Ethernet extension over copper
01 September, 2008The Westermo DDW-220 is designed to extend ethernet networks over existing copper cables in point-to-point or line sharing applications. Point-to-point transmission distances of up to 10 km can be achieved with data rates of 5.7 Mbps possible over shorter distances on a single copper pair.
ELC programmable logic controller
01 September, 2008The ELC programmable logic controller is designed to suit control applications of 40 I/Os and less, although it can also be expanded up to 256 I/Os. That way, there is no need to change to a different controller as I/Os need to be expanded.
Liquid cooled drive
01 September, 2008The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 700L liquid-cooled drive delivers energy-efficient liquid cooling, allowing it to be installed in conditions where air-cooled drives can’t operate, such as dusty environments, or where increases in climate control costs would be excessive. Typical applications include HVAC and chillers, pumping applications and oil and gas industries.
AC servomotors
01 September, 2008The Mavilor MA series of AC servomotors utilises an air gap design with small diameter and short length, which has a short mechanical time constant and extremely short electrical constant that provides high peak torque at high speed, making them suitable for control operations.
SCADA system enhancement
01 September, 2008The functionality of the Simatic WinCC SCADA system has been expanded with the release of version 7.0, so that it now offers operation in accordance with Windows Vista, easy language switching, analysis functions and an integrated MS SQL Server archive historian database as standard. In the core packages, the power tags have been doubled from 256 to 512, and from 1024 to 2048 from the previous versions.
IP65-rated control bezel
01 September, 2008The Wincomm IP65-rated stainless steel bezels provide protection for factory automation and control and HMI equipment from water, cleaning materials and grease typically found in the food and pharmaceutical production industries.
LCD touch panels
01 September, 2008The Kortek touch-enabled LCDs are designed to meet the demands of 24/7/365 operations in a range of environments.
VSD with in-built PLC
27 August, 2008The Delta VFD-e series AC motor drives offer advanced motor control with the added advantage of an in-built PLC. The PLC provides up to 500 program steps and is programmed in standard ladder logic using free software, making simple automation projects easily achieved.
Fibre-optic light source
03 August, 2008When the Kingfisher KI7827B optical light source with APC (angled physical connection) is used in conjunction with the KI7600 optical power meter, together they can test loss on singlemode optical fibre systems.
Internet-linked safety I/O
01 August, 2008The CompactBlock Guard I/O on EtherNet/IP series are safety I/O modules equipped with EtherNet/IP connectivity. The 1791ES-IB16 and the 1791ES-IB8XOBV4 modules allow users to streamline network architectures by employing industry-standard EtherNet/IP protocol for all safety, standard and motion control communications.
Industrial I/Os
01 August, 2008The high-density Compact I/O modules are additions to the Allen-Bradley range of industrial I/Os including analog, digital and ASCII modules that accommodate various applications while conserving panel space. Providing improved installation and operational flexibility, the modules are compatible with the CompactLogix and MicroLogix control platforms.
Industrial LCD module
01 August, 2008The NEC LCD Technologies NL8048BC19-02 module is a 7" TFT LCD with WVGA resolution, 50,000 h claimed life and white LED backlighting.
Santerno Sinus variable speed drives
01 August, 2008Santerno’s Sinus range of flux vector drives are suitable for all industry segments, and have power ratings from 0.4 to 2000 kW and supply voltages up to 690 VAC.
h3 series stepper motors
01 August, 2008The updated version of the h3 series of Portescap step motors is claimed to provide 25+% more torque output across the entire speed range compared with the original h3 models.
Stepper drive with AC mains supply
01 August, 2008The RTA XMind-B6 stepper drive is powered by direct connection to 240, 220 or 110 VAC. When using a 240 VAC supply, this provides a 325 VDC motor supply rail which is suitable for high speed and acceleration.
