Energy management means the continuous monitoring, storage and evaluation of energy measurement data, thereby increasing the transparency of energy consumption and energy costs at all measurement levels. Only with a detailed overview of the energy consumers, the use of energy can be designed in a demandoriented and efficient manner and thus, for example, offering optimisation potentials.
The Shielded RJ45 Connector with Crimp Tail for CAT6A Cable (RJ456A-SC) is the latest pass-through connector manufactured by Jonard Tools and it provides a better and stronger connection. These connectors feature a 50uin gold plated contact surface with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and a pass-through design which eliminate the need to measure and cut wires before termination.
LAPP has introduced its ETHERLINE GUARD data monitoring device for data cables. This compact, easy-to-use unit lets users carry out maintenance measures on data cables according to their actual condition and performance — to avoid unexpected failures. Although LAPP ETHERLINE Industrial Ethernet (IE) cables are durable and long-lasting, they are subjected to repeated dynamic movements with high speeds and strong torsion that over time will require maintenance.
The great advantage of the modular operating concept is the connection of several expansion modules via a basic module and the associated saving of costs. Only the basic module includes the bus-specific bus connection and the bus node which communicates with the corresponding bus system. Thus, the basic module is the most complex module of the total package.
