Phoenix Contact continues the expansion of the TOOL fox product line with the release of the Cutfox-SP Bolt VDE, SE, and SE LM.
The Cutfox-SP Bolt VDE cutting tool, made with inductively hardened blades, is suitable for precise cutting of bolts, nails, rivets, steel wire, or similar hard materials.
The Cutfox SE and SE LM are hardened and tempered diagonal cutters for superior performance when subject to particular strain. The SE LM diagonal cutters offer stripping, crimping, and bending functions, as well as screw pincers up to M3.5/M4.

Phoenix Contact introduces the PTRV terminal block, allowing up to 32 connections in an 8.3mm profile. The compact PTRV marshaling terminals are used to marshal signals in automation applications in a clearly arranged manner. The wiring of a large number of conductors is simplified through levels, which can be designed individually based on color. Together with the front wiring, this helps to prevent errors in connection.
TECHNICAL DATA
- Current rating - 10A (UL)
- Voltage - 300V (UL)
- Wire range - 26-14 stranded/solid
FEATURES
- Maximum signal density and up to 20% less space required, thanks to the compact design
- Freely configurable color assignment terminal points, enabling intuitive and safe installation
- Convenient testing by means of freely accessible 2.5mm test connections
- Large-surface, pitch-free marking for matrix identification
- Potential distribution versions, with up to 32 connections on the same block
E-T-A is pleased to announce the introduction of the Module 18Plus Power Distribution System.
The 18plus power distribution system is a complete mounting and power distribution system with state-of-the-art push-in technology for DIN rail mounting that provides panel builders with:
- Modularity: Engineers specify the system configuration based on their application
- Flexibility: Side by side mounting of single pole plug-in circuit breakers with various technologies
- Efficiency: Integral power distribution – additional connecting terminals and connection cables
Pepperl+Fuchs extends its WirelessHART portfolio with the "BULLET”. This loop-powered WirelessHART adapter enables new and existing wired 4 mA … 20 mA and HART field devices to communicate measurement, diagnostic, and parameterization data wirelessly. It is the only WirelessHART adapter on the market with an explosion proof Ex d housing and is suitable for use in explosion hazardous areas up to Zone 1/21, Class I, Div. 1 (also available as an intrinscally safe version for use in Zone 0 and a general purpose version).
An extremely rugged aluminum housing contains all electronic components, including the antenna – the unit is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions in process plants. The BULLET is permanently installed by attaching it directly or via conduit fitting to an Ex d field device or by being mounted on a junction box. Additionally, the Ex i version of the BULLET is also suitable for use with intrinsically safe field devices.
When using the BULLET, no additional battery is needed. Connection of HART devices is possible as well as connection of 4 mA … 20 mA devices, enabling flexible adaptation to changing application requirements.
The BULLET supplies itself with energy from the 4 mA … 20 mA current loop, using a special technology called “StepVolt”. This technology allows users to set insertion voltage from 1 V to 2.5 V in order to optimize the usage of available loop power and wireless communication bandwidth.
The BULLET provides reliable performance even under worst case low-current conditions, where there is very little power available – when using transmitters on very long cable runs or with intrinsically safe barriers. In scenarios where more power is available, the BULLET provides a higher amount of WirelessHART packets per second, leading to an increased performance of the overall WirelessHART network.
The BULLET is equipped with a powerful multidrop feature that significantly lowers the cost of adding devices to an existing WirelessHART network. With a single BULLET, up to eight field devices can be multidropped. This is especially useful for monitoring tank farms and pipelines.
FEATURES
- Only Ex d certified loop-powered WirelessHART adapter on the market, suitable for use in explosion-hazardous areas up to Zone 1/21, Class I, Div. 1
- Rugged Ex d aluminum housing with fully encased antenna for harsh environments
- Handles both 4 mA … 20 mA and HART field devices, giving flexibility in applications
- StepVolt technology makes very low voltage drop possible
- Multidrop of up to eight field devices with a single BULLET saves network extension costs
Turck is expanding its portfolio of capacitive sensors, now offering 18mm and 30mm capacitive barrel sensors with teachable capabilities. The new offering comes in two variants – teach by wire or teach by button.
The teach by button variant can be taught by a single press of a button, saving valuable installation and configuration time. Both present and absent media can be taught for a higher sensitivity teach. The variant without a push button can be taught either by a teach adapter or teach by wire (pin 5), which allows for a tamper-resistant installation. Each variant is available in either PNP or NPN.
The 18 mm housed version offers a 5 mm sensing range when flush mounted and a 7.5 mm range when not flush mounted. The 30 mm housed version offers a 10 mm sensing range when flush mounted, with a sensing range of 15 mm when not flush mounted. The expanded offering can be switched between NC and NO, and provides optical programming feedback through LEDs.

Phoenix Contact introduces a new configurable, freely adjustable, analog-to-frequency transducer with additional switching output and limit-value functionality. This latest addition to the MINI Pro Analog family can convert standard analog signals to frequency signals or to pulse-width-modulated signals (PWM signals). Current signals between 0-24mA and voltage signals between 0-12V can be processed on the input side. Frequency signals between 0-11kHz and PWM signals between 0-100% are possible on the output side.
In addition, the output can also be operated as a switching output, which means that two switching thresholds can be set independently of one another. The minimum measuring span is 1mA and 0.5V. Full accuracy is maintained with a measuring span greater than 10mA and 5V. You can configure the device using one of the free software solutions. Default settings can also be made directly on the device by simply using the DIP switches. The measuring transducer supports fault monitoring and NFC communication.
FEATURES
- MINI Pro housing features
- Frequency output can be used as second switching output as an option
- Freely adjustable input and output
- Screw or push-in connection available
- Can be supplied with customer-specific configuration or default configuration
- Reinforced Safe isolation (3kV) according to IEC 61010-1
- Wide power circuit input range of 9.6 to 30VDC makes for easy implementation into 12V
battery-powered or remote systems
- Conformance and Approvals: CE, UL CID2, ATEX, EAC
Phoenix Contact's RAD-RS485-IFS head station enables multipoint I/O multiplexing or Modbus RTU bus coupler operation over a dedicated wired network using Radioline platform I/O. The small form factor, hardened I/O, and the hot-swap functionality make this platform ideal for harsh environments that may not be suited for Inline systems.
In addition, the RAD-RS485-IFS is easy to configure for multipoint I/O mapping using the same method as the wireless Radioline products. No software is required for simple setups, and it uses PSI-Conf software for diagnostics or advanced setups.
FEATURES
- Easy setup via thumbwheels -- no software required
- Advanced setup and diagnostics available using PSI-CONF software
- Multiplex up to 99 stations over a wired RS-485 network
- Radioline platform compatibility
TECHNICAL DATA
- Extended temperature (-40° to 70°C)
- Isolated, hot-swappable, modular I/O
- Hazardous location approvals, including ATEX, IECEx and Class I, Division 2
APPLICATIONS
- Process monitoring and control for level, temperature, and flow
- Consolidation of remote I/O signals
- Simple I/O replacement
