Food-safe stainless steel connectors
01 April, 2009 | HARTING Pty Ltd
Until now, many machines and devices in the processing industries, particularly food and beverage, have been permanently wired due to the environmental conditions. Highly resistant to aggressive substances, the Han-Inox housings made of high-grade stainless steel have been developed for applications in these areas.
DC motors for the food industry
01 April, 2009 | M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd

Oil-in-water measurement
01 April, 2009 | Environmental & Process Technologies
Enviro-Flu-HC is a new generation of highly sensitive submersible sensors for oil-in-water measurement. The UV fluorescence principle used for detection is claimed to be more sensitive than other existing detection principles, such as infrared scattering.
Amalgamated Instrument differential pressure transmitter
01 April, 2009 | Amalgamated Instrument Co
The WS-TPDPT7 transmitters are available in three models with selectable ranges. The high accuracy model measures ranges from 0-25 Pa to 0-100 Pa in four selectable ranges, the standard model measures ranges from 0-50 Pa to 0-2500 Pa in eight selectable ranges and the high-pressure model measures ranges from 0-5000 Pa to 0-10000 Pa in six selectable ranges.
Parallel actuator controller
01 April, 2009 | LINAK Australia Pty Ltd
The TR-EM-239 parallel controller is designed to drive two actuators in parallel. It is suitable for 12-24 VDC motors each with a maximum of 10 A capacity and in applications where parallel movement is required — for example, across a bench, hatch, door, slide, transfer, directional guide or conveyor line.
PNOZsigma safety relays
01 April, 2009 | Pilz Australia Industrial Automation LP
The multifunctional PNOZsigma relay allows a smaller number of units to be used in applications that previously required the use of numerous different models of safety relay, meaning that stockholdings can be reduced substantially. The PNOZsigma relays also provide LEDs on the front that give much better diagnostic data than their predecessors, helping with troubleshooting and therefore reducing machine downtime.
Compact serial valve manifold
01 April, 2009 | SMC Australia | New Zealand
When available space is at a premium, as is often the case on machines and in control cabinets, the ability to source a compact, fully centralised, serial controlled valve manifold is essential. The EX250 serial interface provides a compact solution and can use either of the proven SV and VQC series of valves that are available in a number of sizes and flow rates. The EX250 is easily configured with digital input and digital output modules to suit additional control requirements and supports many serial protocols including ethernet, EtherCat, Profibus, DeviceNet, AS-i and Modbus. The EX250 has an IP67 enclosure rating as standard for those wet and dusty areas, which also makes it suitable for out-of-cabinet installation.
Motor management display
01 April, 2009 | Schneider Electric
The TeSys T display allows the user to configure the parameters of the TeSys T motor management and protection relay and to display the selected operational values.
Lightweight robot
01 April, 2009 | ABB Australia Pty Ltd
The IRB 4600 features a compact and lightweight design with an upper arm of aluminium and spur gears of ABB’s own design. The robot incorporates QuickMove and TrueMove, ABB’s sharp motion technology that defines precise performance and path accuracy with the shortest possible rapid cycle time.
Rotary encoders
01 April, 2009 | Schneider Electric
The Osisense rotary encoders are now open to fieldbus communication including a version fully compatible with CANopen and Profibus-DP networks.
Pressure transducers
01 April, 2009 | AMS Instrumentation & Calibration Pty Ltd
Noshok’s 300 series compact-sized pressure transducer delivers long-term stability during operation and is suitable for use in general industrial applications where space is limited and durability is essential.
Graphic terminals
01 April, 2009 | Schneider Electric
The Magelis XBT GK graphic terminals can be configured and controlled to precisely match user requirements. Easily programmable using Vijeo Designer software, Magelis XBT GK terminals offer users a flexible user interface with a touch screen and keypad keys configurable simultaneously or separately.
Packaging industry application
01 April, 2009 | Wonderware Australia
Wonderware has released Wonderware Industry Application for Packaging, targeting the needs of packaging operations in the food and beverage and consumer goods industry markets.
Inline water quality monitoring in distribution pipelines
01 April, 2009 | Westwater Enterprises
The Intellisonde multi-parameter monitoring system is a measuring device designed for direct insertion into potable water pipeline distribution networks, providing benefits including: continuous water quality monitoring within the distribution system; integration into a water utility data collection system such as SCADA; providing real-time and historical data — both alphanumeric and graphical; assistance with compliance and regulatory requirements; analysis of the distribution network; and minimising risk of contamination posed by bursts and repairs.
Profinet cordsets
01 April, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has introduced a 4-wire Profinet cordset line that has been developed to provide plug-and-play connectivity for applications using Profinet protocols. Profinet, the fastest industrial ethernet I/O network, is compatible with existing fieldbus systems and the only network that can accomplish a line topology — especially suitable for long conveyor systems. These cordsets connect to Turck’s BL67 ethernet gateways for Profinet — which can be connected to up to 32 I/O modules per gateway — to allow smooth integration into current fieldbus structures.
