Flexible, bright and reliable, the cutomizable HMIS Multi-Legend Alarm Indicator from EAO is only 8 mm thick for space-constrained applications.
Signal marshalling plays a critical role in connecting instrumentation devices throughout large-scale industrial process plants via distributed control systems (DCS). It enables the reliable transmission of signals from thousands of distributed field devices like sensors, valves, and actuators back to the control room. The long distances and sheer volume of signals in expansive process facilities make it impractical to connect field signals directly to control units or I/O modules. Signal marshalling provides an interface to group and bundle signals, routing them over common transmission paths.
It’s no secret that Grace Technologies’ Permanent Electrical Safety Devices (PESDs) greatly assist with a more productive and safer Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedure. But how and when each device is best suited for each step of the process may require some clarification. For starters, the GracePESDs voltage indicators are best suited for verifying the presence of voltage. This is visually represented by flashing or non-flashing LED lights from the device that is hardwired to the load side of an electrical feeder or disconnect switch.
Bel Power Solutions has recently announced its TET3600-48-069RA and TET3600-48-069NA front-end power supplies. These 3.6kW Titanium efficient AC-DC front-end power supplies are ideal for high performance Data Center, Network, and Industrial applications. Able to convert up to 277 VAC into a main 54.5 VDC, the TET3600 delivers a power density of 44 W/in3 and achieves Titanium efficiency (>97% efficient at 50% load) in a compact package measuring 68 x 40 x 490 mm (2.60 x1.57 x 19.29 in.).
Weidmuller introduces the new W2C and W2T marshaling terminal blocks. Automation in the process industry requires flexible solutions for complex production processes. Your circuit diagrams are complex as well, and may be changed up to the last minute. With Weidmuller’s new range of DCS marshaling terminal blocks you can solve these challenges. Even a “last minute change” is feasible for you without having to change the wiring you have already done.
Anyone who has been following the latest expert discussions on energy efficiency in machines and plants will have noticed that certain topics come up time and time again. The main examples are “variable frequency drives for optimum drive solutions” and “increasing efficiency in lowvoltage induction motors (EISA and NEMA Premium).” Yet low-voltage controls rarely enter into the debate. And that, as this article intends to show, does them an injustice.
This webinar presented by Beth Lessard and Keith Cordero will be highlighting three Panduit solutions that will optimize network equipment and cabling to ensure that your spaces are efficiently and properly managed to support ever-evolving business needs of today and beyond. Products that will be featured include PanZone TrueEdge Wall Mount Enclsoure, Cable Managers, and Adjustable Depth 4-Post Rack.
The Siemens SIMOVAC medium-voltage non-arc-resistant and SIMOVAC-AR arc-resistant controllers have a modular design incorporating up to two 12SVC400 (400 A) controllers, housed in a freestanding sheet steel enclosure. Each controller is UL 347 class E2, equipped with three current-limiting fuses, a non-load-break isolating switch, and a fixed-mounted vacuum contactor (plug-in type optional for 12SVC400). The enclosure is designed for front access, allowing the equipment to be located with the rear of the equipment close to a non-combustible wall.
Power is vital to production, and well-designed control cabinets are key. Allied Electronics & Automation offers a comprehensive collection of control cabinet solutions including PLCs, HMIs, contactors, miniature circuit breakers, terminal block connectors, DIN-rail power supplies, pushbutton switches, motor starters, overloads, power relays, industrial Ethernet switches and AC drives engineered to keep your operations running safely, reliably and efficiently.
