Turck BL Compact CANopen Modules

TURCK’s BL Compact system is now available for CANopen networks, including modules with analog, digital and RFID signals. Rather than routing all signals through a control cabinet, this device makes it possible to obtain analog, digital, thermocouple, RTD, serial, RFID or a mixture of signal types in a compact, machine-mountable device.

The BL Compact system may be customized to suit a user’s specific needs, so that devices may be added to an existing network and signals may be gathered on the machine without an enclosure. This drop-in solution can be used to connect up to 16 devices—drastically reducing the time it takes to run wires for each device back to the control cabinet and the potential for wiring errors.

The BL Compact system is currently available with four, eight or 16 ports in an environmentally hardened package that is rated for IP 67, 68 and (M12) 69k protection. M8 or M12 connectors facilitate easy installation into any application, existing or new.

IDEC LD6A SignaLight Towers

IDEC's LD6A SignaLights utilize the latest LED technology to provide a bright solution for supervising workstations or indicating the status of a process. These light towers were specifically created with a modern design and unique lens shape, which diffuses light to provide sharper illumination and increased visibility.

Super-bright LEDs with a life of over 30,000 hours provide an intense indication, visible from long distances. Lenses are available in red, yellow, blue, green and pure white, which work with 24V DC base units. Optional clear lenses provide a sharper contrast to help avoid confusion about whether a signal is on or off.

You can also choose between Black or Light Gray housing colors to fit your specific needs.

LD6A light towers are available in steady and steady/flashing/alarm models that pulse at 1.75Hz (105 flashes per minute). Plus two alarm styles are available — Intermittent short sound and Intermittent long sound — both of which provide 360-degree sound and volume adjustment between 70dB and 90dB. These light towers have an ellipse shape and are offered in five different mounting styles including wall mount, frame mount, direct mount, pole mount with base and pole mount with L-shaped bracket. This enables them to be mounted in difficult areas.

All LD6A light towers come prewired and preconfigured, eliminating timeconsuming wiring needs. All colored tiers come with color-coded wires, ready to operate right out of the box without additional assembly and wiring. All units also come with mounting screws and washers.

Steady units are rated IP65 and flashing units are rated IP54, except pole mounted units with L-shaped bracket, which provide IP23 degree of protection. LD6A light towers are UL/c-UL recognized and CE marked. For detailed specifications please see the brochure.

Banner Engineering EZ-LIGHT K80 Call Light

Banner Engineering’s EZ-LIGHT K80 Call Light is a portable, battery-operated Andon light that can be used in locations where access to power is limited or unavailable. Andon lights on machine or production lines indicate operation status, often located overhead for workers or a supervisor to view them.

Features:

• Illuminated dome provides easy-to-see call-for-assistance indication
• Battery powered
• Flashes ON/OFF
• Switch activated
• For “Andon” applications
• No assembly required
• Rugged, cost-effective and easy-to-install

Turck FM Approved Rotational Speed Interface Module

TURCK has enhanced its interface module (IM) family with the FM approved IM21 rotational speed interface module with push button and PC programmable functionality. The ability to program the modules using a PC makes device set-up easier and saves installation time. Additionally, FDT/DTM software, together with PACTware, allows multiple parameters to be set and saved.

Keeping in-line with the current IM series, the new models also incorporate the universal supply voltage feature and removable terminals, which make these easy to install in new or existing systems. The ease of use and structure of this function now allows asset management ability with trending and data logging of values. The IM21 module is also equipped with a two-line transflective LCD display that is easy to read even in bright lighting conditions.

Banner Engineering AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner

The Banner AG4 is a two-dimensional optical measuring safety laser scanner that emits pulses of infrared light to locate and measure the position of objects in its field of view. A single unit that works on the principle of diffuse reflection (i.e., reflected light), the AG4 is an excellent choice for irregularly shaped safeguarding in applications where a standard two- or three-piece safety light screen will not work.

Features:

• Two-dimensional laser scanner effectively protects personnel, as well as stationary and mobile systems within a user designated area.
• Persons or objects entering the protection field will be detected and a protective (safety) stop signal will be generated.
• The highly flexible protective and warning fields can be set to match the shape of the work area.
• Compact design, simple installation and easy-to-use software provide efficient integration into work zones.
• Two solid-state OSSD safety outputs (250 mA) and two solid-state auxiliary outputs (100 mA).
• Low power consumption (420 mA @ 24V dc) and a very forgiving supply range (24V dc +20%/-30%) require fewer or smaller power supplies, reducing power consumption.
• Five LED diagnostic display presents system status and diagnostics of devices without connecting to a PC.
• Rugged, die-cast aluminum housing withstands the rigor of factory floors.
• System meets all requirements for Type 3 per IEC 61496-1/-2 Category 3 PLd per EN ISO 13849-1, and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 per IEC 61508.
