Moxa Introduces Protocol Gateways to Connect Modbus Devices to PROFINET or PROFIBUS Networks Effortlessly

 

Manufacturers Automation Inc announced that Moxa has launched the world’s first rack-mounted Layer 2/Layer 3 managed switches, PT-G7828/G7728, that comply with IEC 61850-3 Edition 2 Class 2 and IEEE 1613 Class 2. The switches’ 28 ports all support full Gigabit hardware time-stamping as defined in IEEE 1588v2. In addition, the switches offer selectable RJ45/SFP/PoE+ interfaces and dual LV/HV power modules to ensure suitability for a variety of applications.

 

Festo

Festo Piezo Valves Provide High Precision, Low Energy Flow Control Solutions

 

With their many advantages, digitally controlled, high-precision piezo valves like Festo Canada’s new VEAA and VEAB make a strong case to replace conventional solenoid valves in a wide range of industrial applications involving flow and pressure control. Piezo valves use very little energy, generating virtually no heat, which helps qualify them as intrinsically safe for use in volatile or explosive environments.

 

 

Harting

HARTING Moves Surge Protection into its Best-selling Industrial Connector Series

 

HARTING’s new Han-Modular Surge Protection Modules make it possible to move surge protection into its most widely used industrial connector series, a space-saving idea that simplifies wiring arrangements. Proper surge protection for Instrumental and Control (I&C) signals usually requires separate, external solutions that add to material and labour costs.
