Festo is addressing the desire of machine designers for more compact control cabinet solutions to house key electrical and pneumatic control and monitoring systems in order to minimize project footprints. Festo’s compact VTUG plug-in valve terminal and CPX-E master/modular control system now can be ordered as a package.
With its compact size and flexible configuration possibilities, Festo’s new high performance CPX-E modular control system provides engineers and machine builders with a powerful yet economical option for automation systems’ I/O and motion control.
Industry-leading industrial automation solutions provider Omron Automation Americas recently announced the release of its latest NX1 series machine automation controller. This compact device builds upon previous iterations by integrating machine control with information utilization, quality management and safety.
Phoenix Contact’s new VAL-US surge protection is Listed to UL 1449 and is available with up to 80 kA surge capacity. This line was developed specifically to conform to North American-centric voltage values and includes a wide variety of U.S.-based circuit configurations.
Balluff’s industry-leading IO-Link master portfolio gets a power boost with enhanced built-in web server functionality that makes it simple to integrate IO-Link devices. The feature-rich web server not only supports IP address configuration and network monitoring but has the ability to configure, parameterize and monitor IO-Link devices…
Phoenix Contact is expanding the limits of safety and availability! QUINT POWER now provides IEC 61508 SIL-certified power supply solutions to fulfill critical safety requirements. The strict safety requirements of these solutions are associated with a low probability that a system will fail to preform properly.
Balluff’s newest ceramic caps extend sensor life and minimize downtime by providing a layer of needed protection to the face of sensors in harsh conditions. The caps, which can be added easily before or after installation, protect flush mount sensors from high temperatures, weld spatter, abrasives, and impact.
The PLC interface program from Phoenix Contact for relay modules now also includes modules with lockable manual operation in a 14 mm overall width. They are particularly suitable for efficient and time-saving maintenance as well as easy commissioning.
A new family of safety light curtains with IO-Link connectivity is now available for increased safety with easy installation. These devices can be easily and inexpensively connected directly to the Balluff Safety Over IO-Link module, allowing integrators to implement a complete safety and automation sensing and network solution.
HARTING is raising the speed limit in industrial connectivity with the launch of the Han-Modular® Gigabit Cat7A data transmission module for the world’s most comprehensive modular connector system. Incorporating the Gigabit Cat7A module into a Han-Modular® connector as part of a Cat7 network unlocks the potential of ultra high speed Ethernet…
Turck has expanded its ultrasonic sensor series with the RU50-Eco for price-conscious OEM projects. Because of the latest sonic transducer technology, a new ultrasonic sensor was developed, which does not make quality compromises despite its price.
The new LINETRAXX PEM353 addresses applications in low-voltage main distribution boards (LVMD), data centres and building installations. As a modern display instrument for electrical quantities, it is equally suitable for monitoring power quality and energy data.
Rockwell Automation introduces the Allen-Bradley ControlTower 856T 70 mm Tower Light system. This new system incorporates brighter LED illumination and a broad offering of visual and sound technologies all in a 70 mm diameter housing. The ControlTower 856T is capable of accommodating up to seven modules in the same stack, offering users the ability to monitor more machine and process conditions in a single device.
Manual control units are used when work is being carried out in a plant or machine’s danger zone. Use manually operated control devices, for example, to control machine functions by hand while the safety gate is opened.
Machine builders can now get standalone machines to market faster using a newly updated design and configuration software. The latest release of the Connected Components Workbench software from Rockwell Automation will be more familiar to Logix users and includes new features to help reduce programming time.
Depending on the requirement, various expansion modules can be docked onto the base unit of PNOZmulti 2: For example I/O modules, motion monitoring modules and link modules. Large plant and machinery can be implemented by using link modules to connect decentralised modules PDP67.
