All Solectria inverters that are Tigo Enhanced are plug-and-play out of the box with Tigo’s latest generation rapid shutdown devices.
Toshiba Industrial Products Canada (TIPCA), a wholly owned subsidiary of Toshiba International Corporation (TIC), is proud to announce Canadian Standard Association (CSA) N299 certification for TIPCA’s Quality Assurance Program. This certification allows TIPCA to continue to supply motor products to the Canadian nuclear power market without interruption.
FLIR Systems, Inc. recently announced the FLIR VS290-32, an industry-first, videoscope that combines thermal imaging and a visible camera specifically designed for safer and more efficient.
New RHINO PRO (DIN Rail Performance Series) PSN and PSD series switching power supplies are available in single-phase and 3-phase input units and feature universal AC input voltage range (1-phase units), a built-in constant current circuit for charging applications (3-phase units) and a power boost of 150% for up to 7 seconds.
The podis/gesis motor starters for decentralized applications close to motors are based on the podis power bus solution and can be used in harsh industrial environments.
The future is digital – including in the industrial sector. Thanks to digitalization and networked processes, companies can produce more flexibly and reliably, and they can respond to events more rapidly. Digitally enhanced drive components are an important step toward digitalized automation.
Perfectly matched components are the key to efficient and high-performance machine automation. SEW-EURODRIVE offers a comprehensive product portfolio of all required components. From drive technology through control platforms to the human machine interface (HMI), we provide a finely scaled range of matched components, further enhanced and rounded off with the MOVI-PLC I/O system.
The Mach 3 is designed for digitally sensitive applications and comes with added feature ‘Active SineWave Tracking’. It is used on MRI’s, dentist offices, large LED Jumbotrons, computer rooms and truck scales.
RS Breakers & Controls have a massive inventory of current and vintage MCC Buckets, also referred to as wrapper buckets or wrapper units. Whether you’re looking to upgrade, retrofit, like-for-like swap, or buy new, RS can provide you the solution for all your needs.
You will find requirements for line-of-sight motor disconnects in all plant environments. That’s why we designed our new CDS Series to withstand demanding operating conditions, especially in food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications.
The new AMI812x series of integrated servo drives expands the Beckhoff compact drive technology portfolio (up to 48 V DC) with devices for distributed installation in the field. The integration of servomotor, output stage and fieldbus connection in a space-saving design makes the drives ideal for automation outside of control cabinets in the motion power range up to 400 W.
Murr distribution junction blocks provide a convenient method for connecting sensors and actuators to the control cabinet. Murrelektronik supplies a comprehensive range of distribution boxes. They create optimum installations for any application and are cost-effective, reliable, and space saving solutions.
Murrelektronik optocouplers, slim interface relays and multi-mode relay timers are now available from AutomationDirect. Murrelektronik optocouplers (from $16.50) are used to combine different signal levels or to isolate one signal from another. Optocouplers are similar to relay interfaces, providing an optoelectronic signal transfer between input and output.
Littelfuse, Inc. recently announced the introduction of its DC Disconnect Switch product line. The Littelfuse LS6 (available in 1000 and 500 V) and the LS6R (available in 1500 V) series are energy-efficient, compact disconnect switches that quickly break or resume the flow of current safely. Offered in both 250 and 400 amperage ratings, these switches prevent shock hazards when isolating circuits or repairing systems.
The new version 6.0 of the REMOTE HMI firmware for Thin Clients from R. STAHL has been tailored to meet the current requirements for virtual network structures in the process industry. As a closed system based on WINDOWS 10 IoT, the firmware meets the highest security standards and supports all major protocols for remote control and process monitoring that are relevant in the fields of the industrial Internet of Things, virtualized server structures and cloud automation.
