Banner Engineering T30R Radar Sensor



The T30R radar sensor from Banner Engineering is a longer-range alternative to ultrasonic sensors that provides more reliable detection and position feedback in extreme outdoor conditions and other challenging environments.

FEATURES 

  • Features Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) for detection of both stationary and moving targets.
  • More precise and reliable alternative to traditional 24 GHz radar.
  • Detects objects as close as 150mm and can measure with linearity and repeatability less than +/- 1cm.
  • Unaffected by rain, wind, snow, fog, steam, sunlight, and an operating temperature of -40 to +65°C.
  • Crosstalk immunity, allowing for multiple sensors to be mounted in close proximity.

IDEC New Push-In Wiring Terminal Option for HW Switches and SU/SJ Relay Sockets


IDEC has enhanced their popular HW series of switches and pilot lights, as well as the SJ/SU series of relay sockets, with new options for push-in wiring technology, continuing the company’s goal of delivering safe, simple, and smart solutions.

FEATURES

  • IDEC introduces a new push-in wiring terminal option which makes wiring switches and relay sockets easier than ever, and enhances safety and efficiency.
  • Ferrules and solid wires can be connected simply by push-in insertion, without a screwdriver. To remove, a flat-blade screwdriver is inserted in a simple two-action process.
  •  Reduce wiring time by approximately 55% compared to conventional screw terminals.
  • Finger-safe structure and vibration resistance.

Phoenix Contact CHARX connect CCS Charging Inlets for Electric Vehicles

The universal CHARX connect CCS charging inlets from Phoenix Contact enable the AC and DC charging of electric cars and electric utility vehicles – from low charging powers all they way to High Power Charging (HPC). The vehicle charging inlets were originally developed for leading manufacturers in the automotive industry and are already being used in the new generations of electric vehicles. With them, the electric vehicle can be charged continuously with a power of 250kW, and temporarily even up to 500kW.

FEATURES

  • Enables the safe High Power Charging of up to 500kW which makes it possible to charge electric vehicles in just a few minutes, instead of several hours.
  • CCS sockets are the universally suited charging interface for all vehicle types.
  • Charging inlets are equipped with an electromagnetic locking actuator which prevents the connector from being pulled out during the charging process.
  • The external dimensions and screw-connection geometries of the vehicle charging inlets make them extremely compact, and the designs for the CCS type 1 and CCS type 2 are identical.

IDEC MicroSmart FC6A PLCs now support MQTT–The IIoT Protocol

IDEC has released a firmware upgrade that enables MQTT protocol support in its MicroSmart FC6A Plus line of PLCs. The IIoT protocol is supported on Ethernet port 1, so the FC6A can use existing wired, Wi-Fi, or mobile data wireless networking to connect with on-site or cloud-based brokers. No additional hardware is needed. Users can take advantage of the traditional PLC control logic and I/O functionality, or they can use the FC6A as an IIoT data concentrator for many other PLCs and intelligent devices. The FC6A with MQTT supports Amazon Web Services AWS IoT Core today, with future support planned for Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
