Current indicator terminal blocks with push-in connection

Faults or cable interrupts can be clearly identified in the operating state with the new PTTB 2,5-ILA 100 current indicator terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact. The voltage drop is evaluated at a Zener diode in reverse direction and is indicated by an LED. The circuit diagram printing enables clear identification and minimises faulty wiring.

New release CENTUM VP R6.05 Integrated Production Control System

Yokogawa Electric Corporation is releasing the CENTUM VP R6.05, an enhanced version of its flagship integrated production control system. This CENTUM release features a new processor module with a Yokogawa designed microprocessor that employs large-scale integration (LSI). By using this system LSI in place of a commercially available product, Yokogawa eliminates the disruptions that can occur when a product is modified or discontinued. This release also features an improved engineering function that speeds up project execution by achieving savings in configuration and installation time. These enhancements cover the entire control system lifecycle, from installation and start-up to end of service.

Robust 3D camera with IP65/67 for harsh ambient conditions

With the X30 FA and X36 FA, IDS is launching two more models from its Ensenso X 3D camera system. Both new models are specifically designed for use in harsh ambient conditions. All components fulfil the requirements of the IP65/67 protection class and are therefore effectively protected against dirt, dust, water splashes, or cleaning agents. The 3D camera system combines a powerful projection module with a Gigabit Ethernet switch and two GigE uEye FA cameras with a 1.3 megapixel CMOS sensor that can be mounted at different distances. In addition to the baseline, the viewing angle and focal distance can also be freely selected, thus allowing the system to be individually tailored to any 3D-vision requirement.
