Weidmüller's portfolio of products offers a broad spectrum of innovative and reliable components for installing photovoltaic systems. Designed specifically for use in photovoltaic systems Weidmüller offers two different versions of its 'WM4' plug connector – field and device/enclosure connectors. Operating solar systems demands reliability, safety and first-class performance of all the products – from the modules right down to individual connectors. Low contact resistance, first class workmanship and easy handling are distinguishing features indicating the right choice of connector. And it is exactly these requirements that both versions of the 'WM4' plug connector for photovoltaic systems fulfil. Not only are they supplied in proven Weidmüller quality they are also compatible with most connector mating profiles on the market today. 'WM4' plug connectors are designed with a huge connection capacity: a single crimp contact suffices to connect 4 mm² and 6 mm² conductor cross-sections. 'WM4' plug connectors are rated for current loads of up to 30 A. The rated voltage is 1000 VDC (IEC). When mated the 'WM4' field connector is sealed to IP 67 and the device/enclosure connector to IP 65. The 'WM4' is TUV approved and DIN EN 50521 compliant.
VEGAPULS WL 61 is the first radar level sensor developed especially for the water/sewage sector. Compared to classic measuring techniques, such as ultrasonic, this modern technology delivers far more reliable measurement data and has proven highly successful in everyday operation.
In addition to numerous other innovations, mayr® power transmission is to present a large disengaging torque limiting clutch for torques of up to 280,000 Nm at the Hannover Trade Fair. This large clutch for heavy engineering is combined with curved tooth couplings for the connection of two shafts.
Lenze's tried and tested ECS servo system can now be ordered with a clock-synchronised EtherCAT interface. Combined with the new L-force Controller 3200 C for central control architectures, even the most demanding motion tasks in terms of number of axes and precision required can be solved effectively and economically.
The EKS Light from EUCHNER is a transponder-based access control system consisting of two components: an Electronic-Key with RFID transponder and an Electronic-Key adapter with integral read unit. The EKS Light was designed particularly for smaller, decentralized applications to permit reliable controlled access to individual machines or to entire installations there as well. The new FSA version of the EKS Light was specially developed to solve the widespread problem involving tampering of safety guards.
NORD Drivesystems supplies PROFINET modules for the integration of frequency inverters into PROFINET environments. In the second quarter of 2011, NORD introduced new modular units for cabinet-mounted SK 500E inverters while a version for distributed SK 200E-type inverters will follow in the fourth quarter.
The new 2-port version of Anybus CompactCom for Modbus TCP is not only a fast and easy way for industrial device manufacturers to achieve connectivity to Modbus TCP. It is also a way to reduce the need for expensive external switches and cut down on factory wiring since the module comes with a built-in switch of its own.
B&R and Maplesoft announced a partnership that will bring together products from both companies to save time, effort and cost for hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
ISaGRAF, the leading automation software technology partner has released ISaGRAF version 6.0.1, which includes a free version of ISaGRAF 6. ISaGRAF is the industry-leading IEC 61131-3 and IEC 61499 compliant firmware and workbench for building industrial automation products.
