The controller 751-9401 (Compact Controller 100) is an automation device that can perform the control tasks of a PLC. It is suitable for mounting on a DIN rail and stands out on account of its various interfaces. Among other things, the controller has integrated digital and analog inputs and outputs and a serial onboard interface in accordance with EIA-485/RS-485. This controller can be used for applications in mechanical and systems engineering, in the processing industry, in building and energy technology.
AutomationDirect has recently added three new additions to the ProductivityOpen and Productivity1000 lines of controllers: the ProductivityOpen P1AM-200 open-source CPU, and the P1-08ND-TTL and P1-08TD-TTL DC I/O modules. The P1AM-200 CPU can be programmed in C++ using the Arduino IDE or in CircuitPython using any text editor, while the new I/O modules are 3.3 to 5 VDC input and 5 VDC output versions with 8 points per module.
Klein Tools introduces the Digital Multi-Tester DMM with Receptacle Tester, combining core electrical products into one convenient model. “Trade professionals need tools that are versatile, and serve a variety of needs on the jobsite,” says Amy Hart, senior product manager at Klein Tools. “Our new Digital Multi-Tester is a first-of-its-kind tool that combines multiple core electrical products into one convenient tool.”
Bourns, Inc. has recently announced its new Model 1260 Series Surge Protective Devices (SPDs). These AC hybrid SPDs are designed with an advanced MG (MOV + GDT technology) architecture that delivers enhanced reliability and safety protection due to the architecture’s no leakage or follow-on current features. Bourns developed its latest series of hybrid SPDs as an optimum protection solution for electrical service entrances, branch panels, heavy industrial systems, EV charging stations or virtually any power circuit in installations without Lightning Protection Systems (LPS)/lightning rods.
Bel Fuse Inc has recently announced that its Signal Transformer division released the expansion to their 3PH Series of Three Phase Dry Type Transformers targeted for use in medical, industrial, lighting, electric vehicle charging and green energy applications. Adaptable to multiple requirements, these rugged isolation transformers are designed and permanently configured for a 3 phase DELTA input and a WYE output. A value-added electrostatic shield (ESS) between input/output windings attenuates line noise by preventing feed-through of undesirable signals and serves as a safety feature in the event of single fault conditions.
Weidmuller USA has recently announced the full operation of its Automated RailAssembler and RailLaser machines for a faster, more efficient way to assemble and mark terminal rails. “We’re proud to offer our customers in North America the next level for automated terminal rail assembly and marking. It’s a game-changer for panel builders in every industry sector,” said Carlus Hicks, Director Cabinet Products Division with Weidmuller USA.
As the landscape of modern manufacturing continues to change and evolve, today’s manufacturers need increased industrial enclosure versatility, particularly when it comes to floormount enclosures. Recent trends, like retrofitting for warehouse automation and the need to reduce your automation footprint, are pushing manufacturers to source enclosures that offer high levels of protection and durability without sacrificing flexibility or ease of integration. The new Rittal VX SE Floormount enclosure system fits the bill.
SCHURTER series DG11 and DG12 with and without mains filter features a first-of-its-kind ingress protection solution for IEC inlets, consisting of a seal gasket between the connector and mating V-Lock power cord. The blue colored latch of the V-Lock power cord and blue inlay of the appliance inlet indicate that the two have been equipped to provide an IP54 rating under load. The unit is screw mounted and rated IP67 between the power entry module and the panel.
Balluff’s new CIP Safety I/O module safely connects sensors and actuators to industrial controllers, even in harsh environments. Its IP67 protection rating means it can be mounted directly on the machine, like Balluff’s IO-Link and standard I/O modules, to easily connect safety devices without spending the time and effort on traditional wiring terminations.
The Modicon M241 is a Micro PLC designed to handle more advanced machine automation with a mixture of hardwired I/O and automation bus/communications with devices such as drives, motion, remote I/O and HMIs. The M241 has generous offer of Serial, Ethernet and CANopen communication ports in addition to USB and SD provisions. It’s available with either 24 or 40 I/O points and is expandable with TM3 I/O modules to handle up to a few hundred I/O points.
Panel builders have new tools for bringing power and signals back into protected areas with Banner’s M8 and M12 receptacles. These receptacles let users easily connect devices to a panel while maintaining a waterproof IP67 rating. Maintenance is also simplified: if a cable is damaged between a field device and the control panel, simply swap the damaged cable for a new one—no rewiring is needed in the panel. The slim profile leaves no bulky threads sticking out, allowing an easier fit into tight panels.
Pepperl+Fuchs adds the powerful M-LB-4000 to its portfolio of surge protection systems. The two-part system is based on a modular design consisting of a base module and a protection module. The latter contains the entire protection function. Thanks to this modularity of the M-LB-4000, installation and maintenance are simple and convenient. The base modules are mounted onto a standard 35 mm DIN-rail, while the protection modules can be plugged effortlessly into the base modules.
Recently, Emerson announced its new TopWorx DVR Switchbox, an entry-level addition to the DV Series of valve position indicators. It combines a durable resin enclosure, compact size and a patented cam design that provides water and wastewater systems, food and beverage production lines and industrial utilities a reliable valve position feedback tool. The TopWorx DVR Switchbox uses a low-profile indication to provide easy-to-read local position feedback.
MENNEKES recently expanded our sloped-top motor disconnect offering, allowing you to prioritize sanitation in your plant environment while easily meeting requirements for multiple disconnects. Available in three multi-gang enclosure sizes, the new stainless steel SLPX Series features a unique clean design for critical washdown and processing areas. Like other MENNEKES sloped-top disconnects, these units are UL Listed, rated NEMA 4X and include a 15-degree sloped roof to facilitate liquid runoff. They are also ideally suited for multiple disconnect requirements, saving you cost and time with one box installation versus having many individual units.
AutomationDirect has added new RHINO BASIC PSR series power supplies that feature high power density, high efficiency, and overcurrent protection in constant current mode, making them ideal for charging applications.
