RS stocks Omron Automation’s NX Series safety controllers and accessories for contemporary industrial environments with more than 10 safety devices, long or complex programming sequences, and demanding safety network requirements. Safety controllers interact with other elements of industrial safety systems — like sensors, emergency stops, and light curtains — to detect hazards and trigger automated responses, like slowing or stopping machines, designed to protect employees and equipment. They also interact with non-safety devices, including PLCs to prioritize process safety and HMIs to deliver diagnostic data.
AutomationDirect has added Schneider Electric Easy TeSys series manual motor protectors, contactors, thermal overload relays, and accessories to their lineup of motor control products. Schneider Electric Easy TeSys series IEC manual motor protectors are compact, easy to use, and cover the functions of disconnect, controller, thermal overload relay, and branch circuit protection in a single device. They are pushbutton operated and available in ratings up to 32A.
The 4799 rewireable IEC connector from SCHURTER is the first of its kind: it combines a rewireable C19 connector with the proven V-Lock cord retention system. Fast reaction time is an important factor in opening a new market for a device. Rewirable connectors are particularly flexible and especially suitable for small series of mains cables to enable exactly this. These connectors give you the freedom to choose the right cable with a country-specific plug.
AttaBox Enclosures is excited to announce the expansion of its SolarShield HMI Cover lineup with the addition of two new sizes: 16″ x 11″ and 20″ x 14″. Engineered to deliver unmatched protection for Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens, the SolarShield HMI Covers are ideal for shielding equipment from harsh environmental conditions. Available in both Opaque and Clear configurations, these durable, non-metallic covers safeguard against UV exposure, dust, water, and other damaging elements.
The Trio Power AC/DC power module from Phoenix Contact with 20 kW of power for 19″ rack mounting enables bidirectional power conversion in various areas of application. With connection technology on the front and a DC voltage of up to 1,000 V, it can be used in a variety of ways, but is particularly suitable for use in battery storage systems. The power supply for rack mounting with 20 kW of power is used in various areas of application, such as energy storage systems, e-mobility, and DC technology. The connection technology directly on the front ensures flexible and easy mounting. The module can therefore be installed and maintained conveniently in 19″ racks without access to the rear, for example in energy storage units.
AutomationDirect has recently added AchieVe FDM series 12mm tubular photoelectric sensors that offer a rugged metal construction, high IP67 protection ratings, and sensing distances up to 4 meters. These photoelectric sensors feature selectable light-on/dark-on operation, a 10 to 30 VDC operating voltage range, potentiometer or teach-in button sensitivity adjustment, and a fast 1kHz switching frequency. Highly visible red LED models are offered with the polarized reflective sensing style, while infrared models are available in diffuse and through-beam styles.
ifm efector, inc. recently introduced its new MVQ301 process valve positioner. The positioner is the third-installation in ifm’s MVQ series of pneumatic quarter-turn valve sensors. Supported by IO-Link, the MVQ301 is a valve positioner that also functions as a valve sensor, providing accurate feedback while positioning the solenoid valve to an exact degree. The new sensor features a standard M12 connection and 5-pin cable for both feedback and control, and is equipped with self-learning algorithms embedded into the sensor ensuring precise valve positioning; continuous learning allows the smart sensor to study the valve it controls, and improve its control performance each time the valve moves.
AutomationDirect has added the powerful LS Electric XMC motion controller to provide full EtherCAT master motion control. With a blindingly fast processor (scan times as low as 5ns) and built-in support for 8 or 16 axes of EtherCAT-based motion control (depending on the model), the XMC controller can handle virtually any motion control application. These brick-style controllers feature 8 discrete inputs, 16 discrete outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs. Utilize the new EtherCAT bus coupler with the diverse LS XGB PLC I/O modules to expand the XMC controller I/O capability.
The R50C MDR Controller helps keep control of conveyors and other equipment in one system and gives system designers more efficient control of motor driven rollers using a PLC. Modbus communication, two configurable I/O channels, and a 0–18 volt analog output provide precision MDR control for a variety of conveyor systems, as the R50C is compatible with many different types of MDRs with integrated controls. Standard A-coded M12 connectors for sharing signals, and L-coded M12 pass-through connections for daisy chaining up to 16 amps of motor power, simplify installation of multiple motor driven roller controllers on a conveyor.
