The TMPS 10 Family offers seven single output models ranging 3.3 - 48 Vout with safety approvals for IT solutions (IEC/EN/UL 62368-1) and IEC/EN 60335-1 for IoT, building/ home automation and industrial applications.

Despite IIoT, Industrial Ethernet and Industry 4.0 initiatives, digital networks are still not used everywhere. Organizations stuck in an analog world should look carefully at what they are missing.

The competitive award is for students enrolled in a CNC machinist, CNC operations, engineering or manufacturing certificate or degree program. As part of the award process, the scholarship recipient's school will also recieve a $500 donation made to their machining or manufacturing department.

The goal of this initiative is to deliver an open, cohesive approach to implement OPC UA including TSN and associated application profiles. This will advance the OPC Foundation providing vendor independent end-to-end interoperability into field level devices for all relevant industry automation use-cases.

By Mike Devine, Zebra Technologies E-commerce is booming globally. The increasingly higher expectations of smartphone-savvy, always-connected consumers have urged retailers, manufacturers and logistics companies to collaborate hand in hand to meet the growing shoppers’ needs in the on-demand economy.

This catalogue has been specifically developed to support automation and manufacturing markets and includes products of Koganei, a user and reseller of Automation Studio

In its role, Emerson will update control and safety systems, fire and gas systems, field instrumentation control and isolation valves, and other equipment to improve production efficiencies.

The additions to the machine safety portfolio are all designed to communicate over EtherNet/IP and are tested against machine safety standards to ease compliance. The products will also be included in the next release of the Safety Automation Builder software tool.

The SureStep family has options for open loop control (no encoder), position monitoring (external encoder feedback), and position verification (integrated motor/drives with internal encoder).

Built with the needs of automotive and semiconductor manufacturing in mind, the CK3M controller achieves nanoscale motion control designed to keep production lines flexible enough to accommodate the needs of the future.

The motors are used in pumps, fans, compressors, extruders, grinders, stirrers, mixers, conveyors and rollers in industries as diverse as energy, chemical, cement, paper and pulp, and mining.

The XR3 can control any combination of brushless, DC brush, or stepper motors at up to 320 VDC operating voltage and 30 A peak current capability.

The constant between pipes of differing diameters is the flow rate (and other fluid properties) is the same in both pipe lengths.

This software solution from CoreTechnologie meets all the requirements for a consistent 3D master process. The viewer can be installed on a Windows tablet for use in the workshop and can be used in company networks or on the go thanks to floating and license borrowing functions.

The improved accuracy specification is 0.01% of reading from 30% to 100% FS. Additel offers a variety of ranges with the improved specification for both controllers and pressure modules

The VMM-19U features both analog (VGA and Composite BNC) and digital (HDMI) video inputs for versatility. It also features an LCD panel; 350 nits brightness; lockable on-screen display controls; and a full 3-Year Warranty.

By Jonathan Wilkins, EU Automation Technology has rapidly caught up with the human ability to read faces, progressing to a stage where facial recognition could improve industrial security.

Indonesia is working to become Southeast Asia’s biggest digital economy by 2020. The “Making Indonesia 4.0” initiative was developed to revitalize the Indonesian manufacturing sector through the adoption of Industrie 4.0. It focuses on five sectors for the initial implementation: food and beverage, textiles, automotive, chemicals, and electronics.

During the workshop, featured experts reported that the rapid pace of digital technology and the increasing sophistication of cyber tools at the disposal of foreign entities are making it more difficult to protect critical infrastructure and the industrial control systems that operate them.

This is a solution for enabling device-to-cloud secure communications, empowering engineers and system integrators with an OPC data transfer to the Cloud with built-in support for Microsoft Azure IoT Hub
