Balluff: Powerful Technology for Full Flexibility

PBUS-25-Balluff-ETHERCAT-400.jpg

March 18, 2021

Outstanding performance, low costs, flexible topology and easy handling: these are the advantages of the industrial Ethernet technology, EtherCAT. EtherCAT provides full flexibility: a free topology selection, the possibility of connecting and disconnecting devices and segments during operation, and the performance redundancy of the ring topology.

EtherCAT is suitable for both centralized and decentralized architectures, supports Master/Slave, Master/Master, and Slave/Slave communication. It can also integrate secondary fieldbuses.

By using the existing infrastructure, the factory level is also optimally covered with the EtherCAT Automation Protocol. Preferably with out network blocks.

Features

  •    –   Supports up to 65,535 nodes at a distance of up to 100 m
  •    –   International standard since 2007

Burkert: Type 8640 – Modular Valve Island for Pneumatics

The 8640 valve unit system is designed to solve diverse and complex control problems due to its systematic modular construction and combination of pneumatic and electrical interfaces. By putting together a row of pneumatic modules with different numbers of valves, 2 to 24 valve functionalities may be realized on one valve unit. Electrical connectivity is achieved by either fieldbus interfaces, common connection (parallel connection technique) or multipin interfaces.

ABB: Vital Safety Controller

When several safety devices should control the same output, it is quite common to connect them in series. But to reach PL e, serial connection is not possible and each device should have its own safety relay. Vital offers the capability to exclusively control smaller machine safety systems that would otherwise have required a programmable controller or multiple safety relays. With the Vital safety controller, up to 30 safety devices can be connected in series to one Vital and still reach PL e.
