With the free, PC-based Festo Automation Suite commissioning software, getting a new drive package up and running couldn’t be simpler and faster. Only five easy steps are needed to parameterize and configure all parts of an installation, from the mechanical system to the controller using the Automation Suite’s commissioning wizard. It’s all very intuitive.
The new CU81xx uninterruptible power supply (UPS) series is designed for universal use in the field. With flexible and cost-saving connection options including One Cable Technology (OCT) for uninterruptible power supply (UPS-OCT), the CU81xx series is suitable for a broad range of applications.
Acknowledging the ix Industrial connector, the HARTING Technology Group has been awarded this year’s “Innovative Product Award“ in China. The coveted award was bestowed by the “MM modern manufacturing “publication, the counterpart to the specialist magazine “MM Maschinenmarkt “– which both belong to the German Vogel Communications Group, headquartered in Würzburg.
The new compact LED light kits from Hammond have you covered.
Balluff’s newest laser light array provides a compact solution for precisely identifying the size and location of objects. The BLA0007 can measure the size of up to six objects in its 16 mm light field, enabling them to operate several work modes at once.
AutomationDirect now offers continuous flexing control cables and continuous flexing Profibus-DP cables that are designed to be exposed to constant flexing during operation and to withstand millions of flex cycles. These cables are available cut-to-length in one-foot increments with a 20-foot minimum length.
PID loop control capability (up to 8 loops simultaneously) has been added to the CLICK® Series of stackable, Ethernet-capable micro brick PLCs.
Adapted to edition 2 of EN 61511, a fundamentally reworked version of VDI/VDE 2180 has been released recently. Part 3 provides new formulas for PFD calculation, which take into account a three-step test concept according to NAMUR worksheet NA 106 with incomplete tests and are suited for diverse structures.
Emerson recently announced the expansion of the Greenlee carbide-tipped hole cutter. This innovative design features a split point cobalt steel pilot drill which aids in accurately placing the hole, and the stepped nature of the pilot drill helps prevent over-drilling while protecting cutter teeth. Tungsten carbide teeth make for easy cutting while providing maximum life in stainless steel and producing round, burr-free holes.
AttaBox NewSentry series thermoplastic PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) junction boxes are extremely rugged and light enclosures for harsh, aggressive environments and are well-suited for extremely wet and corrosive environments. Uses vary from high-end electronics to extreme corrosive applications both indoors and out, and their small footprint allows use in tight spaces.
The wind industry is streamlining its global manufacturing and installation processes to boost efficiency: costs are set to be further reduced as systems grow ever larger. The industry is relying on technical optimisation along the value chain and over the full lifetime of installations as a way to keep investment and operating costs as low as possible and maximise profitability. HARTING will be showcasing new products and solutions at the HUSUM Wind trade fair (September 10-13, 2019) that support this trend towards cost reduction.
Non-contact EchoPod and EchoTouch reflective ultrasonic liquid level sensors feature Flowline’s proprietary Reflective Technology that delivers reliable level measurement in condensing environments.
POSITAL’s new multiturn Hollow Shaft kit encoders mark a significant innovation for industrial motion control.
Continuous data flow ensures transparency in the product development process and allows interdisciplinary cooperation. Having current schematic documents on hand therefore has the highest priority. With the EPLAN ERP/PDM Integration Suite, EPLAN provides optimum integration into existing ERP, PDM and PLM system landscapes.
Inductive proximity sensors are the preferred choice for the majority of applications requiring accurate, non-contact detection of metallic objects in machinery or automation equipment. Pepperl+Fuchs offers innovative, high quality inductive sensors to meet the needs of the worldwide automation and process control markets.
The bus controller makes it possible to connect X2X Link I/O nodes to POWERLINK. It is also possible to operate the X2X Link cycle synchronously 1:1 or synchronous to POWERLINK using a prescaler.
