Gefran Magnetostrictive Linear Position Transducers from AutomationDirect

AutomationDirect has added Gefran WPG and WPP series magnetostrictive linear position transducers. These transducers work like other linear position sensors by translating a linear position to an electrical signal. However, they are contactless, which provides a longer life because there is no mechanical wear; since they use magnetostrictive technology, they are also immune to electromagnetic interferences.

Application-Based Controller Redundancy (ACR) From WAGO

Crew-free ships – not the romantic notion of a sailor? Initiatives for autonomous ships are driving this development. However, there’s a long way to go in getting engine rooms, which can currently operate for up to 24 hours straight without direct intervention, to a completely autonomous ship that should be able to run for up to six weeks at sea without human intervention.
