Honeywell Sensing and Control Hawk 1-Inch Series Resolvers

Honeywell's Hawk™ 1-Inch Series Resolvers are durable, accurate, and reliable absolute position sensors that provide non-contact measurement for 360° sensing under severe environmental conditions. Their wide operating temperature range, shock and vibration specifications, use of magnetic principles so that performance is not impacted by media such as sand, dust, or water, and the use of space-qualified materials allow for potential use in harsh defense and aerospace applications. Additionally, Hawk Resolvers can be manufactured and delivered up to 1.5 times faster than many competitive products, helping customers minimize production time.

Turck CAT6 RJ45 Field Wireable Connector

TURCK's new CAT6 RJ45 field wireable connector provides a simple and secure way to extend an Ethernet cable in the field. Whether connecting a peripheral device, repairing/replacing a cable link or extending the network cable, the field wireable allows an on-stie assembly with no special tools for up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks.

The CAT6 RJ45 field wireable consists of two pieces: a color coded adapter and an Ethernet connector. The connector integrates three strain relief settings suitable for cable diameters from 5 to 9 mm, and is shielded to protect the cable from EMC interference.

Pepperl+Fuchs ENX Series AS-Interface Gateways

Pepperl+Fuchs introduces ENX Series AS-Interface Gateways. The ENX series supports both Modbus/TCP and Ethernet/IP protocols for seamless communication with standard and safety networks in a single gateway. They also include a number of advanced features for enhanced network performance and diagnostics retrieval.

“These gateways provide significantly more than just an easy transition from Ethernet to AS-Interface. Where in the past two separate gateways were required to connect to Modbus/TCP and Ethernet/IP, with ENX the entire AS-Interface network is controlled by a single, very powerful, AS-Interface gateway,” says Tim Cicerchi, Product Manager, Industrial Bus and ID Systems, Pepperl+Fuchs.

With ENX gateways, 992 I/O are handled asynchronous to the Ethernet traffic. These fast gateways also scan every AS-i node in 150µs, which enables up to 62 safety e-stops, magnetic switches, and safe outputs to be in one easy to use safety program.

Single master, dual master and dual master with built in safety monitor versions are available to satisfy various AS-Interface application requirements. All models come standard with integrated duplicate address, noise, and ground fault detection functionality. Dual network versions feature redundant power supply connections where either power supply can fail, and the gateway will continue to run while reporting the error to the upper level system.

Options of note include a 16-channel safety version with up to 4 onboard safety channels, where up to 16 channels can be remotely activated using safe output modules. An available memory card enables users to quickly and easily program remote gateways, and to transfer a gateway's configuration and safety program from a failed gateway to a replacement.

“The built in memory card is a very innovative approach to reducing downtime. In the past a maintenance engineer or programmer would have to get a laptop out and connect using Ethernet or RS232 serial connections. Only then could a download be made to a new gateway. Now a simple swap of memory cards and a few key presses on the keypad will transfer the data automatically,” explains Cicerchi.

Gateways are modules that form an interface between the AS-Interface and higher-level buses. Users can install gateways to provide a solution for complex applications using standard products. The gateways act as a slave for the higher-level bus.

Pepperl+Fuchs is a world leader in the design, manufacture and application of high quality factory and process automation products and services. Pepperl+Fuchs pioneered the development of proximity sensors 50 years ago, and has set the standard for innovation and quality ever since.

Banner Engineering VSM Series Heavy-Duty Miniature Sensors

The VSM robust metal sensors are a complement to Banner Engineering's already popular and extensive line of miniature sensors. An extended sensing range and tiny stainless steel housing make them an ideal replacement for range limited proximity sensors, and for areas previously only accessible to remote sensors and fiber optic cable. The tightly collimated beam and self-contained housing of the VSM are suitable for very precise, small object sensing applications in the automotive, food and beverage, semiconductor and electronics, assembly, metal stamping and other industries where significant mounting space restrictions are common.

FEATURES

• Tough, 300 series stainless steel body with sapphire lens withstands a wide variety of chemicals.
• Miniature sensors are available as small as a 4mm barrel (about the size of a single optical fiber assembly).
• Economical, self-contained sensors are available in convergent or opposed sensing modes; no separate amplifier required.
• Specially designed optics and electronics provide reliable sensing without adjustments.
• Advanced convergent optical design provides high performance, very repeatable sensing.
• Well-focused, narrow beam allows the entire sensor to be recessed into fixtures.
• Smooth, stainless steel barrel is perfect for hygienic applications requiring routine cleaning.

Banner Engineering WORLD-BEAM Q20 Sensors

The WORLD-BEAM Q20 product line is a complete product offering of high performance sensors in rectangular housings. The Q20 provides excellent optical performance in a world-wide standard sensor housing with 25.4 mm (1 inch) mounting hole spacing. The target markets are material handling, robotic assembly cells, packaging machinery for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical goods, and people detection in turn-styles and gates.

With the addition of the visible red fixed field background suppression models and increased detection range opposed mode sensors, Banner has expanded the number of applications the Q20 series can solve. The high performance optical design of the fixed field Q20 series is evident in the small emitter beam and well focused optics which provide increased sensing range, out to 150 mm (6 inches) and greater immunity to objects beyond the fixed detection range. Combined with electronic immunity to fluorescent light sources, the Q20 fixed field sensors will result in more reliable and more stable detection in all applications.

As a part of Banner’s continuous improvement program, the opposed mode sensor lenses were improved resulting in additional sensing range of 2 m in the visible red models, and an additional 5 m range in the infra-red models. Sensor apertures are available to shape the effective sensing beam to the part being detected, and polarized filter pairs allow multiple opposed mode sensor pairs to be used in close proximity without cross talk.

FEATURES

• Photoelectric sensors in a compact, rugged, sealed, over-molded plastic housing
• Stable and reliable detection in a world-wide sensor housing.
• Fixed Field Background Suppression models have small emitter beam optics to avoid false detection beyond cut-off better than ever before.
• The Fixed Field Background Suppression also incorporate immunity to fluorescent light sources in the background.
• IP67/NEMA 6 & NEMA PW12 1200 PSI washdown rated
• Standard 3 mm threaded mounting holes on 25.4 mm (1") spacing
• Metallic M8 and M12 connectors on “QD” models with a threaded connection to the cord-set
• DC operation from 10 to 30 VDC with complementary solid-state outputs (1 normally open, 1 normally closed); PNP (sourcing) or NPN (sinking) by model
• Complete offering of mounting brackets and apertures available

Emerson/SolaHD SDN-C Power Supplies

SolaHD has introduced two new DIN rail power supplies in the popular line of SDN-C power supplies. Combining a remarkably smaller package with higher efficiency than the existing SDN-P line, these units also have unique visual diagnostic LEDs to show status at a glance. Designed to be a specification-grade unit that can be DIN rail mounted in a control cabinet, the SDN-C units reduce excess heat in the panel due to their high efficiency and Power Factor Correction advanced design.

These new 20A and 40A 24V output units are about 50% smaller than the power supply of the previous generation and feature three phase 380 – 480 inputs. The SDN-C comes equipped with standard screw terminal connections. The metal outer case is rugged, efficiently dissipates heat, and delivers full power in a wide temperature range from -25°C to +60°C.

The SDN-C is backed by a five year limited warranty.
