R. STAHL's Thin Clients cover all requirements for an on-site operation, and have been designed for hazardous as well as for non-hazardous industrial areas. Three different device platforms for varying applications have been developed to suite various application needs.

The CONEC SnapLock versions of the D‑SUB hoods are suitable for applications requiring high vibration and shock resistance.

Siemens simplifies data transfer within the IIoT to cloud-based solutions with the new Simatic CP 1545-1 communication processor for use with Simatic S7-1500 in modern automation environments. The new industrial IoT gateway Simatic CloudConnect 7 is suitable for the cloud connection of existing systems.

The increasingly decentralized automation requires flexible and individual wiring in certain areas directly in the field and at the machine with field-terminable connectors in various connection technologies.

Balluff is expanding their range of sensors for media-contacting temperature detection, in hydraulic power units for example. New are a temperature sensor with display, a temperature transmitter as well as a PT1000 sensor.

Less than three years after the Meca500, the probably smallest and most precise industrial robot arm, was introduced to the market, more than a hundred manufacturers in the electronics, medical device, and automotive industries use the robot to automate various testing and production operations.

About one months before the opening, the preparations are well underway for the SENSOR+TEST from 25 to 27 June 2019. At the Annual Press Conference of the AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement in Nuremberg, the organizer, Holger Bödeker, had a very positive outlook on this year’s internationally leading trade fair for sensor, measuring, and testing technology.

With in­dus­trial routers as IoT gate­ways, data can be col­lected and analysed – and at the same time ad­just­ments to the sys­tem con­trol can be done im­me­di­ately via re­mote ac­cess. At Han­nover Messe 2019, Hall 8, Booth A04/1, MB con­nect line will demon­strate how this can be done sim­ply and se­curely.

The new FL MC EF 660 SCRJ media con­verter from Phoenix Con­tact en­ables the con­nec­tion of cost-ef­fec­tive poly­mer and HCS/PCF fiber tech­nol­ogy.

Increasingly, classic control cabinet applications are installed in the field and equipped with communicative components. This increases the complexity and quantity of the cabling. Prefabricated and tested cables enable time savings of up to 75 percent and simplify installation in difficult plant conditions. To cater for these requirements, Weidmüller offers high-quality plug-and-produce solutions...

Applied Motion introduces a new line of SV200 Digital Servo Drives for DC-powered motion control applications. Operating on 24, 48 or higher DC voltages (up to 60 volts DC), the SV200 Servo Drives offer advanced performance with multiple controls to address the requirements of machine builders and OEMs, especially for multi-axis applications.

Data is the new gold. But instead of transferring a large amount of raw data directly into the cloud, the pre-processing of data at the edge of the network – edge computing – is increasingly favored. With mbEDGE, the collected machine and sensor data is evaluated locally and only the results are transferred to the cloud application.
