Red Lion Controls CSTC8ISO Thermocouple Module
Red Lion continues to expand the application capabilities of their Modular Controller Series with the addition of the new CSTC8ISO, 8 input thermocouple module. You might say, wait you already have an 8 input TC module and you would be correct. While both modules offer isolation between the core and the module, the new CSTC8ISO takes it a step further by offering full isolation between each of the inputs. This is particularly useful in applications where there are ground loops or a high degree of electrical noise on the various TC inputs connected to the module. This isolation prevents "cross talk" from one input to the other improving display and control accuracy. In addition, the isolation voltage was increased from 500 Vrms on the current model (CSTC8000) to 1000 Vrms on this new module. Not every application requires isolation between the inputs, but when it does the new CSTC8ISO is ready for the job.

Banner Engineering Illuminated Base Flush Mount E-Stop Buttons
The Banner Engineering Flush Mount E-Stop buttons are ideal for various emergency stop safety applications. The easy-to-install E-Stops are available with two color: yellow (or green) and red lighting, or one color: red lighting only for bright and highly visible status indication. The EZ-LIGHT® logic provides an illuminated (e.g. yellow) base when the button is armed and the machine is in RUN mode, and turns to a flashing (or solid) red whenever the button is pushed. The base of an armed button can also turn to a steady red (from yellow or green) when a STOP condition exists by applying an external signal.
The E-Stops are available with standard 40 mm actuator or a 44 mm lockable actuator. The lockable style actuator can provide supervisory or personal control and is intended to prevent unauthorized or accidental resetting of a pushed button by applying a padlock once the button is actuated. It is important to note that the lockable models are not to be used as an energy isolating device or as the sole means of complying with Lockout/Tagout.
FEATURES
- Push-to-stop, twist-to-release (both styles) or pull-to-release (standard actuator) operation per IEC60947-5-5.
- Latching design complies with ISO 13850; direct (positive) opening operation per IEC 60947-5-1.
- Safe Break Action ensures NC contacts will open if the contact block is separated from the actuator
- Multiple buttons can be interfaced and series connected with CSS Series Hookup Cordsets
- Compliant with ANSI B11.19, ANSI NFPA79, and IEC/EN 60204-1 Emergency Stop requirements
- Models with EZ-LIGHT® logic indication with yellow or green and red (flash or solid) indication of actuation (armed or depressed/latched button) and machine status (solid red - optional) allows for easy identification of the status or the E-Stop button.
- 8-pin M12/Euro-style Quick Disconnect with 2NC and a PNP NO auxiliary output, and 5-pin QD models with 2NC designed to interface with Safety BUS nodes/gateways.
- Easy installation with no assembly, individual wiring or additional enclosure required
- Reduces intensive labor costs with a fully enclosed E-Stop button ready for installation
- Rugged design rated to IP65.
- “Emergency Stop” legend label included.
Edwards Signaling Polaris LED Beacons
Edwards PolarisTM Class LED beacons are NEMA Type 4X and IP66 rated visual signals designed for indoor and outdoor applications. The units are available in Edwards’ 57 and 94 Series housing in 12-24V DC, 24V AC, 120V AC and are field configurable with seven flash patterns, including steady-on, utilizing a “Hidden In Plain Sight” (HIPS) switch.
The inner, double fresnel lens is made of a high grade polycarbonate and is designed to magnify the ultra-bright LED’s inside. A clear, outer, impact-resistant polycarbonate dome offers additional protection against accidental impacts with machinery or falling objects. It also acts as a protective and simple to clean “dust and residue” cover.
The Polaris Class beacons are designed to be mounted on 3/4 inch NPT conduit (indoor or outdoor). To maintain the NEMA and IP ratings for outdoor installation, the beacon must be mounted with the dome facing directly up. When installing the beacon indoors in dry environments, it can be mounted in any position. The 94 Series housing has a cast base that can function as a junction box.
The Polaris Class is designed for industrial or commercial applications that require the longevity of an LED combined with the brightness of a xenon strobe. These units are very effective in high noise areas where ear protection is worn or audible signals may not be heard.

Pepperl+Fuchs LGS Light Grids
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces LGS Series light grids. The LGS series features a slim IP67 enclosure housing with the control unit integrated into the receiver module, uncomplicated plug-and-play mounting plus software-free and PC-free programming. As a result the LGS series is an easy-to-install, commission and operate sensing solution ideally suited for warehousing, material handling, packaging and general automation applications. Advanced functions such as object identification and height monitoring capability – features typically found only on significantly more expensive sensing devices – enable users to significantly simplify many typical automation tasks.
“LGS series light grids come with a range of noteworthy functions previously found only on much more expensive devices, including lightning speed object detection even with beam crossover enabled, the option of not just detecting objects but identifying them too, and even remotely communicating data via an IO-Link interface,” says Michael Turner, Product Manager, Pepperl+Fuchs. “Even if one or two beams are permanently obstructed due to circumstances in the application, they can be ignored with the beam blanking function. At startup the signal strength is automatically adjusted and optimized for the environmental conditions making switching more reliable and enabling faster response times.”
The feature-rich and cost effective design of the LGS series makes it an ideal solution for applications ranging from the simple to the complex. Examples of relatively simple applications include monitoring an area for falling objects, ejection control and the detection of parts as small as 4mm. Examples of more advanced applications include overhang detection or web sag and height monitoring. Using the integrated height monitoring function, up to 3 levels of control can be set with the touch field. More complex application examples include object or hole profiling, where objects can not only be detected but identified using the integrated object identification function. In any of these applications, programming and detection is accomplished quickly and easily without requiring a PC and without using software.
“LGS light grids can be programmed using a capacitive touch field located on the receiver, and no PC software is required. In fact the LGS Series is the first sensor in its class to enable programming and configuration utilizing a modern capacitive touch screen. Even if the user’s hands are dirty or lightly gloved, it takes just one finger or a thumb to configure the various built in functions.” says Turner. “And unlike the consumer electronics type, the LGS touch field is designed to withstand the normal and often unfavorable conditions found in the industrial world.”
The range of operating modes and features can help improve productivity by enabling new detection solutions. Three separate height switching outputs control object height or tension checks and enable the LGS to detect or report three height profiles. Using flexible teach-in options these light grids can identify objects via their geometry, including objects with gaps and openings, when they are moving or in a fixed position.
Commissioning and operation are similar to standard photoelectric sensors – users simply position the transmitter and receiver opposite each other and signal calibration occurs automatically. Desired features are set without any software, and an innovative touch field with illuminated pictograms facilitates quick and easy step-by-step programming without a PC. Standby mode minimizes energy consumption and maximizes service life in applications where the light grids are not in continuous operation.
LGS light grids are available in customizable lengths from 100 mm to 3,200 mm, a broad range of resolutions from 8 mm up to 100 mm and provide reliable operation in temperatures as low as -30 degrees C. Response time varies from 2 ms to 20 ms depending on the number of beams (4 beams to 253 beams) in the light grid.
