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.
Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company, introduces 2.92mm, 40GHz cable assemblies utilizing two Cinch brands, Johnson connectors and Semflex low loss PTFE Cable. Cinch Connectivity Solutions’ Johnson 2.92mm, 40 GHz Test Cable Assemblies utilize 2.92mm connectors coupled with Semflex HP160S cable with Vp (velocity of propagation) of 76%, offering industry leading performance for test and measurement environments.
Eaton FAZ-NA and FAZ-NA-L series current-limiting miniature circuit breakers from AutomationDirect offer optimum and efficient protection for feeder, branch and control circuits up to 63 amps. These DIN-rail mountable circuit breakers are available with B, C or D trip characteristics in accordance with UL 489.
The TDK-Lambda convection cooled DIN rail mount DC-DC Converters deliver up to 250W per output. The DDA Series is ideally suited for generating additional low cost, high current outputs from an existing 24V bus in industrial, semi fabrication and test and measurement equipment.
Developed to minimize lifecycle cost, Emerson has released the new portfolio of RXi industrial display and panel PC products for monitoring, visualizing and enhancing everyday production processes.
Moxa introduced its EDS-2000 series of unmanaged Ethernet switches featuring up to 16 Ethernet ports and two Gigabit combo ports.
Mencom Corporation has launched a series of industrial enclosures pecially designed for industrial applications corrosive external agents, like saltwater spray, are present.
Vynckier Enclosure Systems broadens their JIC enclosure line to include the “extra depth” VJ2016, offering the industry’s deepest base. VJ NEMA 4X fiberglass electrical enclosures are maintenance free and corrosion resistant.
The Weidmuller Configurator makes panel building a seamless process, building a bridge from planning through to operation.
When used with an SR-54 Series programmable temperature controller, the Tunnel Series thermoelectric cooler assemblies provides precise temperature control with condensation protection for applications below dew point.
Siemens is expanding its modular Sitop PSU8600 power supply system to include a new single-phase 480-watt basic unit. The new product features four integrated monitored outputs with a total of 24 volts DC at five amperes per output. Each output is flexible and can be set during operation in a range between 4 and 28 volts either manually or remotely via software. This eliminates the need for additional power supply units to supply five or twelve volt loads.
Newly designed AAA Series XLR connectors feature a two piece design with integral strain relief for quick assembly. The pin insert is pre-loaded into the front shell, further reducing assembly time. A flat area on the handle is designed to accommodate custom labeling options.
KEB’s C6 EtherCAT counter modules bring incremental encoder signals to the EtherCAT bus. Each module supports 2 TTL quadrature encoder signals with complement tracks and a Z-channel.
TE Connectivity (TE) recently announced its new PCON terminals. Leveraging TE’s extensive connector terminal expertise, these high-power terminals combine high current capability with a smart and robust design for high vibration resistance. “PCON high-power terminals are specifically designed to support the increased connectivity requirements in high-voltage interconnection systems of hybrid and all-electric vehicles,” said Gautham Kadhirvel, product manager, TE Connectivity.
