Krypton One designed for harsh environments
Dewesoft invented multi-channel Krypton data acquisition modules, which offer up to 16 channels each. Designed with IP67 degree of protection these modules are very robust, operate in extreme temperatures anywhere from -40¡C to 85¡C and 100 per cent humidity. Krypton modules communicate with each other using EtherCAT protocol over a single thin cable that provides data, synchronisation and power, which can be daisy-chained and spread out over 100m from node to node. Engineers have quickly adopted the Krypton series, mounting them right up against running car and aircraft engines, or anywhere where extreme temperatures are found. Humidity is obviously no issue for a product that can be completely submerged underwater. Despite the small size of these multi-channel modules, customers have asked for even more modularity, but without compromising the incredible environmental specifications. After development and testing, Dewesoft announced a new series of Krypton modules called the Krypton One with all of the same environmental robustness as the multi-channel series but allows the placement of the conditioner as close to the sensor as possible, even in extremely hostile environments such as an engine compartment. This results in the shortest possible sensor cables, improving the signal quality. These tiny single-channel modules measure just 62mm x 56mm x 29mm and are machined from an aluminium brick. After the industrial-grade electronics are installed, the units are then sealed with thermally conductive and electrically isolating rubber. Units are waterproof, shockproof, and can withstand shocks up to 100G. Krypton modules provide IP67 degree of protection against water, dust, and other elements are assured. The fast EtherCAT interface runs at 100Mbps full-duplex bus speed, providing for 6MB/s to 10MB/s data throughput per chain. Modules intended for dynamic measurements can sample up to 40 kS/s. All modules on the chain, which can be spread out as far as 100m (328 ft) between nodes, are precisely synchronised. With the use of EtherCAT to interconnect and control the Krypton series, the entire Krypton product line can be used with any third-party EtherCAT master for real-time applications.

New FLEX 5000 I/O modules from Rockwell Automation
Allen-Bradley FLEX 5000 safety I/O modules can meet the needs of producers in process and heavy industries that require fixed fieldwiring terminations or both vertical and horizontal I/O mounting in their distributed safety applications. The three new FLEX 5000 safety I/O modules provide distributed safety I/O for the Allen-Bradley Compact GuardLogix 5380 and GuardLogix 5580 controllers. The safety modules can be combined with FLEX 5000 standard I/O modules to achieve integrated safety and control in one distributed I/O platform. The modules offer safety reaction times as fast as 4.5 milliseconds to help designers create smaller, simpler and less expensive smart machines and equipment. They also offer extensive diagnostics to help users easily identify faults based on real-time data. The safety I/O modules are TUV-certified for use in fail-safe applications up to SIL 3 and PLe, Cat. 4. They can operate in extreme environments and be directly connected to copper and fibre networks. They are also available with conformal coating options for added protection against environmental stresses. In addition to the new safety I/O modules release, the FLEX 5000 EtherNet/IP adapters now support the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) network standard. This Ethernet topology is a way for designers to create a redundant network infrastructure that has high availability and helps minimise downtime risks.

EXAIR's new 1/2 inch No Drip Internal Mix Atomizing Spray Nozzles work in the same way our standard atomising nozzles do, but have the added benefit of positively stopping liquid flow when compressed air is shut off. Internal Mix Atomizing Spray Nozzles mix liquid and air inside the nozzle and produce the finest atomisation of liquids up to 300 centipoise. The patented No Drip design requires no additional air line to control the No Drip feature. When spraying any type of liquid, post-spray liquid flow can cause big problems. Unwanted drips can ruin product function on sealing or mating surfaces and ruin the appearance of painted or coated finishes. In addition, excess liquid flow wastes precious resources such as expensive coatings, chemicals or water. No Drip Atomizing Nozzles are ideal where no post-spray drip is permissible. When the compressed air supply is shut off, the no drip nozzle positively seals off the flow of liquid eliminating the possibility of drips. EXAIR's 1/2 inch No Drip Internal Mix Atomizing Nozzles are available in four patterns: narrow angle round, wide angle round, flat fan and 360-degree hollow circular pattern. They are for pressure fed applications that don't require independent air and liquid control. Available from Compressed Air Australia, the No Drip Atomizing Nozzles are fully adjustable to minimise air and liquid consumption and have interchangeable liquid and air caps. Flow ranges from 0.5 Lph to 1147 Lph (0.14 Gph to 303 Gph). They are also available in 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch, and are CE compliant and conflict mineral free.
