Featured technologies include: absolute position feedback systems, zone scanners, light grids, photoelectric & inductive sensors, and rotary encoders.

G3 Series HMI has a built-in image driver that allows the integration of multiple Banner Presence PLUS vision sensors. ; the G3 supports Banner’s full line of sensors. A machine designer can configure a G3 for specific sensor operations such as switching inspection files for different product batches, archiving and running additional inspections, uploading barcode data and displaying images of failed products.

The TUV-certified Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6000 Safety servo drive with GuardMotion incorporates a safe-off functionality that allows users to restart machines faster and reduce downtime in the event of unplanned maintenance. Machine builders can now safely and efficiently power down motion control systems in a wide range of high-speed applications, including packaging, material handling, and converting.

The SinCos SRM64 Series multi-turn servo motor feedback systems offers reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -20 up to 110ºC with high resistance to shock (100/10 g/ms) and vibration (20/10 – 2000 g/Hz). They provide precise absolute positioning with 32,768 steps per revolution over 4,096 revolutions. Hollow shaft bores are available for up to 14mm shafts.

This new advanced device connectivity server uses GE's Service Request Transfer Protocol (SRTP) to provide real-time, configurable read-and-write access from Wonderware software to GE PLCs. The SRTP within the new Wonderware DA Server is layered on top of TCP/IP in order to communicate with GE's Series 90, Versamax and Pacsystems PLCs.

The DM2200 Module for wireless sensor networking combines low power consumption components and RFM's Third Generation Virtual Wire radio to provide longer range than was previously possible with a battery powered mesh networking node. The DM2200 is a powerful and versatile embedded module that provides superior performance across a broad range of industrial automation applications.

Three new affordable, rugged and user friendly hand held thermometers are for measuring temperature with thermocouples, RTDs and both T/C and RTDs in harsh on-site, process environments. The respective pocket thermometer models can measure with a high accuracy of 0.02% of reading and a very low temperature coefficient of 15 ppm/°C.

AR-B1693 Mini-ITX form factor Fanless Motherboard based on Intel Celeron Ultra Low Voltage 400MHz and 650MHz processor provides performance with low power consumption. AR-B1693 has high-bandwidth interfaces such as VIA enhanced audio, 10/100 Ethernet, USB2.0 connectivity, Serial ATA, UDMA IDE port and PCI slot.

ValveAnalysis software plug-in works with Emerson Process Management's AMS Suite to run diagnostic signatures for Flowserve valves, actuators and positioners. It enables AMS users to run diagnostic signatures, providing key information that can be used to maximize equipment performance.

CalVal electronic technology for self-calibration and automatic validation of leak testing can now achieve an accuracy of ±2% of reading or 0.02 sccm (standard cubic centimeters per minute). This allows manufacturers to maintain the highest quality standards without slowing production line output for time-consuming mechanical calibration.

PBA430 platform for weighing in washdown environments incorporates a hermetically sealed load cell and stainless steel construction for protection against cleaning agents and corrosive agents frequently found in food preparation and industrial environments. The platform has been designed specifically for use in food processing, chemical, and any other industry where resistance to high humidity, high pressure washdown, and corrosive agents is essential.

PANVIEW Version 4.0 software and hardware products control, map and monitor the physical layer and related network resources to permit efficient infrastructure management, quick problem resolution, and substantially reduced network operational costs.

The Aries all-digital servo drive platform is available with resolver feedback. A resolver feedback device is essentially made out of the same materials as the motor and contains no electronics; thus, a resolver-equipped motor is less susceptible to the effects of temperature, humidity, dust, vibration and shock.

BL20 xStart motor starter modules allow 3-phase motor control to be connected to the same rack as standard I/O. BL20 xStart motor starter modules are mounted directly next to other BL20 modules, and are controlled by the same gateway. This allows the motors to be controlled via DeviceNet, PROFIBUS-DP or CANopen fieldbus protocols.

DT150 industrial flat panel monitor with a touchscreen interface is suitable for many machines and applications. With a mounting depth of only 50 mm, DT150 is easy to fit on machines and control panels. Once in place, the powder-coated aluminum frame and the IP66 rated front provides an interface that stands up to harsh environments and is easy to clean.

SmartFeed application software for manufacturing automation and robotics will be announced at the IMTS 2006 show, Chicago, IL, September 6-13, in booth B-6270. SmartFeed technology will allow manufacturers to automate a wide range of part feeding and part sorting processes with vision-guided robot motion-control.

IPPC-9171G industrial Panel PC supports a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 / 2.5 GHz Celeron processor and DDR 400 2 GB RAM, a 17” SXGA TFT LCD for vivid, sharp, and large images, two expansion slots for PCI add-on cards, and a front accessible USB connector. It has stainless steel chassis with aluminum front panel, strengthened glass to protect the front panel from shock damage, and supports industrial mounting rack and panel. Prices start at $2,100.

The MXA signal analyzer allows flexible signal and spectrum analysis measurements for the design and manufacture of wireless communication devices to current and emerging standards. It seamlessly integrates a broad range of standards-based measurements, such as WiMAX, with 89601A vector signal analysis (VSA) software -- all in a single instrument.

The Agilent E6601A is an integrated test system in one box. It features a built-in open Windows XP PC, which allows test programs to be developed, downloaded and executed directly in the system -- eliminating the test-system PC and saving system space and cost. With a measurement architecture designed for high-speed measurements and accuracy, repeatability and measurement integrity, the Agilent E6601A significantly lowers the cost of mobile-phone manufacturing test.
