In the past, enclosure accessories were limited to being Recognized Components which might have required the end user to initiate additional evaluation in order to allow the use of these products. The new certification for environmental-rated accessories for enclosures utilizes the UL Listing Mark, so enclosure accessories can be installed without further evaluation.
Hirschmann’s Full Gigabit OCTOPUS IP67 Ethernet switches offer a powerful, yet economical, solution for industrial engineers seeking to optimize network performance in harsh, condensed operating spaces. The unique L-shaped housing takes up less space for cabling both onboard and along rail system tracks and the PoE port options save costs by eliminating the need for separate cabling to power end devices, such as IP cameras.
A new variant of B&R’s ACOPOS P3 servo drive is now available with no output frequency limitation. In many applications, that makes it possible to achieve motor speeds in excess of 100,000 rpm. The new ACOPOS P3 is especially suited for axes that rotate at very high speeds, like the spindles of CNC milling machines. That means it can now be used for demanding machine tool applications for processing metal, stone, glass or wood.
binder offers a wide range of M12 and M16 cable connectors within its overall product portfolio. These include the 423, 713, 715 and 825 Series that binder has expanded with a shielded, two-part right-angle housing in the first quarter of 2021. This provides new options to widen the range of applications and increase future demand. binder’s 423, 713, 715 and 825 Series connectors are perfectly suited to applications for miniature connectors in areas like automation engineering.
To offer customers more flexibility and faster access to high-quality products, nVent Electric plc, a global provider in electrical connection and protection solutions, recently announced the expansion of its nVent HOFFMAN Global IEC offering and Express Customization services in North America.
Fibox Enclosures expands its TEMPO series of enclosures with two new sizes.
B&R’s real-time operating system, Automation Runtime, now automatically logs data about storage media’s health to provide machine operators and service personnel early warnings of impending failure. Storage media can be replaced before a crash causes lost data and costly downtime. B&R is among the first to bring this commercial-grade feature to industrial embedded runtime systems.

You also benefit from more than 50,000 pretested and approved combinations for the most common applications. High-quality CAx data simplifies electrical engineering and saves you time during panel building.
A complete system that provides the accurate inventory data you need to optimize production along with a foolproof way to interface with your host PLC. The Anderson Liqui-Track Level Monitor does this by incorporating industry standard components and proven tank level scaling software to measure virtually any liquid product in any storage vessel.
To satisfy the stringent standards required in the automation market, especially packaging, label slitting, and motion-based robot dispensing, Advantech offers the WebOP-2000T series with 200MHz ARM9-based RISC CPU’s and 128MB flash memory for application software. The WebOP-2000T series also support a variety of LCD sizes from 4.3″ to 10.1″ for different applications involving the use of PLCs, motion/thermal controllers, inverters and sensors.
As a control panel shop, UCEC creates industry specific panels for a variety of major markets including food and beverage, water and wastewater, life sciences, industrial, oil and gas, packaging and more. These panels can look very different from one another and serve different functions within those markets, but their insides are far from different. Similar to humans and other mammals: vastly different exteriors, with basically the same interior parts and functionality.
