Outdoor IP camera with IR vision

17 June, 2009 | Supplied by: http://www.ethernetdirect.com.au/EDS-143P_LP.htm

The EDS-143P is a 'bullet' type IP camera designed for use in outdoor locations. The device supports infra red night time vision, and has integrated Power over Ethernet 100Base-TX port for data and power.


Uptime and the new age of safety control

12 June, 2009 by Gary Milburn* | Supplied by: Rockwell Automation Australia

Unleashed by new safety standards that embrace the latest microprocessor technologies, modern safety control systems are now intricately tied to how the plant operates — not only optimising worker safety, but improving productivity and uptime.


Decentralised machine control

Service friendly safety guards for press brakes with maximum of productivity.


STM safety switch

11 May, 2009 | Supplied by: Treotham Automation Pty Ltd

Due to its small design, the STM safety switch with its plastic housing is suitable for applications in which robustness is required in combination with small dimensions.


Euchner safety switch

The Euchner CES-AP-C safety switch makes CES transponder technology available to protect even very small guards and doors.


Configuration software

01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Pilz Australia Industrial Automation LP

Pilz has released version 6.0.0 of the PNOZmulti Configurator software package for use with the PNOZmulti modular safety controller. It is available in English and German, plus a new feature enables diagnostic messages for end users to be created offline in any language and imported into the Configurator.


PNOZsigma safety relays

01 April, 2009 | Supplied by: 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.


A safe, clean business — monitoring an exhaust purification plant

16 February, 2009 | Supplied by: Pilz Australia Industrial Automation LP

Systems for thermal exhaust purification are subject to furnace regulations, and the safety of such plants presents a particular challenge for automation technology. In the past, the safety functions on systems manufactured by Dürr were monitored using conventional automatic gas burner control systems and safety relays, but safety and efficiency have since been greatly improved with the implementation of advanced safety control systems.


Steel recoiler safety controlled

20 January, 2009 | Supplied by: Pilz Australia Industrial Automation LP

It’s often a requirement of many manufacturing processes to have the operators become directly involved in the machine action at the unloading point, either to unload or secure the outbound product. Unfortunately, the outfeed sections of most processes are notoriously dangerous, so in reality we should be striving to remove the operators from the area at all times.


Integrating control and safety — where to draw the line

20 January, 2009 by Robin McCrea-Steele* | Supplied by: Invensys Operations Management (Australia) Pty Ltd

New digital technology now makes it feasible to integrate process control and safety instrumented functions within a common automation infrastructure. While this can provide productivity and asset management benefits, if not done correctly, it can also compromise the safety and security of an industrial operation. This makes it critically important for process industry users to understand where to draw the line. Cyber-security and sabotage vulnerability further accentuate the need for securing the Safety Instrumented System (SIS).


Increased plant safety puts focus on tank gauging

18 December, 2008 by Christian Skaug* | Supplied by: Emerson

The demand for safety technology in bulk liquid storage plants is increasing worldwide. This market trend can clearly be seen in tank gauging projects where Safety Integrity Level (SIL) requirements are now being incorporated.


Modular safety lights

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Treotham Automation Pty Ltd

Treotham Automation has launched the Elfin modular safety lighting range, which includes warning lights, access illuminators and machinery cabinet lights.


Laser safety sensor

01 December, 2008 | Supplied by: Jemtech Pty Ltd

The Shrike series of laser sensors for long-folder guarding installations has been upgraded in model SH-L600.
