The railway station and signal boxes are where all the threads converge: the process must run smoothly so that trains and passengers arrive at their destination safely and on time. To guarantee this, the Swiss railway pioneer Intelis IED worked with Pilz to develop a module for the safe implementation of shunting operations, based on the automation system PSS 4000-R.
The HD1 range of inverters are high-performance, open loop vector control inverters specifically designed for controlling asynchronous AC induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors. Utilising the most advanced sensorless vector control technology, the HD1 range offers unparalleled reliability, environmental adaptability, high precision and stable performance.
FLIR Systems, Inc. recently announced the FLIR VP50-2 Non-Contact Voltage Detector and Flashlight with three alarm types for safer, easier field-troubleshooting and verification of electrical installations. The VP50-2 is designed for professionals who service electrical equipment in residential, commercial, and industrial facilities to reliably check whether an AC circuit is live before beginning work; detect voltage on exposed conducting parts or through insulation; identify live wires within electrical panels, switches, and outlets; and trace live wires and map circuits.
The world is becoming more and more digital. Technical infrastructure and plants getting increasingly complex and sensitive. Due to the increasing connections and interactions of components and systems, the protection of individual areas is becoming of decisive importance. And surge protection plays a more important role than ever before.
The new handy THERMOMARK GO thermal transfer printer from Phoenix Contact allows you to create markings flexibly, anywhere, and at any time. In combination with the MARKING system app, you can use the label printer to create industrial identification labels directly on-site. You can design markings easily in the app on a smart device. You can also operate all of the printer functions from there.
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is expanding its portfolio of environmentally friendly, gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) to 24 kilovolts (kV) with a new fluorine gas-free NXPLUS C 24 medium-voltage switchgear. The use of Clean Air – a natural insulation medium – in combination with proven vacuum switching technology eliminates the need for any fluorine-based gas mixtures (F-gases), enabling climate-neutral energy distribution. The switchgear is equipped with digital features allowing for safe, reliable and cost-efficient operation.
The new ProposalWorks Standards Builder from Rockwell Automation is an application designed to assist end users with generating, customizing and maintaining their control standards. Engineers can document project standards, track revisions and more to help establish consistency from project design through procurement and commissioning.
Food and beverage product contamination can happen in a couple of ways. Organisms in the product itself can be spread by equipment that hasn’t been cleaned properly, while employees can also transfer germs to product. For this reason, it’s essential for processing to occur in a washdown environment.
Balluff’s new condition monitoring sensor can measure vibration, temperature, relative humidity, and ambient pressure. The feature-rich sensor collects and processes these readings and outputs digital statistical data to a host system via IO-Link.
Hammond Power Solutions Inc. (HPS), North America’s leading manufacturer of dry-type transformers and magnetics, has announced the availability of a line extension of three phase general purpose and k-rated transformers for solar applications – HPS SentinelTM Solar Duty.

The new multifunctional MACX-TR timer relays from Phoenix Contact now make simple time control applications smart. The combination of pushbuttons and innovative LED display allows easy operation directly at the device.
The PTFIX product family from Phoenix Contact has now been extended to include a nominal cross section of 10 mm². The distribution blocks with tool-free Push-in connection are freely configurable and can be used immediately. Simply unpack, connect, and you’re done.
For the very first time, manual deburring processes can be automated with the robot deburring tool CDB from SCHUNK, without having to forgo the proven deburring blades. The adjustable-flexibility deburring tool is suitable for robot-assisted deburring of workpieces made of plastic, aluminum, steel, brass, and other materials in a wide variety of geometries.
At the show, an M-710iC/45M robot used the 3DV/1600 vision sensor to quickly find and snap boxes of varying sizes and shapes in a large bin. The robot picked each package and dropped it into another bin. Once a bin was emptied, the sensor moved to the full bin and the cycle repeated.
Industrial producers can now improve their network resiliency by using primary and backup adapters for the 1756-EN4TR ControlLogix EtherNet/IP communications module. This new redundant-adapter functionality is provided through a recent firmware update to the communication module.
