Industry Products

DataNet OPC Professional is a Web-based data presentation and logging application that makes industrial information conveniently accessible to those who need it to make executive decisions.

ifm efector offers a new line of non-contact intrinsically safe position sensors and switching amplifiers for hazardous area applications. These intrinsically safe devices can be installed in hazardous area environments that contain atmospheres with ignitable gas-air mixtures, dusts and fibers without causing fires or explosions.

In industrial applications, there are many instances where wires get in the way or are just not practical at all. Whether you work with Automated Guided Vehicles, remote monitoring and control systems, or mobile communications, we all face an increasing number of applications every day requiring a unique and flexible architecture. Fortunately, Industrial Wireless LAN and Siemens SCALANCE W products provide solutions today.

ifm efector’s ultrasonic flow meter is designed to simultaneously monitor flow rate and detect fluid temperature of water in a variety of process control applications.

The SIMATIC® S7-400 controller provides the highest performance in the SIMATIC S7 family, offering Totally Integrated Automation® for production and process engineering. You can implement fast and complex applications using the S7-400's enhanced processing and communication capabilities. Flexible architectures can be implemented from traditional control to central coordination of distributed slave controllers in a plant-wide architecture.

AutomationDirect quality AC variable speed motors fit the bill for a variety of induction motor applications requiring a blower motor, "squirrel cage" motor, fractional motor, pump motor or other heavy-duty industrial applications.

ifm efector’s new inspection sensor, efector dualis, monitors a variety of error-proofing applications to provide 100% inspection testing throughout the assembly automation process. Through contour evaluation, the sensor monitors applications such as missing part, good part/bad part, correct orientation, and right part/wrong part to detect component defects.

Siemens Energy & Automation has introduced a “game changing” concept for operator interface text panels. Designed to offer OEMs a new level of flexibility, Siemens’ new TD 200C operator interface text display’s firmware was developed in the United States to work hand-in-hand with the company’s popular SIMATIC S7-200 PLC.

ifm efector’s vibration monitor, efector Octavis, detects rolling element bearing failures and shaft unbalance conditions on critical plant equipment such as pumps, motors, compressors, fans and spindles. Octavis is permanently mounted on plant equipment to continuously monitor a machine’s operating condition through vibration analysis. Octavis has the processing capability to analyze a vibration signature and to predict failures in advance by sending an alarm output signal to a PLC or relay.

The SIMATIC® VS 130 processes data matrix codes in accordance with the ECC200 standard for 2D data matrix codes. It automatically finds the code even under difficult reading conditions such as distortions, rotation or surface inconsistencies. The vision sensor is designed to read codes applied with different coding methods, such laser, printed, punched, drilled or nailed codes.

GENESIS32 V8 is the first HMI software solution to fully support OPC XML-DA 1.0, and is also OPC DA 3.0 compliant.

DataWorX32 is OPC Data Access 1.0 – 3.0 compliant, and acts as a stand-alone product with any HMI/SCADA, MES, or Visual Basic® application.

ifm efector introduces its new fiber optic controller designed for multiple sensing point applications. The controller reduces excessive wiring for multiple fibers with a single homerun cable. The LCD operator interface is used to program fibers with the controller’s pushbutton programming and user menu.

Dozens of new non-metallic (fiberglass) enclosure models have been added to AutomationDirect's line of NEMA enclosures. Premier Series enclosures are available in opaque, hinged cover models with pull latches or screw covers, as well as clear hinged models with screw covers or link lock latches. Prices start at $32.00 . New junction box enclosure models are also available. Slim Line Series junction boxes carry a NEMA 4X rating and are priced starting at $16.00.
