Designing control systems just got easier. With new PANELdraw™ software from Hoffman®, you can create panel and enclosure layout drawings, quickly and precisely. This AutoCAD® add-on tool has an easy-to-use process for Bill of Material generation, documentation reporting, panel selection and drawing.

Grace Engineered Products has introduced an interface for the Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1200 processor.

Grace Engineered Products announces two new Convenience interfaces for Allen-Bradley ControlNet (AB 1203-CN1) and Enhanced DeviceNet (AB 1203-GU6)

AutomationDirect's GS AC drives were designed with simplicity and robustness in mind. We worked hard to make these drives the easiest to use in the industry. The GS series was specifically designed to be able to handle the higher range of American voltages.

Cut your PLC wiring time down to minutes instead of hours! The ZIPLink system eliminates the normally tedious process of wiring PLC I/O to terminal blocks. Simply plug one end of a ZIPLink cable into a DirectLOGIC I/O module and the other end into a ZIPLink connector module. It’s that easy! ZIPLinks use half the space, at a fraction of the total cost of terminal blocks.

The DirectLOGIC 06 (DL06) programmable logic controller (PLC) is our first micro PLC to combine its fixed I/O of 20 inputs and 16 outputs with four option card slots for expansion (discrete, analog, communication modules), all in the same package. With the DL06 micro PLC, you can use the same PLC panel layout for all applications from 36 to 100 I/O.

Designing a pushbutton that will satisfy NEMA requirements while maintaining the value you've come to expect from AutomationDirect is not an easy task. We took advantage of the experience of Cutler-Hammer engineering to take existing product technology and make it better. We proudly carry the HT800 line of 30 mm pilot devices from Cutler-Hammer.

The WinPLC is a revolutionary product that brings the best of the PC controls and the PLC world to a common platform.

All sizes of NITRA rodless cylinders have magnetic pistons and are double-acting. The cylinders have front and rear adjustable cushions and tapped end caps for mounting.

The EC-7100 platform combines the computing power of the NVIDIA’s MXM GPU hardware accelerator and the 7th Generation Intel Core processor family to leverage streaming data for artificial intelligence-driven applications in the transportation, automation and retail industries.

WEG SSW05 and SSW07 soft starters are fully digital soft starters with DSP (Digital Signal Processor) controller designed for motor starts and stops. The Gen 2 WEG CFW100 VFD drive is a single-phase input (110/230 VAC), three-phase output variable frequency drive developed for applications ranging from 1/4 to 1hp (0.18 to 0.75 kW).

Electra Cloud allows users to collaborate on their drawings with team members located anywhere in the world in real-time, with a browser and no additional software required.

The integrated tool “surface OCR” recognizes and extracts character strings from surfaces. For that it uses either the scan data of the 3D-height map or the 2D intensity data.
