While 24 V systems were predominantly used in conventional conveyor systems, system planners are increasingly relying on 48 V technology to control DC motor rollers in times of rising energy prices. 48 V motor control modules have several advantages, as they enable the construction of flexible and cost-efficient conveyor lines. To meet this demand, Pepperl+Fuchs has added a…
The IO-Link communication standard is an integral part of modern material handling systems. This manufacturer-independent interface allows a variety of diagnostic data from sensors to be transmitted to the controller—making it an essential component of Industry 4.0 applications such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Both sensors and actuators can be equipped with IO-Link, which is especially…
Photoelectric Distance Sensors of the R200 Series with Pulse Ranging Technology R200 sensors can be easily integrated into confined machine designs. From material handling to the automotive industry, there are many different applications that require precise distance measurement over long distances. This task poses a particular challenge if the sensor must not take up much space due to…
SMART Transmitter Power Supply and Current Driver Pepperl+Fuchs is expanding its portfolio of universal isolated barriers with the HiC2422 intrinsic safety barrier. The new module has two freely configurable channels for analog signals, which means it can be used both as a SMART transmitter power supply for two-wire transmitters and as a current driver for valve positioners. This dual functionality reduces inventory…
Rounding out its constantly evolving tablet portfolio, Pepperl+Fuchs continues its partnership with Samsung with the launch of the Tab-Ex® 04 Pro DZ2/22.
