Rittal: Practical Benefits of Modular Industrial Enclosures

Fan-and-filter cooling units are an effective way to dissipate heat from an enclosure and prevent the intrusion of harmful agents in ambient air. In this white paper, you’ll learn three main subjects.
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) technology is nothing new to automation and control experts today, who are used to implementing the system using modern technology, but it wasn’t always so. Early integrators faced a variety of challenges, most prominent among them the lack of computing power, particularly with mobile equipment (laptops, tablets, smartphones) that weren’t available in the late 80’s and early 90’s.
Chad Alexander is a Branch Manager with Contact Automation, which provides automation integration and control services for the Oil & Gas industry throughout Western Canada and Northwestern United States.
Rittal and ABB have announced a new global level strategic alliance. Based on their proven partnership in the uninterruptible power distribution business, both companies aim to expand their solutions approach for modular, secure and high-availability data center infrastructure.
By Sean Mulherrin, International Solutions Architect, EPLAN – With the highlights of the new Eplan Platform 2024, Eplan continues to make engineering and circuit diagram creation as efficient and convenient as possible for users. We take a look at the most important innovations, where exactly they are in the software and how users can use the optimizations for themselves. In our article, we take a closer look at what makes the new version (even) better than its predecessors from the user’s point of view and why a version change is worthwhile.
FANUC America recently announced the launch of a new e-learning website to educate manufacturers and industry about its CRX collaborative robot.

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.
Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
