Phoenix Contact RFC 460R PN 3TX high-performance controller
04 July, 2012A redundant control system for Profinet can be created with the RFC 460R PN 3TX high-performance controller from Phoenix Contact. This makes it possible to reduce system shutdowns and prevent dangerous situations, for example, in tunnels or airports.
Elap WDS absolute multiturn pull-wire encoder with fieldbus communications
04 July, 2012Motion Technologies is now supplying the Elap WDS absolute multiturn pull-wire encoder, featuring industrial standard Profibus, CANopen or SSI outputs.
Rockwell Automation 1794-AENTR EtherNet/IP communication adapter module
22 June, 2012The Flex I/O Dual Port EtherNet/IP communication adapter module (1794-AENTR) includes two EtherNet/IP ports configured as embedded switches that support not only the conventional star and tree topologies but also the daisy chain and Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies. The DLR topology provides a level of communication redundancy that enhances product availability, says its maker, and the DLR also reduces and simplifies network wiring.
maxon motor GP 26 A series planetary gearheads for DC motors
20 June, 2012A series of planetary gearheads for DC motors, developed and manufactured by maxon motor, has been released to close the gap between 22 and 32 diameters in the range of power-optimised gearheads. The GP 26 A series offers the same modularity, precision and power as previous generations, but with higher permissible loads.
CompactLogix programmable automation controllers
22 May, 2012Rockwell Automation’s CompactLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs) are designed to meet the growing need for a higher-performance controller in a compact package. As part of the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system, the controllers use the same programming software, network protocol and information capabilities as all Logix controllers, providing a common development environment for control disciplines.
ELAP MEM-Bus encoders
01 May, 2012The ELAP MEM-Bus encoders with direct interface to either CAN open or PROFIBUS network are available both in single and in multiturn versions. The singleturn encoder resolution is 13 bit, while for the multiturn type the resolution value is 29 bit (8192 steps/revolution x 65,536 revolutions).
Why test your 40/100G network? 10 things you need to know
01 May, 2012The exponential growth, expanding bandwidth demand and delivery requirements in global networking for video, voice and data applications are accelerating at a speed never before seen. For many, the original transport backbone architecture built on 10G wavelengths is at the threshold of capacity. Higher-speed 40G and 100G are the next-generation transport solutions that enable and define future success for service providers, network equipment manufacturers and a growing number of enterprises. Recognising the right steps of due diligence, which include testing, can ensure the delivery of all the benefits expected of this game-changing solution.
Spirent puts performance and scale of Juniper Networks’ QFabric to the test
20 April, 2012Network Test has completed the industry’s first public 1536 port 10 G ethernet test of QFabric, Juniper Networks’ data centre network fabric, using Spirent’s HyperMetrics dX test module. This independent test reflects real-world data centre set-ups, with millions of application flows between any set of ports, and has important implications for cloud computing, storage and financial applications such as high-frequency trading and big data analytics.
Semikron SGB range solid state relays
08 February, 2012The 2-leg/3-phase SGB range relays are designed for controlling three-wired, three-phase loads connected in delta or, if balanced, connected in wye without neutral connection. Two of the three phases are switched by the SSR, the third being directly connected.
