Phoenix Contact scalable fieldbus infrastructure solutions
18 September, 2011 | Phoenix Contact Pty Ltd
Preconfigured field distribution boxes allow Profibus PA or Foundation fieldbus process devices to be directly connected in the field. The stainless steel or aluminium housing modules accommodate components that permit the connection and termination of the fieldbus trunk cable. Surge voltage protection and different shielding concepts can be subsequently added. Users can freely select which types and how many modular device couplers are connected, and can also expand these at a later date.

17 September, 2011 | Beckhoff Automation Pty Ltd
The FC3121 and FC3122 Profibus PC fieldbus cards have a PCI Express interface, enabling the transmission of larger quantities of data. These fieldbus cards can also optionally be equipped with NOVRAM cards for the failsafe storage of data.
Beckhoff EL7201 servomotor terminal for EtherCAT Terminal system
16 September, 2011 | Beckhoff Automation Pty Ltd
The EL7201 servomotor terminal for the EtherCAT Terminal system is designed for highly dynamic positioning tasks. It integrates a full servo drive including an encoder system into a 12 mm terminal. The terminal is suitable for the direct connection of servomotors up to 200 W, and combining it with servo motors from the AM3100 series enables the implementation of an inexpensive servo axis. Due to the high torque and the high, stable speed, this drive solution is suitable for pick-and-place applications and for use everywhere that high dynamics, compact design and exact positioning are required.
Allen-Bradley Guardmaster safety relays
16 September, 2011 | Rockwell Automation Australia
Rockwell Automation has launched a new generation of Allen-Bradley Guardmaster safety relays that includes basic units capable of supporting a range of safety devices in various applications such as single- and multizone configurations.
Beckhoff EP5101 EtherCAT Box incremental encoder interface
15 September, 2011 | Beckhoff Automation Pty Ltd
The EP5101 EtherCAT Box is an interface for the direct connection of incremental encoders with differential inputs (RS485). Due to the optional interpolating microincrements functionality, the EP5101 can supply more precise axis positions for dynamic axes. It supports the synchronous reading of the encoder value together with other input data in the EtherCAT system via high-precision EtherCAT distributed clocks.
Hardy HI 1769-FC weigh feeder control module
15 September, 2011
Hardy’s HI 1769-FC weigh feeder control module mounts directly into an Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1500 or CompactLogix chassis and supports Add-on Profile (AOP) set-up, simplifying installation and programming.
Balluff BPS Series pressure sensors
14 September, 2011 | Balluff Pty Ltd
The BPS series of pressure sensors from Balluff have IP 67 protection for use in gaseous and liquid media. The rugged devices feature a high-quality, long-term stable ceramic load cell, simple installation and high precision. A large, bright and easily visible display shows status - the current system pressure in bar, mbar, psi and MPa - and also features fast and simple configuration of the sensors according to the VDMA standard, using two keys and intuitive menu guidance.
