The Fluke 377 FC and 378 FC True-rms Clamp Meters use FieldSense™ technology to make testing faster and safer, all without touching a live conductor. You get accurate voltage and current measurements through the clamp jaw. Simply clip the black test lead to any electrical ground, put the clamp jaw around the conductor and see reliable, accurate voltage and current values on the display.

Product identification is used in more and more situations. Not only to check whether the correct package insert is in the package, or to provide security through tracking when products are retrieved, but also when goods have to be sorted out on a conveyor belt or when it is necessary to check that the correct product is being processed by a machine: a Leuze code reader offers a solution here. In addition to our laser scanners, we offer a complete range of solutions!

Electric motors are major consumers in industry when it comes to energy consumption. As much as 70% of the electricity produced goes to electrically driven systems. For heavy industries, this can be as much as 90%. Since 2009, the EU has been setting minimum energy efficiency requirements for new electric motors from 0.75 to 375 kW with the Ecodesign Directive 640/2009 in order to encourage manufacturers to bring more energy-efficient products to market.

Using plug-and-play I/O modules on your standard components, you can bring I/Os to the components without redesigning the machine control or replacing components. With a single cable and one click, you connect all the I/Os on your normally 'non-intelligent' Eaton components that you now use in your current conventional control. This makes them intelligent without replacing them. Eaton's intelligent 'SmartWire' cabling solution communicates in this way both inside and outside the control cabinet, and also brings energy to the relevant components. This allows you to not only handle the I/O on the components, but also read valuable data from your processes and from the components themselves. As a result, you can easily and quickly update your control system to Industry 4.0. Whether that's today, tomorrow or in a few years.

According to the study “Panel building 4.0“ by the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units of the University of Stuttgart in classic panel building, 72 % of the working time in the installation phase is required for wiring and mechanical assembly.

With its long-standing presence in the field of machine safety, Leuze is a proven specialist with its non-contact detection solutions: the MLD300/500 family of access guarding is used in a wide variety of environments.

The CPX-AP-I remote I/O system from Festo is designed to easily integrate various I/O modules and \(even existing\) valve terminals with the most important PLC systems via the most common field buses. As a result, fewer components require a fieldbus module.

Got a simple system that you need to keep safe to SIL 3 and PL e levels? Look no further than the SIRIUS 3SK1 Serie of safety relays from Siemens. Designed for flexibility and ease of integration, the platform is targeted at simple safety-critical operations such as emergency stops, two-hand operator panels, light curtains up to protective door monitoring. The series is constructed as a clear modular system, so that users of installations can quickly, easily and cost-effectively put together a good and safe configuration.

The new Quint DC UPS uninterruptible power supply can be integrated into established networks, and continues to supply systems without interruption even in the event of a mains failure. It can be integrated into your network easily and flexibly, thanks to the integrated interface for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™, EtherCAT or USB. The device is available with all network technologies in each of the four performance classes 5 A, 10 A, 20 A und 40 A.

In industry, reliability and availability are written in capital letters. Machine manufacturers, installers and OEMs must rely on the power supply to ensure machine continuity. The CP-D and CP-E series are affordable power supplies of trusted ABB quality.

Optimal production performance is within reach of manufacturers thanks to the improved operational productivity that the integration of IO-Link into a full system provides. Using the open and standardized communication system, manufacturers can enjoy proven benefits such as fast installation, remote system monitoring capability, simplified maintenance planning, reduced downtime and real-time access to accurate data.

The Harmony ST6 series of HMI displays is specially developed for simple machines where intuitive operation, stylish design and powerful visualizations are important in addition to the price-performance ratio. Besides the existing Basic HMI \(HMIST6\) and the Basic Web HMI \(HMISTW6\), the Harmony ST6 series has now been expanded with a third option, the STM6 Modular HMI \(HMISTM6\).

A safe work environment with the Harmony Illuminated emergency stop button An emergency stop button is a mechanism that can be used to stop a machine's operation in one action. Directives require the mandatory installation of an emergency stop button at least at each machine control station. Schneider Electric introduces a new range of illuminated emergency stop buttons that contribute to a safer working environment.

With so many inspections in your day, it can be hard to remember what you saw and where you inspected. Maybe you carry around a clipboard to jot down notes. The TiS55+ and TiS75+ come with built-in personal assistants, which means you can finally ditch the clipboard and have all the information you need embedded in the images you save

\(11/19\) The new Quint Power power supplies with 40 A output current from Phoenix Contact are the most powerful power supplies on the market and feature innovative new functions: the single-phase device with a multi-stage PFC on the input side optimizes the degree of efficiency across the entire power range to achieve a long service life. The three-phase device does not generate any inrush current, thus preventing unintended tripping of the backup fuse after a short mains interruption.

The safety laser scanners PSENscan from Pilz are now also suitable for area guarding of vertical applications, for example for access protection. What’s more, with PSENscan applications can now be designed with greater flexibility, which minimises downtimes and increases cost-effectiveness.

Schneider Electric replaces Phaseo ABL power supplies with new range of Modicon ABL power supplies

Keeping an eye on energy consumption offers benefits on numerous levels: In addition to cost savings through optimized consumption, the monitoring of power networks and power quality in infrastructures and industrial plants ensures greater reliability. At the same time, systematic power monitoring raises awareness about actual power consumption and is therefore also an important prerequisite for more energy efficiency. Integrated in open IoT operating systems such as MindSphere, these optimization potentials can be increased even further. With a simple power monitoring system, you’re paving the way for regular energy audits and an operational energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001 and ISO 50003.

The energy performance of Rittal Blue e - the most efficient refrigeration system for control cabinets in the world - could not be improved.
