Bussmann series surge protective solutions help provide power that’s free from damaging surges. Type 1 UL 1449 4th Edition Listed SPDs are easily selected and installed on the loadside or lineside of the service entrance overcurrent protective device. Voltage specific models precisely match and protect electrical systems and equipment better than a “one-size-fits-all” SPD.
UWP 3.0 is a monitoring gateway and controller that allows the monitoring and controlling of installations where Energy Efficiency Management, Building Automation and Car Park Guidance functions are needed. The system monitors and controls connected devices via its local bus management functions; it includes a web server with a powerful and intuitive user interface to display customised dashboards and interact with local devices and remote systems.
Introducing a series of stripping tools from Weidmuller with automatic self-adjustment for precision stripping. These tools are designed for flexible and solid conductors, and are ideally suitable for mechanical and plant engineering, railway and rail traffic, wind energy, robot technology, explosion protection as well as marine, offshore and ship building sectors.
Cornell Dubilier Electronics introduces two new series of Hybrid LIC Supercapacitors in response to the growing need for ultra-high capacitance values at higher operating voltages. The new VMF and VPF Series operate at 3.8 WVDC with capacitance values up to 220 Farads. The higher voltage results in increased energy density.
A unique handheld HMI with added features like a hardwired E-stop button, selector switch and enabling switch help users maximize productivity while delivering dependable safety for any machine. At only 500g and with contoured hand grips, a hand strap and a wall hanging bracket, the HG1P series of operator interface handheld models feature an ergonomic design, making them comfortable for use over a long duration and ensuring fatigue-free operation.
Color-coded trims are now available as an option on ROLEC’s starCASE premium plastic enclosures for industrial electronics. Elegant but tough IP 66 rated starCASE can be installed anywhere – on walls, machines and bulkheads. Applications include monitoring systems, IIoT, HVAC controllers, safety equipment, factory automation, security systems and test and measurement.
elec calc now includes new features that allows the calculation of the quantified elements of the Arc Flash, from which the user will be able to develop its safety analysis in the vicinity of switchboards and panels. The Arc Flash module for elec calc is based on the calculation methods recommended by the IEEE-1584-2018 standard: empirically derived model or method of Lee according to the characteristics of the installation.
Littelfuse, Inc. recently introduced an expanded reed relay product portfolio that extends voltage capabilities to include AC ratings, supports AC or DC loads up to 300 Vdc, and provides input/output isolation voltage 2500 VRMS. These miniature reed relays are available in single In-line (SIL) and dual-in-line (DIL) packages. Typical applications for the reed relays include position and speed sensing in a broad array of markets.
Safety light curtains are a non-separating guard used for the protection of hazardous areas. They detect the passage of objects and direct the machine to stop the hazard. Because they do not provide a physical barrier, consideration must be made to place them a suitable distance from the hazard point to ensure the hazard is stopped in time.
The Cembre MG3 Identification & Labelling system provides panel builders, plant engineers and equipment manufacturers’ with industry leading levels of optimisation, negating the need for older less efficient marking systems or bulky plotters, by instead, choosing the excellent print quality of the MG3 thermal transfer system. MG3, which is 100% manufactured by Cembre, is capable of printing large quantities of cable, wire and terminal markers, push button and component labels, adhesive labels, panel plates including plates for special applications, such as for identifying PLC’s.
In material handling applications―i.e., indoor warehouses, manufacturing facilities, automotive plants, airports, cold storage―pallets carrying products down a conveyor is a standard application. While standard, there are frequently complex problems that require exact product measurement solutions during this automated process. Conveyor speed and control, anti-collision (ZPA), safeguarding, and of course pallet profiling are among the most common challenges.
With the Panel PC 1200, B&R introduces a compact and cost-effective all-in-one PC. Equipped with the latest Intel Atom processors and up to 256 GB of mass storage, the Panel PC 1200 is ideal for running HMI applications under Windows or Linux operating systems. With 2x Gigabit Ethernet and 2x USB 3.0, the Panel PC 1200 is ready for integration into any machine network. Compact CFast cards are used for data storage.
The new WLAN 1010 and WLAN 2010 industrial WLAN wireless modules from Phoenix Contact enable you to easily equip compact machines, mobile robots, or automated transport systems with a WLAN interface. Unlike the “all in one” WLAN modules, WLAN 1100 and WLAN 2100, the new WLAN modules in the device series enable the connection of external antennas.
The compact FL BLE 1300 wireless module with integrated antenna from Phoenix Contact connects up to eight industrial Bluetooth Low Energy sensors to industrial controllers and IoT systems. This allows access to sensor data from a machine control system, for example. The acquired operational data and information form the basis for innovative IoT applications intended to optimize production processes.
OKW’s TOPTEC plastic enclosures for PCBs with protruding connectors and interfaces are now available in 28 different permutations. TOPTEC is ideal for applications including monitoring, signalling and control systems; medical and wellness devices; laboratory technology; computer peripherals and IoT/IIoT. Installations are faster because pre-assembled PCBs fitted with protruding connectors or interfaces can be mounted directly into the case – with no need to wire them in afterwards.
