TURCK released a new QR24 rotary inductive sensor to expand programmability for industrial
applications and improve rotary position feedback for the mobile equipment market. The QR24 for mobile equipment features
a low operating voltage of 8-30 VDC with 0.5 – 4.5 V output. This technology is immune to vibrations and interference, ensuring
accuracy and longevity to avoid replacement downtime and comes in an IP68/IP69K rated housing to protect against moisture and
dust in demanding environments.
All QR24 sensors use resistance inductive capacitance (RLC) measuring technology to process and communicate position. Each
sensor is manufactured with printed emitter and receiver coil systems fully potted within the housing. When the emitter coils are
activated with a high-frequency AC field, they produce an inductive RLC circuit with the positioning element. The position of that
element is processed based on the induced signal to the receiver coils in the sensors.
For mobile equipment and industrial applications, this wear-free technology is ideal when applied directly to the shaft of a motor
to provide superior accuracy for position feedback. In conjunction with RLC technology, TURCK’s QR24 rotary inductive sensors
provide high-resolution and 16-bit noiseless operation. The double resonator system offers increased distance capability and highend
signal processing with a multicore microprocessor for enhanced speed.

Red Lion Controls, the global experts in communication, monitoring and control for industrial automation and networking, today announced its Sixnet® series RAM® industrial cellular RTUs now feature a web-based user-configurable event engine that can trigger I/O and relays or send SMS text messages based on real-time operational data. With connectivity options such as I/O, serial, Ethernet and optional Wi-Fi, RAM RTUs easily integrate with existing equipment to provide a remote monitoring M2M solution that performs reliable local control and alerts personnel of critical events.
With an intuitive web-based, menu-driven interface that requires no knowledge of programming languages, the powerful RAM event engine can quickly be configured to trigger actions when pre-defined alarm values are met. For example, if a tank level is too high or a pressure level is out of range, the RAM event engine will not only cycle a relay to stop a pump or close a valve, but can also send text message notifications to alert when actions should be taken. This function helps automation engineers, technicians, production managers and network operators make critical decisions.
“With the addition of the web-based event engine, the RAM cellular RTU becomes an all-in-one platform for remote monitoring and control,” said Paul Bunnell, product manager at Red Lion Controls. “This versatile solution takes the complexity out of configuring events and notification without requiring additional equipment.”
By providing data visibility, control and real-time notifications on field-deployed equipment and processes, the RAM platform enables vertical markets such as oil and gas, utilities, water/wastewater and alternative energy to take advantage of the benefits associated with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). With hardened metal enclosures, a wide operating temperature range and industry certifications to ensure safe operation in hazardous locations, RAM cellular RTUs securely monitor remote devices via 4G LTE cellular communications to enable reliable operation in critical environments.

To answer the need for cables that can withstand the harshest cold weather environments
imaginable; TURCK announces a new platform cable offering, extremelife-60. Designed with a specially engineered proprietary
cable jacket material, these cables remain flexible enough to work with even at -40°C and carry UL -60°C cold bend and UL/
CSA -40°C cold impact listings as well as an FT4 flame rating. No other cable on the market combines these achievements in a
single cable solution; this makes the extremelife-60 an unrivaled solution for extreme cold weather applications even in harsh
environments. The extremelife-60 cables are available in a wide variety of AWG sizes, constructions, conductor counts, and cable
jacket colors.
“There are many cold weather applications that can be challenging to find the right cable solution. There are cables that do
perform well in the cold, but often don’t come with any approvals. With the help of our internal cable design team, we’ve come up
with a solution that has an FT4 flame rating, UV resistance, oil resistance, and the proper approvals for use in hazardous locations,
all while being able to be used in really cold and harsh environments.” Said Jay Bartsias, senior product manager for TURCK. “All of
these attributes in one cable is something that has never really been done before. Our customers can feel confident that they are
getting the best cable solution for their most difficult applications.”
In addition to its cold bend, cold impact and flame ratings the extremelife-60 cables also have ITC and PLTC approval from UL, as
well as CIC approval from CSA which makes these cables code compliant for NEC and CEC Class 1 Division 2 hazardous location
applications. Furthermore, TURCK’s extremelife-60 cables carry Oil Res I and Oil Res II approvals and are UL listed for exposed run
(ER) and direct burial. This means the cables pass the exact crush and impact tests as metal clad cable; but without metal cladding.
With the rugged construction, combination of approvals, and flexible cable jacket that will not break or crack even when pulled or
bent in extreme cold these cables are a logical fit for cold weather oil and gas installations where flexibility in the cold along with
a UL/CSA listed and hazardous location rated jacket has always been a challenge. All of these attributes combine to bring a cable
that will result in less downtime and more cost savings in a fully compliant offering.
