SmartGuard 600 safety PLC
16 October, 2009The Allen-Bradley SmartGuard 600 is designed for SIL 3 applications which require a degree of complex logic in general-purpose applications such as material handling and process lines.
Decentralised drive system
15 October, 2009 byThe SEW-Eurodrive decentralised drive solutions package comprises a PLC/motion controller or gateway, frequency inverter, optional I/O module, geared motor and interconnection cables to bring drive control and execution closer to the application, reducing the ‘real estate’ requirement in the central control cabinet and the installation, material and maintenance costs associated with wiring inverters back to the central control cabinet.
Stratix 8000 modular industrial ethernet switches
15 October, 2009The Allen-Bradley Stratix 8000 modular managed industrial ethernet switch line has been upgraded to improve system flexibility and uptime.
Energy-efficient motors
01 September, 2009 byThe DR series of energy-efficient induction motors has been extended with two additional models rated to varying efficiency levels: minimum efficiency (DRE) (spanning 0.75 to 45 kW) and premium efficiency (DRP) (spanning 0.75 to 37 kW), enabling users to address differing motor-efficiency requirements.
Temperature controllers
31 August, 2009 byThe SDM range of temperature and process controllers, from Sanup Electrical Company, features universal inputs and outputs (except the 48 mm2 model).
Industrial drive modules
31 August, 2009 byThe ACS850 industrial drive features an energy-saving calculator, embedded Modbus, drive-to-drive link, integrated safety and a removable memory unit.
Small-scale control system
31 August, 2009 byThe AC500-eCo is a small-scale control system which can be adapted to meet individual requirements of smaller automation projects.
Electric cylinders
31 August, 2009 byThe CMS Electric Cylinder series of electric servomotor-driven actuating cylinders presents an alternative to pneumatic and hydraulic actuating cylinders, providing accurate linear positioning for single-plane motion applications.
Interface modules
31 August, 2009 byTo simplify device set-up and installation time, the IM family of interface modules may now be programmed via a PC or onboard push-buttons using FDT/DTM software, along with PACTware, allowing multiple parameters to be quickly set and saved.
ATC880 compact process controller
31 August, 2009The ATC880 is a compact 1/4 DIN auto-tuning process controller that employs a PID algorithm to control a single process parameter, such as for a plastics extruder.
Industrial LCD
31 August, 2009The APD-1107 fully sealed VESA-mount industrial LCD monitor provides a 10.4<0x2033> colour TFT LCD screen with 800 x 600 pixel resolution.
Gigabit uplink
01 August, 2009Hirschmann Industrial Ethernet has expanded its range to include a 10-port switch in the IP67-rated Octopus family of networking devices.
I/O expansion modules
09 July, 2009 byThe Unitronics range of I/O devices has been expanded with the release of the XL-IO and XL-EX expansion modules.
Pump and fan drive
09 July, 2009 byThe low-voltage AC drive is designed for fast installation and commissioning in pump and fan applications. Built-in PID controllers vary the drive in response to changes in pressure, flow or other external data, eliminating the need for an external PLC.
Motor gear units
09 July, 2009 byFeaturing an extended bearing distance, the EBD MC Compact series of helical and helical-bevel gear units has been engineered to absorb the high bending moments and axial forces that occur in mixer and agitator applications.
