The good news is that the further development of Ethernet transmission technology and PoE power supply with currently up to 90 W also creates new applications with Ethernet interfaces. In addition, there is a growing need for uniform, lean transmission technology, both in terms of the transmission protocol and the hardware, connectors and cabling. Ideally, right down to the field level to the sensors and actuators. This should be possible with Single Pair Ethernet (SPE). With the start in the automotive industry, the technology begins to find its way into industry and, in the long term, into buildings. The SPE topic has been known for some time and since the SPS 2019 trade fair at the latest, it has made itself felt in all media. As an innovative manufacturer for high quality in the field of contact technology and connecting elements in the market segments of industrial electronics, data and communication technology as well as in building technology, we at METZ CONNECT also deal with single pair Ethernet technology. Be it in devices, control cabinets, systems or infrastructure, both in industry and in buildings. Based on market knowledge, we assume that the first SPE applications will develop in industry. METZ CONNECT begins the first step with premium membership in the Single Pair Ethernet Industrial Partner Network. We are one of more than 30 strong partners to support the IEC 63171-6 connectors. We look forward to actively working in the SPE Industrial Partner Network. In Single Pair Ethernet we see a groundbreaking technology for the development of further Ethernet-capable end devices, sensors and actuators, be it at the field level in industry or in smart buildings.

The group “Single Tube Linear Units 2A” contains linear units made of chrome-plated steel or bright stainless steel precision tubes. Together with linear unit connectors, these form a solid linear round or square guide. The spindle drive in the guide tube transmits the linear movement to a linear unit connector. The linear units are freely configurable and are entirely manufactured by Inocon. Single tube linear units can be divided into four types: Linear units with one guide element: the linear unit connector is moved along the guide tube by the spindle thread. Linear units with two opposing guide elements: two linear unit connectors move symmetrically along the guide tube due to different thread directions. Linear units with two independent guide elements: two linear unit connectors move independently along the guide tube due to separate spindles. Telescope linear units: an outer tube forms the linear unit connector, which is moved along the inner guide tube by the spindle thread. This increases or decreases the total length of the linear units. Possible accessories for the single tube linear units offered in group 2D include handwheels in various designs, position indicators and spacer plates for spindle clamping. The accessories are matched to the nominal diameters of the linear units. The matching linear unit connectors are available in group 2B in all typical part types, such as cross, base or flanged linear unit connectors. Together with the linear unit connectors, single tube linear units can be used to quickly and easily assemble solid linear guides that can be flexibly adapted to many different areas of application, such as for format adjustment and machine building. An operating manual with instructions for assembly can be downloaded from our website at inocon.de/en/service.

NFO Sinus-Frequenzumrichter – Echte Sinusspannung für anspruchsvolle Antriebsaufgaben Der NFO Sinus-Frequenzumrichter setzt neue Maßstäbe in der elektrischen Antriebstechnik. Im Gegensatz zu konventionellen PWM-Umrichtern erzeugt er am Ausgang eine nahezu ideale Sinusspannung – ohne nachgeschalteten Sinusfilter. Warum Sinus – und nicht PWM? Konventionelle PWM-Umrichter erzeugen durch hochfrequentes Schalten ein rechteckförmiges Ausgangssignal mit hohen Oberschwingungsanteilen. Die Folgen: erhöhte Motorerwärmung (Zusatzverluste bis 20 %), Lagerschäden durch kapazitive Ableitströme, EMV-Probleme sowie störende Geräuschemissionen. Zudem lösen die hochfrequenten Ableitströme Standard-RCDs zuverlässig aus – auch ohne echten Fehlerfall. Der NFO Sinus-Umrichter eliminiert diese Probleme konstruktiv: Ein patentiertes Multilevel-Schaltverfahren erzeugt am Ausgang THD < 5 % – vergleichbar mit Netzspannung direkt vom Trafo. Kapazitive Ableitströme werden so weit reduziert, dass der Betrieb hinter einem handelsüblichen 30-mA-RCD (Typ A) problemlos und ohne Fehlauslösungen möglich ist. Technische Vorteile im Überblick: ✔ Motorschonung: Keine Oberwellenverluste – volle Leistung ohne Derating ✔ Lagerschutz: Minimaler Ableitstrom – verlängerte Lagerlebensdauer ✔ EMV-konform: Geringe Störaussendungen, einfache Schaltschrankplanung ✔ Lange Leitungen: Motorleitungen bis 300 m ohne Filter ✔ Leise: Deutlich reduzierte Geräuschemission ✔ RCD-sicher: Betrieb hinter 30-mA-Fehlerstromschutzschaltern ohne Fehlauslösung ✔ Kein Sinusfilter: Spart Einbauvolumen und Kosten Einsatzbereiche: Pumpen, Lüfter, Kompressoren, Pressen, Förderanlagen. Leistungsbereich: 1,5 kW bis 22 kW | Netzspannung: 3×400 V / 1×230 V | Schutzart: IP20/IP54

