The investment will include the addition of a lab and showroom to the on-site warehouse and distribution center as well as increasing capabilities for injection molding and die-casting processes. The project is slated to create at least 50 new jobs.

The Protocol Gateway series is equipped with hardware platforms and software to manage the translation from protocol to protocol. They are designed to withstand environments with temperatures ranging between -40°C and +85°C degrees with up to 95% humidity.

As a part of the ABB Ability portfolio of connected digital solutions, digital switchgear is based on the integration of current and voltage sensors into medium-voltage switchgear, combined with ABB’s Relion protection and control relays, and the capability of the IEC 61850 standard for communication.

The RD-19231 series operates in temperatures ranging from -40° C to +85° C, and is suitable for aerospace, industrial, and commercial position applications, including servo motor controls, antenna positioning, aircraft position feedback systems, machine tool and robotic positioning controls, and manufacturing process control systems.

First principle models can be used to gain a deeper understanding of cause and effects, process relationships, process gains, and the response to abnormal situations.

By John Mitchell, CP Automation In modern computer numerical control (CNC) machines, there may be less need to replace cutting tools in these machines, but there’s more complexity to their upkeep. This article explains how poor power quality can cause recurrent issues for CNC machines.

Based on Cincoze’ CMI & CFM technology, it allows users to expand I/O and functionalities through ready-to-use modules, such asGbE/PoE ports, serial ports, optical isolated digital I/O and power ignition function

Working with Cognex, engineers at automotive manufacturer General Motors of Canada Company (GM Canada) developed a chain drive stretching system that measures every link in real time and automatically marks non-compliant links without slowing or stopping the line

The scope of supply includes 69kV high voltage air-insulated switchgear, UniGear medium-voltage switchgear, MNS low-voltage switchgear, power and distribution transformers, a capacitor bank, soft starter, IS-limiters and a process power management system.

The course provides a comprehensive overview of the IEC 61508 requirements needed to ensure functional safety for electrical/electronic and programmable electronic systems.

The building focuses on a sustainable energy concept, including a photovoltaic system installed on the roof that provides enough electricity to completely power the basic production load.

HARTING is the first component vendor to actively support the CADENAS-Zuken interface, providing component information for ECAD applications to customers.

A MR430 Absolute Encoder System consists of the MR430-1 DIN Rail Mount Controller and MR431 Rotary Sensor. The Controller offers a number of built-in interfaces for ease of insertion in the engineer’s design – including SSI, RS485/Modbus RTU, Digital Set Point, and programmable 4-20mA and ±10V analog outputs.

The Simocode pro motor management system monitors, protects and controls constant-speed motors, and is equipped with predictive maintenance functions.

MAC motors are complete servo systems including an AC servo motor, hall-sensors, encoder, power supply, driver and positioning controller and Nano-PLC

Energy management, access control, lighting control, asset management, communications, life safety, fire alarm, and HVAC controls are all of interest when designing a building automation system

The companies have completed testing which is intended to assure customers that both solutions can bidirectionally share information to detect, respond and mitigate security threats across their entire attack surface, including industrial control system (ICS) devices.

The reader has a variety of interface solutions for integration into existing systems. The RS-232 COM interface is a serial port suited for connection to monitors, POS terminals, measuring instruments, or printers.

The load cell with signal conditioner (100 N capacity, 1 N resolution) allows for 1-100 N of push/pull force feedback. It comes supplied with a recirculating ball linear bearing.

The stainless steel sensing face fights failure from impact, abrasion, and erosion while Factor 1 technology extends the sensing range to 8mm, even when flush-mounted in metal, for additional mechanical protection.
