New Tutorial: Thermal Considerations of Power Supplies

May 6, 2021

The effect of the efficiency of a power supply on the application is often underestimated. In a short technical tutorial, you will learn why apparently small improvements in efficiency can have an enormous effect on the availability of a system or machine.

Peter Huber, Application Engineer at PULS, guides you through an experimental test set-up of three different DIN rail power supplies inside identical cabinets. All 3 units provide a DC output of 24V, 10A with a power of 240W, but differ in terms of efficiency.

During two test runs Peter analyzes the different behavior of the power supplies and their effect on the ambient temperature. This is the first part of a new tutorial series on technical considerations you should take into account, when choosing the right power supply for your application.

Pepperl+Fuchs: Sensing Through Dust for Material Handling

A customer was using several competitors’ photoelectric sensors in their packaging and material handling system. They were packing raw bulk products such as soil, cement, and dog food into a variety of containers. There is often dust and debris in these environments that settle onto the sensors, even along the long conveyor systems.

The EPLAN Data Standard

 

When control cabinets are being designed in 3D, wire lengths automatically calculated, or mounting panels processed by machines, standardised component data is required. These data are also the foundation for the digital twin, which is becoming increasingly indispensable in the product life cycle. The EPLAN Data Standard defines the type of component data required to automate and simplify processes in (pre)planning, engineering, manufacturing and maintenance.
