokogawa Test & Measurement Releases AQ6377 Optical Spectrum Analyzer
Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation announces that it has developed the AQ6377 optical spectrum analyzer and will release it on January 16. The AQ6377 is a benchtop analyzer that employs the dispersive spectroscopy technique to measure the optical spectra of laser light in the 1.9–5.5 μm wavelength range with high accuracy, wide dynamic range, and high resolution. The support of measurements in the 5-μm band is an industry first for instruments of this type.

Rockwell Automation: New Motor Protection Circuit Breakers Offer Space, Time and Cost Savings
Engineers can use the new Allen-Bradley 140MP Motor Protection Circuit Breakers from Rockwell Automation to simplify motor protection. The circuit breakers, also known as motor-protective switching devices, can be mounted on Allen-Bradley 100-C or 100-K contactors to create a two-component motor starter.
