Omron Expands its NXR Series to Include EtherCAT: Simplifying Remote IO Maintenace and IIoT Adoption

Omron announces the launch of the NXR EtherCAT. This innovation solution prioritizes features and functionality to solve labour shortage challenges, save cost, and reduce downtime

Omron Automation Americas, a global leader in industrial automation solutions, launches the NXR EtherCAT, an addition to the existing NXR Series Remote IO portfolio. The NXR EtherCAT offers solutions that simplify remote IO maintenance operations while retaining all the advantages of remote IO, even in challenging industrial environments.

Key Features of the NXR EtherCAT Series:

  • PC-less maintenance: revolutionizing remote IO maintenance and minimizing downtime. Eliminates the need for a trained engineer to be onsite with a PC for maintenance.
  • Automatic IO-Link device configuration with the NXR EtherCAT in Sysmac Studio: OMRON’s software control platform, saves automation engineers considerable time by automatically configuring the IO-Link device’s data and parameters, reducing manual data entry.
  • Port Flexibility: Each port can be fully configured between regular IO and IO-Link, reducing the number of models needed to be implemented and stocked.
  • Significantly reduce cabling and remote paneling costs: Equipped with IP67 protection and M12 quick disconnect cables for easy standardization.

COMING SOON! Upgraded EtherNet/IP Interface for POSITAL Encoders

 

 

The updated EthernNet/IP communications interface helps optimize data transfer therefore minimizing downtime due to transmission delays. This improved protocol not only has advanced network management tools, it also supports a communications cap which allows installers to define the device’s IP address through a set of three rotary switches. High temperature warnings, monitored acceleration levels, and a time counter can all now be accessed through this upgrade. POSITAL’s implementation of this upgrade meets all requirements of the ODVA’s conformance testing.

 

DCS Littelfuse Compact Cartridge Fuses Available 1 400

Littelfuse Offers Compact Cartridge Fuses Available with High-Current, High-Voltage Ratings

 

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.
