Ethernet-based data networks have become indispensable in the industrial arena. Ethernet networks are connecting sensors, machinery, control systems, computers and data centres. HARTING is now also offering expedient interfaces in the form of its Han 1A series of miniaturised industrial connectors.
Made exclusively for AutomationDirect by Yokogawa, the ProSense PPC5 series of Advanced Process Controllers has the features, functionality, and performance to handle temperature, pressure, level, flow, and other process variable control applications. These controllers accept inputs directly from thermocouples or RTDs and analog signals from most any type of process variable sensor/transmitter.
EDAC has extended its offering of industry-standard rack and panel connectors that feature highly dependable contacts.
Positronic has released Lightweight Aluminum Backshells for its D-subminiature (D-sub) connectors. New styles have been added to the existing portfolio, including straight exit, side exit and low-profile designs. These designs are appealing for applications where size and space configuration constraints are present.
In response to customer requests for switches with a smaller diameter and a particularly low mounting depth, SCHURTER extends its successful MCS series of short-travel switches with a durable, robust 16 mm variant.
AutomationDirect StrideLinx VPN routers provide an outgoing, secure connection from remote machines or systems to the StrideLinx platform. Routers are easily configured and have a built-in firewall to isolate company and control networks. These easy-to-use, IT-friendly industrial VPN routers minimize costly field support by providing remote programming, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
EXAIR’s new Dual 316 Stainless Steel Cabinet Cooler® System offers a low cost and reliable way to cool and purge electronic control panels. Electronic temperature control keeps electrical enclosures cool while maintaining the NEMA 4X rating of the enclosure.
Mouser Electronics has extended its global agreement with Advanced Energy to distribute Excelsys power supplies. Mouser Electronics is now stocking Excelsys low-voltage power supplies.
VCC has launched a robust, watertight 14mm LED indicator designed for extreme, harsh and outdoor environments. The CL Series LED Indicator is ideal for front panel installation and suitable for high vibration environments.
The new disconnect terminal blocks from Dinkle implement plug-in technology, safe design, and space savings with testing capabilities for use in CT and VT secondary circuits.
Vicor has developed an isolated, regulated 270V-28V DC-DC converter with an output power rating of 1300W in a 5.6×1.4×0.3 inch VIA package.
Six new line lasers from Balluff deliver outstanding projection quality for industrial image processing. By generating a fine laser line across a horizontal plane, the newest additions to Balluff’s vision line assist in detecting, aligning, positioning and measuring workpieces. Red, blue, and green light types provide opportunities to counteract colors on a part or a part’s reflectiveness. Red light versions are also available in various projection types including line, point and cross.
BittWare, a Molex company, a supplier of enterprise-class FPGA accelerator products, is pleased to introduce the all new TeraBox 200DE edge server. Building upon the success of our market-leading range of TeraBox servers for the data center, the TeraBox 200DE enables world-class FPGA acceleration to be deployed in the more challenging, harsh environments demanded of edge applications.
On January 14, 2020, Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7; the company will no longer provide any security updates to eliminate new security vulnerabilities. This gives cybercriminals the opportunity to hack into production computers with Windows 7 operating systems, increasing the security risk.
Phoenix Contact introduces six new universal temperature transducers. These new additions to the MACX MCR family are loop-powered and have two channels. The new modules include two non-Ex and two Ex I versions in two different mounting formats: head-mount and DIN rail-mount. The temperature transmitters support more than 28 different temperature sensors.
From barcode scanners, RFID read/write heads, and vision systems to weighing scales: devices with serial interfaces are still used in many applications. At the same time, there is a shift toward modern Ethernet-based fieldbus systems such as PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. This means users are faced with the challenge of harmonizing their systems.
