The Series 273 features a pinching mechanism that remains firmly in place to provide better tube retention and eliminates breakage or damage to the soft tubing

The NCA-6210 will be Lanner’s first NFVI-ready network appliance verified as an Intel Select Solution for NFVI FP (expected in Q4’19). Optimized as a NFVI platform for virtualized network function (NFV) software,

This in-vehicle system is certified with CE and FCC and is in compliance with ISO 7637-2. Axiomtek’s UST100-504-FL features a single-sided I/O design for space-limited vehicle applications. The vehicle PC is powered by the LGA1151 socket 7th/6th generation Intel Core or Pentium processor with up to 35W TDP and comes with the Intel H110 chipset

These plastic limit switches have standard U.S. 25mm mounting hole spacing; housings are double-insulated and epoxy resin-filled, providing IEC IP67 protection. Contacts are Snap-action (Z11) with 1 N.O. and 1 N.C. contact on all units.

Self-study workbooks ensure that all students have been exposed to the same learning objectives and material.

Intelligent Automation will help these companies and their engineers to beat the competition and make an impact in this highly competitive and evolving digital trend of integrated Cyber – Physical world of manufacturing, called Industry 4.0.

With three spectral models–measuring at wavelengths of 1 µm, 1.6 µm, and 2.3 µm, respectively–the full Thermalert 4.0 lineup can measure temperatures between -40°C and 2,300°C and is ideal for applications where non-contact temperature monitoring is critical, such as metal, steel, or glass.

The Flexy gateway pulls data from any supported PLC from ABB, Rockwell, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Eaton and others. Canary’s Enterprise Historian is configured to pull PLC data from Flexy’s embedded OPC-UA server, and data flows automatically from Flexy directly to the Canary Historian.

The MRD-455-NA is well suited to industrial applications where machine to machine communication is vital. It has a design with all interfaces and LEDs at the front, DIN-rail mounting, isolated power supply and an operating voltage range spanning from 10 to 60 VDC.

With the service portfolio including Mindsphere app, Siemens is focusing on the operative demands of machine users, who are looking for full transparency for spare parts and servicing.

This release expands the capability of XLReporter for Web reporting, 21CFR Part 11 features and ISA18.2 Alarm Management.

The new report includes a new definition for digital twin and eliminates virtual entity in favor of digital representation. Other terms added to the report include physical entity and physical entity of interest, describing a physical object such as factory equipment that could be monitored or that is already being monitored by an IoT system.

By Edward Naranjo, Emerson When plant personnel have a basic grasp of fire and gas system operation, they can recognize factors that compromise safety.

The Sirius 3RW55 Failsafe soft starters are suited for starting and stopping operations of high-power motors with a rated output of 5.5 to 560 kilowatt (kW) at 400 volts (V).

Zettlex sensors use printed circuits. This enables position sensors with no contacts. IncOders are suited to environments where potentiometers, optical or capacitive devices may prove unreliable.

An interconnected, compatible solution portfolio of tablet, mobile interfaces and professional applications can enable technicians on site to monitor and control processes in detail, contributes to more flexibility and helps to increase employee productivity.
