In the process industry, powerful sensors are needed to monitor the correct position of valves. Some outdoor applications, such as seawater desalination plants, oil rigs or phosphate mines, place special demands on the sensor technology used. With a particularly tight and corrosion-free housing, the F31K2 dual inductive sensor is the ideal solution for valve position feedback under such extreme conditions.
You can’t make the right decisions without the right data. If you’re manually measuring temperature and humidity in your enclosures, you’re constantly working with old data. Rapid changes and extreme environments can cause critical electronic components to fail. You need near real-time data if you want to make decisions quickly and avoid system downtime. The CSS 014 Smart Sensor and STEGO Connect put data at your fingertips remotely, in near real-time.
The new Allen-Bradley 42EA RightSight S18 and 42JA VisiSight M20A photoelectric sensors are economical and easy-to-apply sensing solutions that offer a wide range of sensing modes, mounting options and unique features, making them optimal solutions for global operations. All models have a visible red-light source to ease alignment, while multiple connection options and adjustment knobs for light or dark operation help ease installation, setup and maintenance.
Qualcomm and Alps Alpine continue their relationship to deliver next-generation automotive cabin and cockpit solutions and further the future of mobility.
Interactive video wall technology from Zytronic features seamless multitouch transition.
Banner’s new Q2X sensors feature miniaturized enclosures, which allow them to be fit into a wide variety of confined industrial spaces and equipment. Despite their compact size, these sensors deliver reliable, competitive performance, with robust excess gain and sensing precision to detect challenging targets. The next-generation Q2X series complements the available Q12 series of miniature sensors by providing a more expansive range of performance modes.
They are functional and yet can be used flexibly—the cylindrical photoelectric sensors of the M18 series offer five functional principles in three designs—each with a uniform interface. The M18 sensors can be used as thru-beam photoelectric sensors, retro-reflective photoelectric sensors, retro-reflective photoelectric sensors for transparency detection, and diffuse sensors with or without background suppression in almost every standard application.
Rugged and reliable – how Zytronic’s touchscreens enable safe refueling on remote sites.
Hammond Manufacturing has expanded its popular 1551 family of miniature plastic enclosures with the addition of an unventilated case option and three round versions.
CUI Devices introduces pressure sensors line to sensors portfolio.
Designed for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SerialGuard is a fully passive serial packet sniffer that enables secure visibility within vulnerable legacy networks. This fail-safe sensor monitors Level 0 and Level 1 serial communications between field devices and controllers. Combined with the Cynalytica AnalytICS Engine Platform, it can also reveal and help alert traffic anomalies that are indicative of a cyberattack, physical attack or system misconfiguration.
Wireless, not cabled: according to this principle, wireless switches and sensors from steute guarantee safe, reliable and cable-free signal transmission in a wide range of applications. One interesting area for this solution is plastic injection moulding, especially multi-component processes which often involve machines with rotary plates. These plates enable the main part of the construction element to be moulded first and then – after rotating the plate by 90 or 180° – injection of the second part.
Banner has expanded the measurement range of its QM42-DPS Differential Pressure Sensor line to include +/- 20 inWC. In addition, the company now offers the sensor in the RS-485 modbus communication protocol for all measurement ranges. The RS-485 option allows users to add this sensor to a modbus network for complex monitoring applications, while the 1-wire serial sensor can transmit the data to a wireless controller or a gateway using the Q45DPSD transmitter for remote monitoring.
With the new AL200S PROFIsafe IO-Link module from ifm electronic, it is now possible to operate standard safety sensors and actuators via IO-Link.
Designed for monitoring of critical loads, the EISH Series features a space-saving and versatile housing which can be either DIN rail or panel mounted.
Arjay Engineering announces the upgrade of their 4100-HCF controller to display liquid level in addition to the current oil thickness display.
