With IE’s SmartCenter™ platform and line of integrated smart components the digital mine of the future has arrived today.
A “stand-alone” unit to monitor and control the many functions at the belt head, the BC-Pro Conveyor Belt Controller is designed to oversee any area involving the transfer of materials in a mining, tunneling, quarrying or processing operation.
Eaton’s specialized panels were specially designed for the tough pumping installations associated with applications in mining operations and tunnelling projects. The panels are intended for use in non-hazardous, resistance or solidly grounded installations and up to 600 Vac.
The powerful edge device integrates space-saving, fanless machine control directly into harsh production environments.
TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, introduces its Mezalok High-Speed Low-Force (HSLF) XMC connector to support data rate speeds up to 32+ Gb/s for improved signal processing on embedded computing applications.
Washdown environments found in food, beverage, medical, pharmaceutical, and other industries need watertight electrical enclosures that can withstand high-temperature, high-pressure spray of water or chemicals. Hammond Manufacturing and Allied Electronics & Automation are helping companies in these industries select the electrical enclosures that are well-suited for these conditions.
Using an L32 B connector allows users to replace two size 16 B interfaces — saving up to 40% of installation space. This makes it possible to transmit power, signals and data with fewer interfaces and fewer components. It also cuts the time required to assemble interfaces.
Fibox Enclosures expands the ARCA – IEC series accessory options to include corner adjustable depth kits.
Leviton recently announced the launch of its new Powerswitch Safety Disconnect Switch with Inform Technology. The launch includes 30/32 Amp non-metallic safety disconnect switches with industry-exclusive remote monitoring capabilities. Leveraging its award-winning Inform technology, Leviton has developed a version of its Powerswitch Safety Disconnect Switches that includes condition monitoring sensors and communications, providing real-time data to the end-user.
The updated EZ-Array with IO-Link provides a much-anticipated upgrade. This allows for more data availability via process data and enables significantly faster data transfers. The EZ-Array series of measuring light curtains feature closely spaced infrared beams that detect objects as small as 5 mm. Updated IO-Link receiver models with expanded process data options offer the ability to access additional information.
Parker Hannifin, a global supplier of motion and control technologies, has launched the SCPSi pressure sensor with IO-Link functionality to meet customer demand in more and more smart industrial environments. The sensor, which has an optimised, compact design, enables particularly simple and fast commissioning and parameterization thanks to the IO-Link interface.
B&R introduces a new PLC family: X20 Embedded. The PLCs combine high performance and numerous integrated interfaces in a housing only 55 mm wide. That makes them only half the width of comparable devices. With their powerful Intel Atom processors, the new PLCs are also suitable for demanding applications with short cycle times. The compact devices can even control a full-fledged robotics application. Machine builders save both costs and cabinet space.
A new generation of enhanced projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens offer water and fluid resistant operation.
Polycase expands economical HD Series of NEMA rated enclosures with two new sizes.
The new fanless and energy-saving multi-touch panel PC “Eco-Line” has a power consumption of just 10 W, and economical LED backlighting ensure the device’s very low power loss.
