The new XTV terminal blocks can accommodate the direct insertion of all conductor types: ferruled, solid, or stranded wires. The XTV series is the first product family to feature Push-X connection technology from Phoenix Contact. Push-X operates similarly to Phoenix Contact’s popular Push-in Technology (PT) but uses a preloaded mousetrap design that keeps the leg spring depressed.
You can’t make the right decisions without the right data. If you’re manually measuring temperature and humidity in your enclosures, you’re constantly working with old data. Rapid changes and extreme environments can cause critical electronic components to fail. You need near real-time data if you want to make decisions quickly and avoid system downtime. The CSS 014 Smart Sensor and STEGO Connect put data at your fingertips remotely, in near real-time.
TTI, Inc. is stocking the Vishay RER Military, High-Reliability, Chassis-Mount Wirewound Resistor. Qualified to MIL-PRF-39009 and up to “R” level failure rate, the aluminum-housed (ERH) standard or the non-inductive (ENH) winding/molded construction gives complete environmental protection. The RER, high-reliability resistor mounts on chassis for high stability at conventional power ratings.
Increase performance and save space with Weidmuller’s Hydraulic Magnetic miniature circuit breakers. The new universal-voltage HB-SERIES Circuit Breaker from Weidmuller is the latest addition to their Hydraulic Magnetic Circuit Breakers lineup. It features modularity, ease of use, and space-saving well beyond that of conventional circuit breakers.
Ethernet-APL enables a new dimension in field communication: complete asset integration for field devices—regardless of device type, manufacturer and the communication technology, i.e. via Ethernet-APL or Profibus PA. Both technologies can be operated simultaneously on the same network infrastructure. In addition, FDI (Field Device Integration) technology ensures a uniform visualization and operation of field devices.
The new Allen-Bradley 42EA RightSight S18 and 42JA VisiSight M20A photoelectric sensors are economical and easy-to-apply sensing solutions that offer a wide range of sensing modes, mounting options and unique features, making them optimal solutions for global operations. All models have a visible red-light source to ease alignment, while multiple connection options and adjustment knobs for light or dark operation help ease installation, setup and maintenance.
Positronic MACH-D D-Sub Connectors are made with finely machined shells that provide excellent EMI protection. This EMI shielding protects against electronic disruptions, guarding data loss, and defends against system failure. The MACH-D design and production process eliminates these concerns, allowing the connector to meet or exceed quality and reliability expectations.
LÜTZE’s Compact power supplies are durable DC 24 V power packs with an efficiency level in excess of 92%. Both power supplies stand out thanks to low power loss and low heat generation. The integrated Power-Boost function means that higher peak loads can be bridged briefly. The two power supplies have a wide range input AC 350-575 V and also allow parallel operation with active load balancing.
Installation and maintenance procedures in process plants should be carried out precisely and safely, but at the same time as quickly as possible. Manual searches often prove to be a costly and time-consuming obstacle, for example when the required product documentation is not immediately available or information from different manufacturers is available in different formats.
Emerson is offering a low-cost upgrade for electrical heat tracing systems with its Nelson AXPC100-CM-GP and CM-GP microprocessor-based digital controllers that are engineered to accurately control, monitor and maintain the process temperatures of industrial pipes or tanks in ordinary (non-hazardous) locations. Ideal for replacing aging electro-mechanical thermostats, the controllers achieve cost savings by eliminating the need for several components.
B&R’s ACOPOS P3 servo drive can be used in machines regardless of where they are deployed. Machine builders save the cost of building different variants of a machine for each country, because the ACOPOS P3 is compatible with all common power supply systems worldwide. B&R’s ACOPOS P3 servo drive now supports TN-S and TN-C-S systems with a grounded outer conductor as well as TT and IT systems with a grounded outer conductor.
Allied Electronics & Automation offers around 50,000 ready-to-ship material handling & packaging solutions from trusted suppliers including Bosch Rexroth Linear Motion Technology, Goodyear Belts and Toshiba Motors & Drives. Material handling & packaging solutions are used to move, manipulate, protect, store, pack and ship goods spanning raw materials to finished products.
binder presents its program for 7/8” connection technology. Designed as 3-, 4- or 5-pin variants, connectors with screw clamp termination as well as pre-assembled cable connectors with straight or angled cable outlet are available. The products equipped with reliable screw locking meet the conditions of protection degree IP67 – the overmolded cables even IP68 – and have UL certification for use on the North-American continent.
Rockwell Automation has incorporated two more PowerFlex variable frequency drives (VFDs) into CENTERLINE 2500 low-voltage motor control centers (MCCs) to help industrial operators in global IEC markets improve their production, safety and energy performance. The PowerFlex 755TL and 755TR drives with TotalFORCE technology can be integrated into CENTERLINE MCCs.
AutomationDirect has added new phase and voltage monitoring relays from ProSense. The PMRU-2C series true RMS phase monitor relays protect 3-phase equipment from damage that can occur when there is a phase loss, phase reversal, phase unbalance, undervoltage, or overvoltage condition. These relays are designed to provide protection for most generator systems and applications that use non-sinusoidal waveforms.
The cost of contamination can add up, averaging between $10-30 million in direct costs of a recall, plus lost sales, customer confidence and more. In facilities where bacteria reduction and detectability are critical, a standard cable tie may go unidentified in product and its notched design can be a home for microorganisms. ABB has expanded its line of Ty-Rap cable ties with Ty-Rap TyGenic cable ties, the industry’s first two-piece antimicrobial and detectable cable tie.
