LED illumination and long-life operation make the CW Series low-profile touchless switches ideal for industrial and public applications.
The new contactors are rated 160A, 195A and 230A three-phase for motor control applications, and 250A, 275A and 350A in AC-1 category. They are available in both 3 and 4 pole versions. They replace contactor codes 11B…, of similar ratings which have demonstrated their reliability and robustness over the years. The new size is more compact and efficient, in response to market demand.
Publishing process and status data from sensors to cloud applications in manufacturing plants is one of the key requirements for the IIoT and Industry 4.0 principles. With the official qualification of the ICE2 and ICE3 IO-Link masters as “AWS Partner Devices”, Pepperl+Fuchs is consolidating its position as a provider of IIoT sensors and connectivity, offering users in the AWS ecosystem access to a broad portfolio of sensors for their predictive maintenance and condition monitoring applications.
Some applications require different supply voltages. What previously had to be solved with several switch amplifiers can now be handled by one single device of the new switch amplifier product family from Pepperl+Fuchs. In mechanical engineering or, for example, for field box installations, users often face the problem that the application requires the use of several switch amplifiers with different power supplies.
With the new firmware 3.20, new Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) functions are available for the managed TSN switches from Phoenix Contact. The FL SWITCH TSN 2300 industrial managed switches thus also support the CC-Link IE TSN profile. The CC-Link IE TSN specification combines Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth with the TSN feature set. The switches are Phoenix Contact’s first Ethernet switches for TSN and enable TSN on up to 16 Gigabit ports.
CUI Devices’ Relays Group recently announced its continued product expansion with the addition of a new line of power relays. Ideal for high-level current switching in a range of industrial applications, measurement and control equipment, and safety systems, CUI Devices’ power relays boast impressive lead times and offer max switching currents from 5 A up to 40 A.
The increasing networking of machines, controls and IT systems in industrial plants leads to increasingly complex networks at the production level. To ensure reliable data exchange, high-performance Industrial Ethernet Switches with a high number of ports and data bandwidths are required. To this end, Siemens has now renewed the Industrial Ethernet Switches of its Scalance XC-/XR-300 series and upgraded them with additional functions for next-generation industrial networks.
C&K has recently enhanced the miniature KSC Tireless Endurance (TE) tactile switch series to include a 5.2 mm height version that offers longer travel.
The H series from Schmersal will be showcased at SPS 2022 – Smart Production Solutions – in Nuremberg as a full range of new command and signalling devices for hygiene-sensitive applications, particularly food processing. Characteristic features of the range of command and signalling devices are gap-free transitions between sealing elements and surfaces and an absence of protruding parts.
OMRON has announced new fully sealed, miniature micro switches with a bent lever providing higher operating force and releasing force than straight hinges. The new variants extend the range of compact and flexible solutions for applications exposed to water spray or high levels of dust.
The new IP67 switch from Wieland Electric enables reliable operation even under the most adverse environmental conditions.
The Magic Knob™ capacitive rotary encoder from Panasonic contains mechanical rotation & push functionality that can be placed everywhere on the touch area in order to bridge the gap between touch and mechanical haptics.
The TLF100 Pro tower light delivers 14 customized indication possibilities and unique animations for superior visual and audible indication.
The fieldbus gateway Type ME43 is the central control unit for Bürkert products (valves, sensors, mass flow controllers or displays), which are based on EDIP (“Efficient Device Integration Platform”). The basic version of Type ME43 consists of a fieldbus coupler which transmits the internal CANopen-based communication of the Bürkert field devices to industry standards for industrial Ethernet and fieldbus.
C&K launches IP67-rated waterproof side-actuated tactile switch for a wide range of indoor and outodoor applications.
A small utilityin Seguin, Texas installed a complete monitoring and control system that rivals systems installed at much larger utilities to improve service.
