HMS Networks now releases a new version of the Ixxat SafeT100 module allowing users to implement safe I/Os for FSoE – Functional Safety over EtherCAT. Previously available for PROFIsafe and CIP Safety, the new version supports Functional Safety over EtherCAT according to ETG 5100 V1.2.0.

Nord Drivesystems says the use of decentralised drive solutions with controlled frequency inverters can achieve cost benefits of up to 50% in end-of-line packaging depending on the type of system and application. And the company has written a white paper on the topic.

The new VL3 UPC ultra-compact industrial computer from Phoenix Contact features a sixth generation Intel Atom processor in dual-core or quad-core versions, the latest DDR4 RAM, and integrated preinstalled non-volatile memory express solid-state memory modules.

Buttkereit is playing a big part in the drive for safer working environments in food factories by extending its comprehensive range of cable management systems that are ATEX approved.

Medical technology systems must ensure safety and patient comfort but also meet documentation and cost requirements during production. To meet these demands, you can rely on rotary encoders, angle encoders, linear encoders, and slip rings from HEIDENHAIN, AMO, LTN, NUMERIK JENA, RENCO and RSF.

Mechan Controls is proud to introduce a new range of mechanical machine guarding safety products, the MK-Safe range. This is a trapped key system that is simple and effective.

The control cabinet solutions in the Complete line series from Phoenix Contact provide time and cost savings for the assembly, commissioning, and maintenance of control cabinets.

The PCAP technology is currently the most common input medium for multitouch applications. However, there are certain applications that still require resistive touch technology. What is the reason for choosing the resistive multi-touch technology? In which applications will it be used? We asked the experts at Schurter.

Sensor Technology has launched a new encoder option, the SGR523, for use with its range of precision torque sensors. The new option represents a significant improvement of the existing SGR511/521 60 line encoder and SGR 512/522 360 line encoder options already available.
