The Preventa XPS Universal safety modules send modulated signals to the machine controller. The machine builder provides two function blocks in the machine driver to decipher these signals. In order to simplify commissioning, Schneider supplies a library of function blocks for all the programming systems of the Schneider Electric PLCs and the programming systems of the most common PLCs available on the market.

Junction boxes made of glass-fiber reinforced polyester have been used a thousand times in even the harshest of environments as terminal boxes. Aggressive chemicals and / or mechanical stress can not damage these rugged Junction boxes. Silicone seals in the lid close cleanly and permanently without much deformation.

Switching operations are far and away the most frequent cause of surge voltages. Type 2 surge protective devices provide effective protection against these dynamic disturbance variables. Whether in an industrial environment or in a residential building, type 2 protections ensures basic protection for your installations and devices.

With the new TIA Portal V16: Totally Integrated Automation Portal, Siemens has expanded its engineering framework with practical new functions for various phases from planning, to engineering, to commissioning. The innovations concentrate on the continuous integration of the development process. These include standardization, integrated engineering spread across teams and an integrated function test. This enables users to increase the quality of their software, shorten commissioning times and reduce engineering costs.

The Axioline P modular proxy from Phoenix Contact connects PROFIBUS PA segments directly to a PROFINET network. The modular station communicates with a PROFINET controller, e.g., a distributed control system, DCS, via a bus coupler. As an option, up to eight PROFIBUS PA segments can be connected to the individual proxy outlets in a compact way. To ensure the individual segments are immune to interference, appropriate shield connection technology is available. FDT/DTM technology simplifies the startup and device management of both the proxy station, which is fully integrated into higher-level control systems, and the connected PROFIBUS PA devices. The AXL P BK PN AF bus coupler supports the specification for implementing S2 system redundancy using only one bus coupler. Two bus couplers are required in order to satisfy PROFINET system redundancy R1 and R2. The hot-swap capability integrated in the bus coupler ensures high system availability.

Experience the start of a new chapter in the world of standard power supplies with the SITOP PSU6200 all-around power supply. Whether you’re a builder or operator of control panels, machines, or plants, all users benefit from the ingenious functions and features of the new SITOP PSU6200 product line – throughout the entire lifecycle, from planning and engineering to installation and operation. ​​​​​​​

The second generation of light curtains, PSENopt II, provide safe access to the production process and provide finger, hand and body protection, depending on the requirement. The first Type 3 safety light curtains are specifically designed for applications up to PL d of EN/IEC 61496-1. Type 4 light curtains are also available for applications up to PL e in accordance with EN/IEC 61496-1/-2. As the units are so robust, PSENopt II sensors provide protection against shock, collision and vibration and so are suitable for use in rugged industrial environments. The operator can evaluate the essential causes and system defects responsible for the machine stop by means of the LEDs. Downtimes are reduced as a result.

Schneider Electric has expanded its range of Altivar 320 frequency converters with a version with increased IP protection like dust and water, especially developed for placement in the installation close to the motor.

With servo motor and servo drive integrated in one housing, the Lexium32i is designed for application areas requiring high precision and advanced motor control.

VLT Midi Drive FC 280 AC drive delivers precise and efficient motor control for machine builders in the food and beverage, material handling, and processing industries. It is strong on control performance, functional safety, and flexible fieldbus communication. It’s also an easy retrofit for the VLT 2800 in established plant or machinery concepts.

The Internet of Things is the extension of the Internet to connected devices. Telemecanique Sensors offers a wireless solution to collect data from remote equipment and use this data, via the Internet, on a PC or mobile device. The XIOT Cloud connected switch from Telemecanique Sensors is based on LPWAN: low power wide area network technology, operated by Sigfox. The Sigfox network covers 32 countries and is already very extensive in Europe. It is also being rapidly deployed in the US and Asia-Pacific. It uses antennas with a range of around 50 km. The map on the Sigfox website shows exactly which areas are covered by the Network.

Part of Lexium The Lexium 32 range of servo drives includes four servo drive models with power ratings from 0.15 to 11 kW and the servo motor ranges BMH and BSH series

The SIMATIC Field PG with its robust magnesium housing is well prepared for mobile applications in harsh environments: Shocks and vibrations, but also electromagnetic disturbances in machine-oriented industrial environments do not affect the device. Equipped with all important automation interfaces, the connection to machines and systems is possible via PROFIBUS as well as via two fast PROFINET interfaces.
