Resisto, Sylvania's range of waterproof fixtures, excels in quality, offers improved ease of installation and functionality, and helps save more energy.

Did you know that surges caused by lightning can be felt up to 2km from the point of impact? The consequences are not only annoying but also expensive!

Most processes in industrial plants depend on electric motors. Electric motors are thus critical assets for many industrial activities, but at the same time also major consumers of energy.

Advances in technology are changing the way almost every industry operates. To remain competitive in the market, manufacturers are constantly looking for the latest and greatest innovations, strategies and systems. The increasing demand for IoT solutions like accessible information at all levels, predictive and preventive maintenance, mobile and cloud solutions, security, seamless integration, plug & play etc. are often expensive and complex.

The SPLC 1000 was developed as a dedicated safety controller mainly used in a distributed safety system. The new module uses the black channel principle to communicate with other Profisafe devices. This safety controller can be seamlessly integrated into the PLCnext-Technology open ecosystem.

To achieve complete, standard-compliant electrical engineering for a control panel, you have to go through many steps. Electrical engineering is versatile and complex, and can therefore take up a great deal of time. Unless you perform the electrical engineering digitally, with Control Panel Design in the TIA Selection Tool.

Validation processes during the engineering phase are expensive. Individual components must be on site and connected together. In some cases, the components must be delivered specifically for testing or retrieved from storage locations. The simulation software SIRIUS Sim greatly simplifies the process by virtualizing the applications.

Mennekes PowerTOP® Xtra plugs and sockets in 16 A, 32 A, 63 A and 125 A versions.

Rittal is expanding its offering with the Blue e+ S-Series. These new cooling units with lower cooling capacities of 300, 500 and 1,000 watts complement the Blue e+ family and introduce new smart features and innovative energy-saving functions for production processes.

Digitalisation is causing social and economic change on an unprecedented scale. Digitalisation has become indispensable for many sectors. But the increasing use of data makes our digital landscape vulnerable. Digitalisation and the increasing networking of machines and industrial systems also increase the risk of cyber attacks. The damage caused by cybercrime runs into billions.

Eaton introduces the Modbus RTU module to complement the range of communication options for the easyE4 control relay, allowing the mini-PLC to be used as both a master and slave unit.

In critical environments automatic transfer switches are used to detect power failure and automatically switch to an emergency power supply. This way, business continuity and 24/7 operational safety can be ensured. This makes it the ideal solution for critical applications, such as hospitals, data centres and telecom installations.

Softstarters are welcome guests in industrial environments where motors are used to keep pumps, compressors, fans, etc. running. Here, they provide a smooth start and stop of the motor so that the connected equipment as well as the piping behind it are not subjected to unnecessary mechanical stress. With the PSTX, ABB offers a complete motor protection system that compensates for irregularities in the load and the grid.

You may think: "if my frequency drive fails, I'll order a new one right away". But is a one-to-one replacement still available? At what point do you want to have this information? When production stops, or perhaps a little earlier? You may not realise it, but a Danfoss AC drive often lasts more than 10 years.

The DEHN Safety Equipment range offers an extensive programme of safety devices, both for persons and for installations, for all work on electrical installations, both under tension as well as disconnected. The range includes PPE, switch sticks, earthing and short-circuiting systems, voltage detectors, fuse rods, etc.

We have proven our expertise in this area: Since the early 1960s, we have provided sensor solutions for many applications in logistics, packaging technology, mechanical engineering and mechatronics, among others. In many cases, an important role is played by safety components such as light curtains, access guarding devices, safety laser scanners, safety switches, controllers and relays. We currently offer, for example, the most innovative laser scanners with e.g. Profisafe interface and monitoring of several safety fields at the same time, easily parameterisable and high system reliability even in dusty environments!

Frequency-controlled ventilation systems are widely used in livestock farming. But what happens if the frequency control fails or requires maintenance? Do the ventilation systems continue to function as usual? They will if they are equipped with the new bypass switch from ABB.

Eaton already presented the DG1 General Purpose frequency drive that is suitable for any application up to 630 kW and enjoys new modern functionalities with pump and fan algorithms. Now Eaton is launching a Micro variant of the same model that also fits into very compact enclosures.

Supply lines can easily be overlooked and thus create additional accident hazards at the workplace. Poorly laid compressed air hoses or extension cables are not only a tripping hazard, but also a nuisance during transport and are not to be underestimated as a source of danger, especially when great importance is attached to the swift running of work processes.

Mico Pro is Murrelektronik's innovative power monitoring system for use in 12 and 24 VDC applications with patented switch-off technology. Thanks to its modular structure, the system can be precisely tailored to the required application. This results in a very favourable cost-benefit effect. In addition, the system can be used very flexibly and takes up very little space. The patented switch-off characteristic ensures that your machine remains optimally usable. An additional advantage: an integrated concept for the distribution of potential that significantly reduces the amount of wiring in the switch cabinet.

With SNAP IN, installation and maintenance work can be performed just as quickly as snapping your fingers. The new connection is, in principle, just as simple as it is to use: the stripped conductor is inserted directly into open connection points, and snaps into place with an audible “click”. The other way round is just as fast. The connection point can be re-opened simply by pushing on the lever and removing the connected conductor.

Machine and plant manufacturers that export their products to North America or wish to put them into circulation within their area of applicability are subject to the laws and regulations applicable there. One of the most important industry-specific standards in addition to the NEC is NFPA 79. NFPA 79 is revised every three years in line with the NEC and adopts its innovations.

Familiar components in a new machine? Often it can be smarter! Festo's portfolio develops annually with around 700 new products. This innovative strength lends itself extremely well to a lower cost price. With the itsme factory scan we would like to help you find smart applications that fit in with the current focal points in machine building.

Sentry safety relays are now also available with push-in connection. The push-in connection speeds up and simplifies installation, and ensures a safe, maintenance-free connection - even after transport or in installations with vibrations. No tools are required to connect the cable in the push-in terminal.

Pneumatics are still the tool of choice for simple motion and positioning tasks. However, in an increasingly digitized world, electrical automation and a continuous flow of information from the workpiece to the control system and to the cloud is becoming indispensable. With the Simplified Motion Series, Festo offers an automation solution that bridges the gap between easy-to-install pneumatics and flexible electrical automation.
