Recent Introduction of Industrial Products

Analog Signal Converter
IO-Link analog plugs with 14-bit high resolution are for systems with limited instances of analog signals. They have IP67 enclosure rating, a space-saving housing, are connected directly to the sensor, and convert the analog signals into IO-Link signals before transmission. They are available with 4-20 mA current input and output, voltage of 0-10 V or PT 100, and a voltage output of 0-10 V.

It’s a Lock
Han-Yellock connectors with integral locking system incorporate a pushbutton technology. Pre-wired modules can be installed into the connector body from the front or back and without fixing screws. The ability to combine potentials and contacts is integrated into the connector, and it has a single gender crimp contact design that eliminates the need for inventory and processing of male and female contacts.

Push It
Terminal blocks with push-in technology (PIT) reduce insertion forces, are available in a 2.5 mm2 cross section, and accept 22 AWG and 14 AWG ferrules. An actuation button opens the spring to the maximum wiring space of 14 AWG, and the universal button is compatible with any type of tool, including a pen.

Process App
Industrial Hotspot radios with Sweet William Automation’s ScadaMobile app for the iPhone/iPod platform can provide access to live process control variables, and the ability to modify the data from an iPhone. The application creates a secure wireless interface between an iPhone and an existing 802.11 wireless network to read Modbus TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP process control variables from PACs and PLCs.
