There are a variety of challenges that manufacturers face when trying to efficiently use traceability technology. Difficult to read direct part marks can hinder the performance of traceability in a production process. The V460 is an advanced barcode reading device that has set a new standard for reading capabilities. It can read all types of barcodes, including these challenging direct part marks and small Barcode labels that have been previously difficult to decode.
Contactors play a crucial role in electrical circuit systems, allowing for effective control and management of electrical power. This blog post delves into the basics of contactors, their applications, and how they operate in electrical circuits. What is a contactor? A contactor is an electrically controlled switching device, designed for repeatedly opening and closing circuits. They are predominantly used in high current-carrying applications, distinguishing them from standard relays that function similarly but in low current scenarios.
How can you integrate a drive configuration into the main circuit Today, the drives can be designed in the TIA Selection Tool according to the application. However, the embedding in a higher-level main current view was missing until now. The latest update now makes this possible. Plan your control cabinet’s electrical system from the top feed to the bottom drive. Other aspects such as controls and other consumers are integrated as usual. In this webinar, experts from Siemens will introduce you to the new functions.
