R-TOOLS MAXX is a no charge, on-line simulation software that allows users to model the optimum air or liquid cooled heat sink solution tailored to their project requirements. It is completely interactive and available online 24/7. Users can enter the boundary conditions, heat source details, and their choice of flow conditions.
Moxa Inc., a leader in industrial communications and networking, announced the launch of its next-generation industrial Ethernet switches, the EDS-4000/G4000 Series. The new Series includes 68 models that will help Moxa’s customers build futureproof industrial networks to strengthen operational resilience in industrial sectors such as power, transportation, maritime, and factory automation.
Teledyne FLIR has announced the addition of FLIR Thermal Studio Software Suite to the entire family of FLIR Si124 Industrial Acoustic Imaging Cameras: the Si124, the Si124-LD, and the Si124-PD. The software integration offers Si124 users additional, advanced troubleshooting and processing features for predictive maintenance on critical components includinghigh-voltage electrical or compressed air systems, providing increased productivityand streamlined analysis.
The manufacturing world is familiar with thick paper folders containing equipment and system documentation inside the enclosure. From Eplan and Rittal’s point of view, such practices are no longer up to date when the data can be used digitally and centrally. The sister companies present Rittal ePocket – the digital wiring plan pocket. In terms of environmental friendliness, the new space in the cloud has the benefit of doing away with paper. In addition, operators, planners, switchgear manufacturers and maintenance staff will find it easier to work together because of the constant availability of up-to-data data.
The 1100 is a low cost, high quality all stainless steel media isolated pressure sensor for measuring gases and liquids compatible with stainless steel. Suitable for industrial, refrigeration, hydraulics, off-road, construction and agriculture applications, the 1100 pressure sensor has been designed specifically for those applications with demanding price and performance requirements.
The Pro platform continues to expand and now includes the CL50 Pro Column Light family. Now with limitless options to convey status, CL50 Pro Column Lights provide bright, visible indication to identify and convey critical conditions quickly and easily. Additionally, Banner’s column lights have the option to add a sealed, omni-directional audible alarm. This feature offers extra signals to machine operators when equipment or process status issues arise. Best of all, they are programmable using Banner’s Pro Editor software or controlled dynamically with IO-Link.
Emerson recently announced that its device management software is the first host software to be fully registered by FieldComm Group® to support the Field Device Integration (FDI) standard. This is a further step in Emerson’s ongoing efforts to reduce the time and effort spent installing and configuring the field devices plants rely on to achieve their digital transformation goals.
STOBER recently released a second generation PE series gearbox that offers better performance and numerous upgrades compared to the first generation. The PE Generation 2 from STOBER is more attractive, stronger, faster, and smaller while remaining compatible with many Allen Bradley® motors. The two-stage PE units are shorter, lighter, and more compact than the previous generation, but do not sacrifice quality. The new generation boasts better performance, including up to 45 percent greater acceleration torque and up to 50 percent higher nominal torque.
Texas Instruments’ DRV8231 and DRV8231A are integrated motor drivers with an N-channel H-bridge, charge pump, current regulation, and protection circuitry. The charge pump improves efficiency by supporting N-channel MOSFET half-bridges and 100% duty-cycle driving. The DRV8231/A implements a current regulation feature by comparing the analog input VREF and the voltage across a current-sense shunt resistor on the ISEN pin. The ability to limit current can significantly reduce large currents during motor startup and stall conditions.
Endress+Hauser is extending its world-first 0 x DN full bore option to more flow measuring applications, including tough ones with line sizes 25mm to 2400mm (1” to 96”). This option was launched initially for Promag W electromagnetic sensors for water/wastewater applications, but now also can be ordered with Promag P sensors in chemical and process applications.
Comprised of the drive, motor and gear box, this new distributed drive system is available as a complete solution for motor-mounted and wall-mounted horizontal motion control conveyor applications. With its new SINAMICS G115D, Siemens is introducing a new, compact and powerful drive system specifically designed for horizontal conveyor applications. The drive system comprises the motor, drive, and gearbox in one unit and is offered in two versions — wall-mounted and motor-mounted.
Siemens announces the immediate availability of the SIMOTICS SD200 severe-duty motor in frame size 440 as its latest offering in the low-voltage SIMOTICS motor family. Cast-iron motors meet or exceed NEMA Premium® efficiency standards for oil-and-gas/petrochemical, pulp-and-paper, grain and rock processing, and other harsh environments.
Digi-Key Electronics, which offers one of the world’s largest selection of electronic components in stock for immediate shipment, recently announced that it has secured a global distribution agreement with EPC Space’s line of radiation hardened (rad hard) GaN-on-silicon transistors and ICs, which are packaged, tested, and qualified for satellite and high-reliability applications. EPC Space technology produces GaN devices that are smaller, have lower resistance, and have many times superior switching performance compared to silicon solutions.
