IronHorse ACM series AC drives provide basic V/Hz and sensorless vector control for low-horsepower motors when only single-phase power is available. These VFDs accept a 120 VAC or 230 VAC single-phase power source and control motors from 1/8 to 3 horsepower. 5 digital inputs, 2 relay outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 1 analog output are standard, along with dynamic braking circuitry. These drives support advanced features normally only found on more expensive drives, such as PID control, 2-motor control, fire mode, momentary power loss restart, and can be password protected to prevent unauthorized changes to the configuration.

Mechanical requirements for connectors in industrial applications are continuously increasing. Moving machine components, chain flex applications and robotic systems place high demands on strain relief, anti-twist protection and the service life of cable connections. binder is responding to this development with a design innovation: a specially developed triangular moulding, which is now being used for the first time in revised M16 cable connectors as well as in M12 K- and L-coded cable connectors.
Weidmuller USA has recently introduced PROeco II Power Supplies with SNAP IN technology – the first power supply on the market to feature the innovative SNAP IN solution. “SNAP IN technology, invented by Weidmuller, ensures a faster, simpler installation option with long-term serviceability and reduced wiring effort,” said Ken Crawford, Senior Director of Automation at Weidmuller USA. When the stripped wire is inserted into the contact point, users hear an audible “click” that signals a secure connection, and it’s easy to reset the connection by pressing on a raised pusher to release the wire.
Rugged edge computing brand—Cincoze has announced the latest addition to its Rugged Computing – DIAMOND product line: the DX-1300 high-performance compact industrial computer.
