The Phoenix Contact INTERFACE group introduces six new universal temperature transducers. These new additions to the MACX MCR family are loop-powered and have two channels.
The new modules include two non-Ex and two Ex i versions in two different mounting formats: head-mount and DIN rail-mount. The temperature transmitters support more than 28 different temperature sensors, plus the modules will also accept -20mV to 100mV and linear resistance ranges from 10 ohms to 2 kohms.
On the output side is a dedicated 4-20mA signal with HART communication. At just 12.5mm wide, the DIN railmountable modules save space in the cabinet. Also available is a head-mount, hockey-puck format with the same wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C. Both Ex and non-Ex DIN-rail mount versions can be ordered preconfigured by the factory, along with certificates of calibration.
The intrinsic safety versions can safely transmit electrical signals from simple temperature sensors in Div. 1 and zone 0 hazardous locations. Because it’s a best practice to convert small, easily distorted temperature signals to a more robust 4-20mA signal as soon possible, the Ex ia versions designed to sit in a Div. 1, zone 0 are close to the sensors themselves. If used in this manner, these modules require another Ex ia 4-20mA repeater (2865340) to get the signal safely out of the Div. 1, zone 0 area.
The MACX Analog isolating transducers were designed for exact conversion, isolation, filtering, and amplification of analog signals. MACX Analog was developed and produced consistently in all phases of the product lifecycle according to SIL specifications for functional safety: That means the highest reliability and safety.
FEATURES
- Up to SIL 2 according to IEC/EN 61508
- Keyed, plug-in connection terminal blocks
- Screw or spring-cage connection technology (Push-in technology7)
- 2.5kV isolation
- Installation in Ex, Div. 2, and zone 1 and 2 permitted

The Turck LS-5 liquid level sensor is a probe-style level sensor that is inserted into a vessel for the purpose of measuring liquid level. The LS-5 liquid level sensor generates a low power electromagnetic pulse that is conducted down the probe. When this pulse contacts a liquid, a portion of that pulse is reflected back to the sensor. The time it takes for this pulse to be transmitted down the probe and reflected back is measured and then converted into a linear distance. This principle of operation is also commonly referred to as guided wave radar (GWR).
FEATURES
- Liquid level detection for both metallic and non-metallic vessels
- Output: 4-20mA/0-10V and switching PNP or NPN
- No moving parts
- Probes can be cut to length to ensure correct insertion depth
- IO-Link 1.1
- Sensing probe ignores deposits
- Suitable for small vessels and difficult vessel geometries
- Minimal programming setup required
- One sensor for both point and continuous level control
- Easy-to-use programming parameters to counter application factors that would render other level sensing technologies unsuitable
- Accessories available to accommodate non-metallic vessels and low dielectric constant fluids
Phoenix Contact's IPD (Installation Power Distribution) takes everyone’s favorite termination, the Push-In, and positions it to reliably connect power through a bulkhead or device enclosure without special tooling. This system combines the bulkhead-mounted base and exterior hood together under a single part number. Simply mount the base, terminate the wires on both sides using Phoenix Contact’s advanced Push-In technology, and seal the outside with the IP66/IP68-rated hood/gland combination.
Using IPD is quick and easy. It requires only a simple M20 or M25 hole in the device for mounting, and is great for applications that are primarily non-disconnect. Designed specifically with the lighting industry in mind, installing lighting fixtures in a variety of configurations is a breeze. The PT termination is perfect for solid core wires typically used inside lighting fixtures. This is especially helpful for assembly facilities incorporating robotics to complete internal wiring termination. At the fixture’s installation point, the external PT termination provides an intuitive wire termination that any installer can utilize. If a fixture needs replacement or maintenance, the PT termination allows for clean removal of the exterior wires, so there is no need to cut and prep wires to be installed in a new fixture.
These are not designed for use on control cabinets, so no UL Type ratings are needed to accompany this certification. However, the IPD connection system is UL Listed under file number E468743, category PVVA, tested against UL2237 for all other demands for mounted power connections.
FEATURES
- Capable of handling up to 20A/600V

Banner Engineering's H10 Series data radios operate in scalable MultiHop wireless networks, ensuring reliable communication over long distances. A single radio enables direct communication from up to six sensors to a MultiHop master radio, reducing the cost and complexity of installation. They are powered by an internal D-cell battery or an external 10-30VDC power source, giving users tremendous flexibility in deployment.
Monitor Equipment over Long Distances
Wireless networks that use H10 Series data radios have an almost limitless capacity for range. Build your network around a DXM wireless controller with a MultiHop master radio and one or more H10 radios configured as slave devices. Monitor multiple sensing points by connecting up to six 1-wire serial sensors to each H10 radio. Add more sensors by adding more H10 radios to the network. Extend the network to monitor more equipment by configuring additional H10 radios or other MultiHop radios as repeaters.
Collect More Data Using Fewer Devices
H10 data radios are compatible with Banner’s 1-wire serial sensors. Each radio supports up to six sensors in any combination connected in a cascade chain. You can monitor machine health and performance, area environmental conditions, and/or asset content levels, mixing or matching the sensors to meet the needs of the application. This makes it easy and cost-effective to gather data from multiple sensing points on one machine or monitor multiple machines using just one radio.
Access Detailed Health and Performance Data
Gain greater insight into the health of your equipment. When used with QM30VT1 vibration and temperature sensors, a DXM wireless controller with a MultiHop master radio will pull data from all available registers from each connected sensor.

Since Rittal was founded, the company’s impressive innovative strength has spawned numerous enclosure generations, with millions of units in use – always ahead of their time. The latest generation – the AX – is a response to the challenges of the Industry 4.0 era and is the new original. Rittal’s new AX/KX line of wallmount and compact enclosures improve efficiency, flexibility, safety and simplicity.
The two latest additions to the Rittal enclosure portfolio offer you improved features, and new opportunities for value creation. The time savings begin with delivery: panels can be removed individually; there is no need for the usual disassembly work. It is also easier to install doors and cam locks, and typically without the need for tools. The wall mounting bracket can now be quickly screwed into place from the outside of the compact or small enclosure – and without impacting the protection rating. This also substantially reduces the risk of damage during transit as the brackets, which protrude beyond the sides of the enclosure, can be attached on-site at the final destination.
A further advantage is the more ample space available in the AX and KX compared to their predecessors, the AE, CM, KL, EB and BG. The increasing number of sensors and actuators being deployed in the switchgear industry is, in turn, raising the quantity of cables to be housed. The new enclosures’ modular design, improved cut-outs, and larger gland plates, create on average a third more space for cables. In addition, integrated locators in the side panels enable simple, precise and time-saving incorporation of the interior installation rails. As the rails also make use of 25mm spacing (pitch pattern), it is possible to use accessories, such as lights or terminal blocks, from the VX25 portfolio. This allows a smaller parts inventory, and there is no need for machining, such drilling, etc.
Safety is a high priority with all Rittal enclosures. When components are installed in the AX and KX, their protection category is maintained without any restrictions. This also applies to UL certification, which is essential for deployment on the North American market. Overall, the new design features make the compact enclosures more robust, and ensure greater resistance in particular to dynamic loads.
Suitable for many requirements
The new product lines provide answers to many and varied needs. KX small enclosures from 150mm x 150mm x 80mm are suitable if only a few components are to be housed in terminal boxes and bus enclosures. AX compact enclosures are available with depths between 120mm and 400mm, and in a maximum size of 1000mm x 1400mm. For all models, there is a choice of spray-finished sheet steel or stainless steel. Despite the greater number of potential use cases, the total number of components and accessories, and as a result complexity, has been markedly reduced.
