Enhanced D6 Series keyswitch from C&K enables easy customization via distinctive visual illumination and positive tactile feedback.
The International Society of Automation (ISA) and the ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance (ISAGCA) have released a new guide to the security lifecycles outlined in the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards and technical reports. ISA/IEC 62443 constitutes the world’s only consensus-based series of automation cybersecurity standards. “Security Lifecycles in the ISA/IEC 62443 Series: Security of Industrial Automation and Control Systems” provides a high-level view of the product security lifecycle and the automation solution security lifecycle.
METCASE meets rising demand for 28″ deep rack mount enclosures for networking and communications, industrial computers, sound and studio electronics, laboratory instruments and control systems.
Verotec manufactures three different 19″ rack cases to meet application requiremetns: the heavy-duty EMC screened RackCase PRO, Veroshield EMC rack case and standard general-purpose rack case.
Phoenix Contact has recently introduced its first robust multifiber data connectors to the market. The FO connectors of the M17 MPO (multifiber push-on) series are particularly suitable for real-time data transmission in intelligent power grids. The robust interfaces feature high-quality fiber optics which provide stable bandwidths over long transmission distances.
Digi-Key Electronics recently announced that it will be the exclusive global distributor of the industry’s most affordable ready-to-use IoT data management software for the BeagleBone platform, Machinechat JEDI One for BeagleBone. “As one of the founding sponsors of BeagleBoard, Digi-Key is pleased to continue to be the leader in supporting BeagleBone developers with innovative solutions that enable them to make their IoT ideas reality,”
The new modular adapter system IMAS-CONNECT is a modular designed grommet system for mounting circular connectors, Keystone jacks, hose fittings, pressure compensation elements and much more. By utilising the modular adapter system, the cable entry frame becomes a hybrid system. Pre-terminated and standard cables or hoses can be routed and at the same time the system serves as an interface for connectors.
ABB has recently announced the release of a new digital switchgear portfolio that offers a significant reduction in total cost of ownership as compared to conventional switchgear. Additionally, there are specific advantages in terms of safety, space savings, simplicity of design and increased flexibility in protection and control. ABB is a manufacturer of UL certified ANSI digital switchgear.
Phoenix Contact’s new BOXTRAB surge protective device (SPD) combines protection for power, data, and signal within the same enclosure. In the process industries, instrumentation requires both power and signal/data control lines. Equipment users often protect these circuits with two dedicated surge protectors: one for power and one for signal. BOXTRAB provides an all-inclusive suppression system comprising independently configured protection arrays within a single enclosure to safeguard both the instrument’s power and signal lines.
ABB and IBM have recently announced a collaboration focused on connecting cybersecurity and operational technology (OT). As a first result of this collaboration, ABB has developed a new OT Security Event Monitoring Service1 that combines ABB’s process control system domain expertise with IBM’s security event monitoring portfolio to help improve security for industrial operators.
Networked automation with cloud computing: The efficient use of cloud services is increasingly developing into a decisive competitive factor in the industrial environment. The EK9160 IoT Bus Coupler establishes a direct connection between EtherCAT I/Os from Beckhoff and the Internet of Things (IoT) without any special control program. The coupler thus offers the simple and standardized integration of I/O data into cloud-based communication and data services.
Ever stricter standards and increasingly automated infrastructure and systems require fail-safe power distribution. Discover the new 3WA air circuit breakers – they let makers simply achieve what they want to achieve. Whether you are quality-conscious, demanding efficiency, forward-looking, or system-oriented – the 3WA air circuit breaker is set to be the new central component of your switchgear panel. Convince yourself how it simply and reliably supports you in all situations.
More for less: RockStar ModuPlug sets new standards. The modular connector system solves space problems by offering increased functionality with a reduced installation space, which in turn also helps keep the weight down. And all this with more convenient installation. Simply more of what you need and less of what you can do without.
Siemens USA announced the launch of its technologically advanced cyber test range housed at its U.S. R&D headquarters in Princeton, New Jersey. The COVID-19 pandemic and the related increase in cyberattacks has highlighted the need for facilities such as this to focus on prevention, detection, and response solutions. Recently, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) put out an alert recommending immediate actions to mitigate attacks on operational technology (OT).
Immersion cooling, first commercialized in the early 2000s, has generated a lot of attention and a host of eager advocates over the years. Compared to the more traditional liquid cooling solutions bringing cooling to IT appliances or directly onto the chips, immersion cooling essentially gives it a bath, submerging the equipment – lock, stock and barrel – into a pool of dielectric fluid.
