With the Compact Flash floppy drive (CFF 011), SIGMATEK offers an alternative, operating system-independent device. This allows the PC to be easily updated with the latest data storage technology. With the CFF 011, the data from up to 99 floppy dis...

The new stationary 1D/2D code readers are characterized by their high reading reliability and speed as well as by diverse communication and connection possibilities. A primary use of the compact Simatic MV440 code-reading systems, which feature high protection rating IP67, is for reading data matrix codes such as direct part marks (DPMs) on objects under difficult ambient conditions in an industr...

Siemens's Industry Automation Division has produced a new inductive proximity switch for the precise analog and dynamic measurement of distances from metal objects. The Simatic PXI920 has a compact M12 frame size and a high IP67 degree of protection. It measures object distances from 0 to 3 millimeters at a frequency of 250 hertz. Values of between 0 and 10 volts, proportional to the measured dista...

Based on AMR market and other data transmission requirements inland or overseas, We have designed and developed a series product FC-221 series which consists of several models for using in different conditions. FC-221 series is based on narrow-band RFIC technolog...

Libratherm offers micro-controller based Process Transmitter model PTX-3000 for measuring and transmitting the analogue and digital values proportional to the Process Input. This model can accept universal input, which is user selectable using internal DIP switch. Three options are available, where user can specify the desired model for universal input or any of the two fixed input or any of the si...

A fundamental part in the efficient and safe maintenance of a process plant these days, isn't just the use of new software tools but more often the need to access to the right information quickly. Be it operating manuals, technical information, spare part details or specific certificates then when you maintain you need to be able to find the right document in an effective way. With the launch of "W...

Friendcom has launched a new model named FC-203SA in the end of 2008. It is a low cost good performance radio module. Its RF power is 2W. The standard frequency band is 150-170Mhz (FCC certification is in progress) or 223-235MHz. It can be customized to UHF frequency band too. It’s an analogue radio module, but it can transmit 9600bps data via TTL interface as well. The module is capable of connect...

STEPPER POWER FOR LIMITED SPACE REQUIREMENTS: The SM-Vxx stepper module is intended for all users who want to integrate a high power density drive into their application. The module is complete, meaning all “critical“ components are already integrated. Therefore special power drive know is not essential. Integration into a user circuit is simple and easy. All signals are connected via pin rows. Th...

TRM has developed a control system kit that replaces stepping motors for new servo motors at a fraction of the cost of what it used to be few years ago. As servo motors have come down in price, making the change from stepping motor to servo motors has technical and financial sense. By using servo motors the machine is more accurate and more reliable, this mean higher production output and lower re...

Unitronics' new Jazz® models offer an exceptionally cost-effective solution for temperature control—a low-cost PLC with an embedded HMI and direct Temperature Measurement Inputs. If your system or process requires temperature measurement, you are familiar with the dilemma—should you use a PID controller, or a high-level PLC that includes PID functionality? The PID controller is cheaper… but you m...
