arge-scale automation systems have been at the heart of production line control for decades. Now, driven by changes in consumer demands, an alternative plug and produce modular automation approach is emerging. For many production lines, particularly in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical and food processing sectors, modular-enabled automation could be the cornerstone of bringing to life the concepts embodied in the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0.

POWER SUPPLIES ZeroCabinet PULS ZeroCabinet Series of Power supplies provides decentralised energy in an efficient and modular system structure to enable easy expansion, replacement and can be completely dismantled. It offers reliable protection against dust and water with IP54, IP65 and IP67 ratings for 1-phase or 3-phase systems and machines. ZeroCabinet is the alternative to a power supply in the centralised control cabinet, decentralised on-site control box or a customer-specific solution.

Modular automation brings an agility and flexibility to production which has the potential to shorten the time-to-market, increase flexibility, and improving efficiency of manufacturing. By acting like building blocks, modules can be replicated and used to number up or number down in order meet rapidly changing capacity demands. By simply changing a few modules, a completely new product can be produced.

IO LINK MASTERS & HUBS

IO-Link System POWER SUPPLIES QT40 Series The PULS DIMENSION QT40.241-B2 brings to market the first 3-phase DIN rail power supply (24V/40A) that makes system data available to users via an I/O port.

Industry is facing harsh global competition and changing market requirements, such as the demand for more customised products, shorter delivery times and quick and simple integration of pre-packaged modular solutions. Manufacturers need to become faster, more flexible, and more efficient to meet the requirements of the changing market. Processes must be reliable, repeatable and error free, with the ability to adapt on the fly and quickly ramp production up or down to match sudden changes in demand, all while keeping efficiency high and costs low.

The LioN-Power IO-Link system combines powerful I/O modules in different variations which enable intelligent communication between sensors and actuators in industrial environments through standardised IO-Link technology. Ensure consistent, intelligent communication between the enterprise resource planning (ERP) level and sensor level, needed for Industry 4.0/ IIoT environments.

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS

FX-550L Series

The FX-500 series is equipped with only the most important functions for improved ease of use. The sensing range of the thin reflective type fibre is about 1.6 times longer than that of a conventional product adding extra flexibility to the placement of the sensors.
