Multi-touch panels open up new dimensions for innovative HMI design. There are numerous gestures that might be used in an application: zooming in and out and rotating objects with two fingers, scrolling through lists and switching to the next screen with a quick swipe. The main advantage of multi-touch technology is how it makes operation more intuitive.
The XP500 series from Eaton sets a new standard for advanced intuitive HMI and SCADA technology. Capacitive multi-touch displays allow the use of multiple fingers to zoom, scroll and swipe. It’s about time that the gesture controls that have benefited smartphones and tablets came to the industrial world.
Manufacturers change their products – and you: You change your project. It can be laborious when working on a control cabinet, but Pro Panel Version 2.8 simplifies the process. In the layout navigator, you can exchange parts without deleting the existing part placement from the original control cabinet.
And it’s not a problem if the new cabinet part has several macro variants: You simply select one of the variants before the exchange (e.g., control cabinet with door hinges on the right or left). After part selection, the “select macro variant” dialogue opens automatically.
Different types of constructions for a control cabinet can be saved as variants of a 3D macro in the master data and, if needed, exchanged in a positioned control cabinet via a part swap. It’s very easy!
Allen-Bradley’s Bulletin 5069 CompactLogix™ 5480 controllers are real-time controllers with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise running in parallel to the Logix control engine. The CompactLogix 5480 uses the same re-architected control engine deployed in the ControlLogix® 5580 and CompactLogix 5380 controllers.
Schneider Electric’s TESys N T02AN13G7 has a variety of hp applications, is an open device and is classified as 120 V AC common control circuit
Four to eight channels can be safely protected against overload and short-circuit currents with the CBM multi-channel circuit breakers. Thanks to the integrated nominal current wizard, setting the right nominal current for your loads is easy.The selected settings are locked electronically. This prevents the risk of unwanted incorrect settings.
The integrated early warning system ensures fewer failures. When the set nominal current of a channel reaches 80%, a warning is issued via the associated LED. Furthermore, the separate signal output can be used for remote signaling.
IEC style miniature circuit breakers (MCB), according to ENNEC 60 898, are not always permitted in North America. For this reason, MCBs were developed that were based on the miniature circuit breakers of the 5SY series and met the special requirements of UL 489. Within the sphere of influence of NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute) MCBs are certified as a solution for protective applications and can be used for branch circuit protection in the branches of control panels and systems.The connection terminals are designed for the class: “Field wiring”.
The QUINT POWER AC/DC power supply family now include low-wattage options ranging from 30 W – 100 W. These low-wattage power supplies offer advanced functionality and capabilities such as a powerful dynamic boost and preventative function monitoring.
Phoenix Contact’s 6-mm MINI Analog Pro family now includes a 4-20 mA/HART signal duplicator. The duplicator makes it possible for two devices (such as a display, PLC input card, or DCS) to receive the same signal simultaneously.
Carlo Gavazzi has developed a sereis of single-phase solid state relays and contactors with integrated monitoring features. The RG..M Series consists of solid state switches that integrate monitoring features for quick and timely failure detection, besides the switching function.
