TURCK announces a new long-range inductive
proximity sensor using FDA rated materials for wash
down applications. The Q42—available in a top-facing
model and front-facing model—is an addition to
the uprox+ family of factor one sensors that require
no correction factor to detect any metal type. The
Q42 is designed to deliver optimal performance in
applications that require frequent cleaning with
chemicals found in food and beverage applications
or where the sensor is exposed to wet environments,
such as car washes or outdoor applications.
The Q42 features an improved design with a durable
stainless steel connector and PA12 thermoplastic
housing that delivers resistance to chemicals and
caustic cleaning agents, as well as shock from impact.
Additionally, the upgraded housing materials are
food-safe and meet FDA Regulation 21CFR 177,
1500(9) for the U.S. and FDA/EGVO 1935/2004 for the
E.U. The Q42 features integrated predamping that
gives the designer flexibility to partially recess the
sensor into their design.
The existing uprox+ washdown family is comprised
of 12, 18 and 30mm diameter barrels with sensing
ranges between 4 and 30mm. The Q42 offers a
sensing range of 50mm to all types of metals. This
not only eliminates the need to change the position
of the sensors for different metal applications, but
also reduces the number of sensor types needed for
plant operations. In addition to an extended sensing
distance, the Q42 delivers reliable operation in
temperatures ranging from -40 to 100 degrees Celsius.

The RTY Series Hall-Effect Rotary Position Sensors provide angle monitoring in harsh transportation and industrial applications at a competitive cost.
These products use a magnetically biased, Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) to sense rotary movement of the actuator shaft over a set operating range. Rotation of the actuator shaft changes a magnet’s position relative to the IC. The resulting flux density change is converted to a linear output.
The IC, together with conditioning and protection circuitry, and the permanent magnet, is sealed in an IP67-qualified rugged package for durability in most harsh environments.
Eight operating ranges (50°, 60°, 70°, 90°, 120°, 180°, 270° and 360°) are tolerant to over-travel and allow use in most common applications. Low voltage and high voltage versions cover an input voltage range of 4.5 Vdc to 30 Vdc.
Most applications require no lever, and no brackets are necessary.

Early UPS solutions for industrial control cabinets were only basic units that performed a battery back-up function in the event of a main line power loss. These units could not indicate the condition of the connected battery. The new QUINT UPS-IQ from Phoenix Contact brings the market an intelligent product with extended visibility into the status of the batteries.
The QUINT UPS-IQ provides a robust, pure sine wave output in contrast to other UPS products that are only a modified step wave output. The pure sine wave ensures a high quality, clean output that can reliably power 120 V AC industrial components. This AC unit auto-detects the input voltage of either 120 V AC or 240 V AC, making this a product for global use.
To simplify system troubleshooting or startup, this AC UPS can start independent of an AC input. This allows users to power up an industrial PC or controller during a blackout to simplify system diagnostics. Basically, users can switch to battery mode anytime they want with no AC present.
The AC voltage QUINT UPS-IQ solution is a truly industrial UPS platform. It is UL 1778-recognized, which is specific for industrial AC UPS products. With this approval and its small size, the QUINT UPS is ideal for factory floor installations.
The QUINT UPS-IQ (AC) is also a truly scalable system with the batteries. By having external batteries, the solution can be built up using the size battery needed for the runtime required. This eliminates buying a large, self-contained unit just for the runtime. This solution uses the same batteries as the currently available QUINT UPS- IQ DC UPS product range. Using these new batteries allows for easy, “tool-less” battery replacement making maintenance easy.
This product will be utilized wherever and whenever battery backup is needed and in mission-critical
systems that cannot lose power. IQ technology makes QUINT UPS-IQ unique by providing adaptive
battery management on several levels:
- State of Charge (SOC): Indicates the remaining backup time and level of charge on the battery.
Customers will be able to see the amount of available time left at a quick glance.
- State of Health (SOH): Indicates the remaining service life of the battery module(s). The history of the
battery module(s) is recorded and an indication is provided of when the battery needs to be replaced
before it becomes a concern.
- State of Function (SOF): Indicates the capacity of the battery module(s). The available capacity of
the battery is provided giving indication as to how well the battery is accepting the charge and if the full
capacity is still available.
The SMS relay enclosure is an all-in-one solution for reliable, compact remote control and signaling. The enclosure is shipped with surge protection for the entire cabinet, power distribution terminal block, SMS cellular relay, and pre-wired terminal blocks for all the inputs and outputs. To simplify ordering, the entire package is available with just one part number.
The user can monitor and control six configurable analog/digital inputs and four relay outputs with NO/NC contacts using SMS messages via any GSM mobile phone network. Each change of status at the input sends a user-defined message to the selected maintenance personnel via text message. A predefined message can be used to enable and disable the outputs via text message. This makes it easy to acknowledge and even remove errors remotely.
Fields of application:
- Pumps, water supply, waste water
- Alarming
- Machine, building and system monitoring
- Intrusion detection
- Remote switchgears
Phoenix Contact now offers the
only line of pluggable terminal blocks
with ATEX, Ex certification.
If systems are installed in potentially explosive areas, a great number of
safety precautions must be taken. The requirements of Part 7 IEC 60079 for
increased air and creepage distances, heating behavior, aging resistance and insulation capacity of the materials have been certified.
