Stafford Custom Shaft Collars can be engineered and manufactured to meet a wide range of mounting, positioning, and mechanical actuation requirements. Featuring smooth, hex, square, metric, radiused, keyed, and threaded bores, they are available in one and two piece, hinged, or set-screw styles and can be machined with drilled and tapped face holes, O.D. treatments such as flats, grooves, or knurls, and can supplied with special fasteners.

The new Cooper Bussmann drive fuse is designed specifically for the protection of power electronic controllers such as Drives and Temperature control equipment and devices such as SCRs, Diodes and Solid State Relays. It's a high-speed fuse and a UL Class J fuse in one package, and so meets NEC® branch circuit requirements with the response of a high-speed fuse, critical for protecting power electronics equipment.

Three techniques - overlapped VLANs, rate limiting and port security - can help safeguard your control network from issues presented by the office network or office equipment such as Windows PCs.

PANDUIT introduces a new cable tie installation tool. The pneumatic operation and ergonomic design of the PTH cable tie installation tool improve productivity by reducing operator fatigue and repetitive motion injuries. The PTH provides fast, consistent installation of standard (50 lb) through heavy (175 lb) cross-section cable ties in less than one second.

The FL-Com Server RS-485 interface offers easy integration of virtually any RS-485 device onto industrial 10/100BASE-T(X) networks, therefore allowing access to any device with a serial port. The rugged FL-Com Server provides users with industrial features such as: wide-range DC power supply, DIN-rail mounting, three-way isolation, surge protection and redundant power supply capabilities.

Customers who order industrial components from Rockwell Automation now have a simplified process with the launch of the new Allen-Bradley Essential Components Catalog and toll-free number. The catalog contains the most frequently ordered components, such as terminal blocks, I/O systems and operator interface devices.

This line of industrial timers and relays comprise a long list of multi-function timers, interval ON, interval ON/OFF, ON-delay, OFF-delay with auxiliary voltage, ON-delay and OFF-delay, star-delta relays, signal watchdog and flasher relays. All are DIN rail mountable in a 22.5 mm package and can handle both AC and DC voltages from 24 to 240 volts.

Honeywell, at its annual Users Group Symposium today, unveiled a customer-driven industrial wireless roadmap that will help end-users fine-tune plant operations and improve plant employee productivity. The industrial automation and wireless expert outlined its newest initiatives including secure network technology that extends applications to improve compliance, safety and security, reliability and optimization.

The six-channel MC600 provides continuous gas monitoring when equipped with General Monitors’ gas sensors/transmitters to protect people, equipment and facilities.

Matrox Graphics Inc. announces expanded monitor and graphics hardware support for its popular Graphics eXpansion Modules (GXMs). These easy-to-install, palm-sized, external upgrades add multi-display support to a system by dividing the monitor output of a computer into separate displays.

Using graphical flow charts, this unique software does away with complicated code generation. Users simply link command-specific graphics to design or modify a process.

“Back in 2004, WAGO was the first company to offer a fieldbus coupler, the 750-341, that had passed the EtherNet/IP conformance test,” said Dean Norton, Marketing Manager for WAGO Corporation. “Our recent success continues to show our commitment to supporting EtherNet/IP, as well as other Ethernet based industrial protocols.”

The RemotePowerMonitoring™ service automatically monitors customers' MGE 3-phase Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems around the clock, assuring 7X24X365 on-line availability. Any power disturbance or irregularity is instantly recognized and reported immediately to MGE's Customer Care Center.

Integrity asset management software suite with the new LoopSheets application enables users to automatically generate control loop diagrams that integrate information from the wiring panel to the control system and beyond.

Integrity version 1.4 documents, analyzes and manages automation asset information and real-time data flow across any process manufacturing facility. It works with PLCs and DCSes from Honeywell, Invensys, Emerson, Rockwell Automation and many other vendors.

Invensys is now offering a free 16-page brochure that describes the new InFusion enterprise control system (ECS), the world’s first industrial system that provides a true enterprise view. The InFusion ECS combines industry-leading capabilities from across Invensys with advanced enterprise information and integration technologies from both Microsoft and SAP to dramatically reduce integration costs.

In addition, the S3000 Professional CMS Safety Laser Scanner (Contour Measurement & Safety) is concurrently being launched to meet the navigation requirements of complex mobile vehicle applications. The company's family of safety laser scanners now includes more than 15 models – the most in the industry, providing added flexibility and value to its customers.

AquaSensors and Beckhoff present a complete water analysis and control system at the Annual ACE06 conference that sets a new standard in water plant control using the latest digital technology to increase capabilities, improve reliability, and lower cost.

Traditionally, integration between the engineering technical services at a plant and operations or maintenance has been ad-hoc at best, even nonexistent in many cases. Applications like SmartPlant Instrumentation have solidified that integration in the instrumentation domain, resulting in reduced costs in engineering as well as operations and maintenance through better information access and management.

Pacific Control Systems (PCS), the global automation leader, has launched its Machine-to-Machine (M2M) GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA 24x7 Remote Monitoring Service (RMS) solutions for airports at the Airport Build & Supply 2006 exhibition held between 5-7 June at the Dubai Airport Expo.