Ganter is expanding its range of indexing plungers with a technical treat. The newest addition, type GN 817.7, is pneumatically actuated and can be seamlessly integrated into automated processes thanks to state-of-the-art sensors. There aren’t actually any indexing plunger variants lacking from Ganter’s portfolio. Nevertheless, the development team consistently succeeds in integrating new functionality that opens up new application possibilities. The most recent indexing plunger development is pneumatically actuated. Plus, the part also detects both end positions with just a single sensor. This makes GN 817.7 a logical advancement over the manually operated indexing plunger GN 817.6. The new variant can also be used in hard-to-reach locations and can be integrated into automated processes. What’s more, GN 817.7 can be used as a replacement for GN 817.6 without any changes in dimensioning or signal processing. The position detection of GN 817.7 is once again based on proven magnet technology but with some important new innovations. Not only are both end positions now detected but they can also be individually defined. The sensor teaching can be performed directly on-site with a small operating element on the sensor, which is held in place by a clip and supported by a cable. There are even LEDs for visual feedback. The other option for teaching is to use the convenient IO-Link feature via the system control unit. This standardized interface makes teaching a quick affair and also allows for immediate replacement in the case of faults, which significantly reduces downtime. The high signals upon reaching the respective end positions are transmitted directly over the 4-pin M8 cable plug to the control unit of the system.

Under the keyword Industry 4.0, production facilities are increasingly developing into "smart factories" in which individual production steps are monitored in real time with the help of intelligent machines and sensors and the overall process is organized more effectively. norelem also has some of these "smart products" in its range. Smart products independently collect and transmit their own production and operating data to other devices. However, they can not only store data, but can also be equipped with individual production information, so that the networked product can, for example, put itself into operation and control its own production process. This communication between product and machine – and humans who monitor both – simplifies and optimizes many previously complex processes in production and the workshop. Everything on GREEN with the Smart Products from norelem Smart products are the ideal solution when it comes to machining workpieces with as few errors as possible

halstrup-walcher has developed the intelligent PSxHub to implement the parallel operation of positioning systems for format adjustment as efficiently as possible: As an active bus component, the smart connection element offers simple integration for up to 16 positioning systems from the PSD family (PSD 4xx with IO-Link), ensures smooth communication with the controller and is economical thanks to the single-cable solution with unshielded, standard A-coded cables, among other things. The flexibly configurable synchronization control and monitoring integrated in the PSxHub ensures synchronized parallel operation of the controlled positioning systems. As a flexible technology platform, the PSxHub enables a wider performance spectrum (e.g. in terms of power requirements and synchronization) compared to classic IO-Link hubs without a control function. With its compact housing design from 14.2 x 16.4 x 6.4 cm (control cabinet version), it is an efficient and space-saving solution for central data and power transmission. The PSxHub is available for the Industrial Ethernet systems PROFINET and EtherCAT (others on request).
