Higher amperage relay output modules and an 8-point input simulator module are now available from AutomationDirect for the CLICK® series stackable micro brick PLCs. The CLICK C0-04TRS-10 ($54.00) is a 4-point, 10A per point, isolated relay output module with four Form A (SPST) relays and 4 isolated commons. Operating voltage range is 6-24 VDC / 6-240 VAC.
Available immediately from ADVANCED Motion Controls are three new additions to the FlexPro servo drive family, the FM series. Designed with compact form and power density in mind, the micro-sized drives can outperform larger-sized digital servo drives and still be integrated into tight spaces. The new FM drives are equipped with an additional interface board that makes it easy to integrate into your system with standard connectors.
Remee Wire & Cable, a high-integrity manufacturer of electronic wire and cable for reliable performance, recently announced new custom design and manufacturing capabilities for cable products. Known for its breadth of capabilities and service to accommodate the manufacture of custom cable designs, Remee has recently added capabilities to make hybrid composite constructions with fiber optic and copper cable under one jacket.
KEB America recently introduced the new C6 HMI, a moisture and water-resistant stainless steel HMI suitable for food and beverage, packaging, and pharmaceutical applications. The IP69K certified panel uses 316L stainless steel and is offered as a standalone HMI or as a HMI + PLC combo. The C6 stainless steel HMI offers protection in environments where high-pressure water or steam is used to sanitize or clean the equipment. Its rugged design makes it ideal for industrial applications.
B&R has added the powerful T80 operator terminal to its Power Panel T-Series. A high-performance Intel Atom processor enables versatile, dynamic web-based HMI solutions. The elegant glass screen makes the Power Panels the perfect accent for a high-end machine design. The glass screen has integrated edge protection to endure harsh everyday operation.
Bel Fuse-Circuit Protection, a Bel group company and global manufacturer of fuses, recently announced the expansion of their 0ZCM Series of 0603 chip (package) size surface mount PPTC resettable fuses. With this release, Bel Fuse becomes the only manufacturer with 10mA, 20mA and 30mA offerings in this compact form factor, which is also AEC-Q compliant.
So-called REST (Representational State Transfer) APIs are frequently offered by web servers in IoT communication in order to channel certain communication processes via a uniform and stateless interface. The TwinCAT 3 Function TF6760 TC3 IoT HTTPS/REST provides users with basic functions for HTTP/HTTPS communication in a PLC library enabling them to address REST APIs as a client and providing HTTP commands such as GET, PUT and POST.
New Allen-Bradley 855X Hazardous Location Signaling Devices can help industrial operators meet the latest global hazardous-location ratings and certifications. The signaling devices include horns, beacons and combination horn-and-beacon units. In most cases, these new 855X devices (Series B) are drop-in replacements for the original 855X devices (Series A).
Wherever cables with or without connectors, conduits or pneumatic hoses have to be routed into machines, enclosures or control panels and sealed with IP54, the cable entry system KEL-QUICK is an outstanding alternative to cable glands. Especially for applications that do not necessarily require standard-compliant strain relief acc. to EN 62444, the KEL-QUICK is the perfect solution.
Phoenix Contact is now also supplying its modular ICS series DIN rail housings in an overall width of 50 mm. The new electronics housings accommodate up to four printed circuit boards, making them suitable for even more powerful automation concepts such as I/O groups.
Wenglor rectangular 50 x 50 x 20mm photoelectric sensors from AutomationDirect include diffuse with background suppression, retroreflective, retroreflective for transparent objects, and through-beam models. The popular size of these Wenglor sensors makes them ideal as drop-in replacements for other higher-cost rectangular photoelectric sensor brands. Sensing ranges vary from 1200mm for background suppression sensors to 20m for through-beam models.
The QUINT POWER power supplies from Phoenix Contact in the power range up to 100 W are now also available with special voltages of 5 V and 12 V. Three new single-phase power supply units (5 V DC with 5 A, 12 V DC with 2.5 A and 7.5 A) supplement the portfolio, which until now has included 24 V devices in the power range of up to 100 W.
The modular safety gate system from Pilz offers individual safety gate solutions that are ideally tailored to the requirements of the most varied applications. Users benefit from an economical series connection, rapid diagnostics, additional control and pushbutton elements and an optional escape release. Different components can be combined to fit the application, allowing users to achieve an individual safety gate solution, ideally tailored to the respective application.
TE Connectivity is once again expanding its M12 portfolio with A-, B- and D-coded versions of the right-angle connector. The new products come just a few months after TE introduced connectors with eight and 12 pin positions for direct mounting onto PCBs and panels.
The new, only 3.5 mm-wide PTIO 1,5 initiator/actuator terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact are particularly suitable for wiring your modern machine controls. They offer you the option of connecting sensors with two signal outputs in a space-saving manner.
