Allied Electronics & Automation now offers Banner Engineering’s Snap Signal portfolio of modular, brand agnostic, plug-and-play IIoT solutions, including the new Snap Signal DXMR90 industrial controller. Banner’s Snap Signal solutions are designed to leverage machine data from automation islands scattered throughout the factory floor, convert disparate data signals from both condition monitoring and process monitoring solutions into a unified protocol and transmit that insightful diagnostic data to a dedicated PLC or SCADA control system for local processing or an edge device used to monitor equipment conditions in the cloud.
An enhanced version of Banner’s XS26 Safety Controller is available with built-in In-Series Diagnostics (ISD). This technology simplifies installation, provides comprehensive real-time data about automation safety equipment, and prevents or reduces downtime. The expandable XS26-ISDd allows users to configure and monitor up to 394 connected safety devices—such as E-stop buttons, safety switches, safety light screens, two-hand controls, and rope-pull switches—and controls up to 68 independent safety outputs. It is a cost-effective solution to meet machine-safeguarding requirements, with the flexibility to grow with expanding production and future technology enhancements.
Dynamic applications such as distance measurement and positioning in storage and retrieval machines or shuttle cars require a high measuring rate. The new R1000 distance sensor with Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) is suitable for high-precision distance measurement. For this purpose, the dimension of the light spot was designed so that the sensor can easily compensate for mechanical influences such as vibrations and shocks. Due to its compact housing, easy integration in applications with confined installation space is possible. The red transmitter light for easy alignment of the photoelectric sensor and an integrated display ensure user-friendly commissioning and diagnostics.

The IP66 / NEMA 4X rated variable frequency drives can be used in applications and environments containing large amounts of dust, moisture, and chemicals. They are the perfect choice for applications such as conveyors, mixers, packaging, ventilation and fans, and water or liquid pump systems.
Hartland Controls, a Littelfuse Company, offers easy-to-install hard start kits that improve efficiency in compressors. Hard start capacitors allow A/C units and heat pump compressors to start up at maximum efficiency, allowing the unit to reach a normal rated speed up to ten times faster. Hard start capacitors are also useful in difficult conditions, such as low voltage or undersized wiring, and reduce light dimming during compressor start-up. The HHS series capacitors eliminate the heat surge that typically occurs at start-up and help extend the life of the compressor, terminals, windings, and capacitor.
Littelfuse, Inc., a global manufacturer of leading technologies in circuit protection, power control, and sensing, recently announced the compact cartridge fuse series available that’s rated at 500Vac/Vdc with current ratings from 40A to 63A and a 10,000A interrupting rating. The 607 Series high-current, high-voltage cartridge fuse, designed for overcurrent protection applications, provides a robust solution for demanding high-voltage power supply circuits. The 500V fuse rating is suitable for both AC and DC inputs. With a 10mm x 32mm cartridge body, a single 607 fuse requires less board space than previous designs that used multiple lower current rated fuses in parallel. As a result, designers can reduce the board space they reserve for protection components when designing high wattage equipment.
Hartland Controls’ relays provide power system on/off switching capabilities. The primary purpose of Hartland Controls/Littelfuse’s relays is to switch electrical circuits on and off in an instant. Relays are essentially electromagnetic switches activated by a low power signal or current in one circuit to open or close another circuit. They are most commonly used in power system networks and multiple automotive and industrial applications or HVAC where the system is controlled by 24 VAC, 120 VAC, or 240 VAC.
The manufacturing world is facing increased challenges like labor shortages, material costs, transportation delays, and low stocks due to the current crisis.
