The Grain Tech Expo will be held in Kiev from 19 to 21 February 2019. In the Ukraine, the agriculture industry is an important branch of the economy with a corresponding need for conveyor equipment for grain, pulses, oil seed and fertiliser. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS energy efficient drive concepts for bulk materials make a major contribution to efficient operation of conveyor belts, screw conveyors, trough chain conveyors and elevators in the agriculture sector.
Curtiss-Wright’s Sensors & Controls Division today announced the release of its newest Exlar® brand electric press actuator, the FTP160. The FTP160 is the second frame size of the high-force electric rod-style press actuators and is designed exclusively for press applications.
At the SPS IPC Drives, the steute business unit Extreme presented its new ZS 92 SR belt alignment switch, created on the basis of its ZS 92 S emergency pull wire switch series, which is also new.
These new models are the result of several years of research and development. They allow for the first time to produce a power of up to 200 kVA from a LSA 44.3 / TAL 044, while offering genset manufacturers significant gains in efficiency, footprint and transient performances.
Oxford school has online control of heating, ventilation, water, lighting etc.
At the EF International Language Centre in Oxford, system integrator Global Electrical Solutions Ltd. has installed a building management system to keep track of heating, ventilation, water, lighting etc. By connecting Netbiter Remote Management gateways to Rockwell control panels in the building, users can see current temperatures, levels, and consumption online. They can even turn on lights or open windows remotely – truly realizing the Internet of Things.
Automation engineers frequently need to bridge the gap between different protocols and networks used in a plant, but they also need to enable communication between equipment within the same network family. For example, in the PROFINET and PROFIBUS-world, there are many devices and sub-systems that cannot necessarily communicate with each other. It may be necessary to connect different physical formats such as copper and fiber optics or couple/de-couple I/O data between two controlling networks. With their recently upgraded Anybus X-gateways, HMS Industrial Networks can offer ways to get heterogeneous PROFI-equipment connected.
