In industrial control cabinet manufacturing, processes still feature a large number of manual steps. Phoenix Contact offers a solution in the form of the WIRE assist assistance system from the ClipX product range, which is designed to optimize processes along the entire value added chain.
The Managed Switches product family from Phoenix Contact now also includes versions in metal housing with downward port outlet direction for use in flat control cabinets. The 2400/2500 series Managed Switches offer a large number of functions, versions, and approvals for automation applications.
At SPS 2019 in Nuremberg, Germany, Phoenix Contact showcased the PSRmodular configurable safety system for applications up to PL e and SIL3. You can use the TBUS DIN rail connector to quickly and flexibly adapt the system to your application.
In July 2019, it was announced that eleven zero-day vulnerabilities were discovered that affect the real-time operating system Wind River VxWorks. It is often not easy or even impossible to update all devices that run VxWorks. This is why Phoenix Contact offers a simple and easy to retrofit solution with the mGuard security routers: the security appliances are easily integrated into the network and protect the VxWorks devices completely from attacks through all critical URGENT/11 vulnerabilities.
Omron Automation Americas, a global leader in end-to-end industrial automation solutions, launched its new V780 UHF RFID slave unit that allows for EtherNet networking with a central V780 unit. Ideal for the automotive industry and others, this easy-to-use, long-range RFID technology facilitates the process of uniquely identifying large objects like car bodies.
Festo’s new SBRD smart camera system delivers exceptional flexibility for the professional user – covering a dozen fields of analysis, tracking and verification for automation and robotics. Yet it’s so simple to set up and operate that even novices can make full use of its extensive capabilities. The result is an extremely cost-effective solution for fast, reliable inspection that can perform a wide range of tasks where using a multi-camera approach is required.
At SPS 2019, Wieland Electric will present the prototype of a new motor starter that adds a new dimension to decentralized automation in terms of size, safety functions and handling. The podisMS 5HP not only presents itself as the smallest decentralized motor starter in its power range, but also as the first decentralized motor starter with IP65 protection and integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) safety function. The drive solution, which can be parameterized without software, is also characterized by simple handling during commissioning, operation and maintenance and features a sophisticated thermal design which, together with electronic low-wear switching, contributes to a long service life – even with frequent switching cycles.
Even in the clearest water, Endress+Hauser’s Turbimax CUS52D smart turbidity sensor and CUA252 flow cell provide continuous, unattended monitoring of drinking and process water quality with laboratory accuracy or better. Its smart calibration tools and optional self-cleaning tools make this sensor a safe, convenient and highly reliable component of a water treatment package.
For the first time ever, users can now make customised adjustments to the housings of series-produced industrial interfaces by using the Han Configurator, the HARTING online tool for designing connectors (at www.harting.com). Cable entries can be modified, letterings can be applied to hoods and housings.
With the new Han Shielded Power Module, users can for the first time make the connection of shielded power cables both modular and mateable. Also new to the Han-Modular portfolio is an M12 solution for mechanical engineering and transportation applications, as well as the Han DD double module. From the latter, space-saving interfaces can be created e.g. in robotics and automation that enable shorter assembly times.
The Han DDD industrial connector is currently the most consistent representation of miniaturisation in the robotics sector. The monoblock expands the benefits of the Han D Series to enable the strongest possible transmission on minimum installation space. The triple “D” stands for maximum contact density.
HARTING Technology Group will use this year’s SPS – Smart Production Solutions expo (November 26-28, 2019 in Nuremberg) to showcase a slew of innovative products and solutions for digital and smart automation. The trade fair appearance will be marked by close cooperation with software developer PerFact (Herford) and the founding of the network for Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). The SPE Network, an alliance of well-known technology leaders, intends to develop future-proof connectivity for industry and IT and to design an SPE Ecosystem.
In addition to solutions in the Han B and Han-Eco B standards, rear-mountable interfaces for trouble-free data transmission will also be available as of Q1 2020 — the Han B/EMC Rear-Fit. Simplified handling speeds up the processing of equipping control cabinets with interfaces and thus offers interesting options to manufacturers of robotics and automation technology.
The industrial sector is using ever smaller machines at the same time as the modularisation of plants and systems continues to progress. What is needed are compact, modular and robust connections for connecting small loads. HARTING is responding to this trend with the Han 1A. The rectangular connector has a whole host of advantages: the connector is suitable for the transmission of data, signals and power, and provides an ideal solution for e.g. control systems, smaller drives and switch cabinet installations.
HART Interface Solutions from Pepperl+Fuchs consist of two HART Multiplexer Systems for multiple signal loops and a HART Loop Converter for single loop applications. The Multiplexer is used to connect HART field devices to Asset Management Systems like AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager from Emerson Process Management. At the heart of HART Interface Solution (HIS), the HART Multiplexer acts like a gateway device, routing communications between the maintenance workstation PC and the HART field devices.
The 7500 series purge and pressurization system is a solution that enables conventional electrical equipment to be used in hazardous areas. Devices that require protection are installed in an enclosure with a pressure that is higher than that of the surrounding hazardous atmosphere.
