In industrial and building automation projects, connecting different fieldbus devices to a network infrastructure is already a reality. The challenge is to connect different manufacturers with different protocol standards into a comprehensive IP network. Sensors and actuators at the fieldbus level that communicate via Modbus RTU must be integrated into a Modbus TCP network. A so-called Modbus gateway is used to convert the Modbus RTU protocol into a Modbus TCP protocol. This is a Modbus RTU/Modbus TCP gateway that primarily converts Modbus RTU protocols into Modbus TCP protocols (or vice versa). The METZ CONNECT Modbus Gateway MR-GW helps to integrate Modbus RTU devices into a Modbus TCP network and offers a very simple and cost-effective communication option for Modbus TCP clients with one or more Modbus RTU slaves. The MR-GW guides the user through the configuration of the device in no time at all via an intuitive menu navigation system. Thanks to its modern and user-friendly responsive design, the device can be conveniently parameterised via a smartphone, tablet or laptop.

The new "RST" LED signal tower range from WERMA impresses with its modern, sleek appearance, outstanding performance and versatile application options. With its integrated design, it not only offers a sophisticated and appealing look, but also homogeneous illumination and optimum visibility of the illuminated signals in all directions. The aesthetic signal tower also impresses with sophisticated features, the compact, slim diameter of 57 mm, multiple mounting options and the extremely high degree of protection IP 66 / IP 69k. Signal towers in any size "We are delighted to be able to present our latest innovation," says Ralf Lattuch, Sales Manager at WERMA Signaltechnik. "It not only demonstrates our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in signaling technology, but also expands our existing signal tower range with an important product family in a new diameter." With a diameter of just under 60 mm, the RST signal tower is ideal for small to medium-sized machines, systems, control cabinets and apparatus engineering. "In addition to the existing, narrow KombiSIGN 40 and Kompakt 37 signal towers and our classic KombiSIGN 72 and eSIGN with a diameter of 70 mm, we now offer the RST signal tower with a diameter of 57 mm - a portfolio that leaves nothing to be desired," smiles Lattuch. Highly visible all round An outstanding feature of the new RST LED signal tower is its 360° visibility, so that the signals are clearly perceived in all directions. Regardless of the viewing angle, the signals are clearly recognizable and provide a reliable visual warning. The milky dome also creates a soft yet lively lighting effect, resulting in a homogeneous, appealing light pattern. This aesthetically pleasing yet functional appearance is ideal for modern machine design, for example in electronics manufacturing, semiconductor production, packaging machines and the food industry.

With the SL870020, ipf electronic has a sensor in its portfolio that monitors compressed air consumption with high measuring accuracy. In addition, it is possible to retrofit the sensor into existing systems during operation and for device maintenance during operation. At a suitable measuring location, with dry air and under consideration of the inlet/outlet section, only a flange with a G½" ball valve (retrofitted if necessary) is required. Then the sensor is screwed onto the ball valve, which is opened then. The system does not lose air at this point. Afterwards, only the clamping sleeve has to be loosened and the measuring head has to be pushed in until it is placed in the middle of the pipeline with the help of a scale. Finally, the clamping sleeve is tightened again, which completes the installation. Now only the measuring results are missing. A Modbus RTU interface, a pulse output for counting or a 4-20mA analog output are available for this purpose. Thus, the entire information on air consumption can be easily processed in-house, so that you never lose track of the costs. The solution portfolio is rounded off by a local consumption measurement system that reliably performs its service even in confined spaces: The sensors listed below have an internal flow straightener. Therefore they require no or in exceptional cases only a very short inlet and outlet distance.

The motoric linear slides from ERO-Führungen are divided into three groups: linear stages, miniature linear stages, and flat linear stages. Linear stages are based on mechanical linear slides and are therefore available in these types of bearings: cross rollers, needle rollers, coated guides, dovetail, and profile rail guides. The miniature linear stages are very compact and are available in 3 different versions (spindle-, toothed belt, and eccentric drive). The flat linear stage is very space saving because of spindle mounted at the side. And so, he has got a low height, even as cross table.

New to Ganter’s product range: Mounting clamps with swivel ball joint for precise adjustments with high stop torque for low torque power as well as the option of customer-specific adaptations. For some time Ganter has offered axial ball joints under standard GN 782 that are particularly suitable for smaller installation spaces. These joints can be mounted with a knurled union nut if a lower stop torque is required, while a higher stop torque can be achieved with an open ended wrench. Ganter has now introduced the GN 784 mounting clamp with swivel ball joint series for applications which require a higher stop torque while. The new mounting clamp provides a larger rotating range of 360° around the vertical axis, thereby ±90° of the position predetermined by the swivel ball joint and ±30°of tilt angle in every position. The joint is therefore ideal for the adjustable assembly of cameras, lighting objects, air nozzles, monitors or scanners. The swivel ball joint mounting is as easy as it is ingenious: a screw with a cone tip which is operated through an adjustable hand lever or with an internal hexagon moves the casing downwards and presses the ball into the pan-shaped base element. The high effectiveness of the clamping mechanism allows for high retaining powers to be achieved on the ball with a small tightening torque. In addition, the combination of the material surfaces between the ball and casing (aluminum, black – anodized) contributes to high friction within the fixed joint. For clamping with infrequent adjustment the hand lever can be omitted and the internal hexagon threaded stud option used instead. GN 784 mounting clamps come in four sizes, with the ball joint available in a tapped thread or threaded stud type version. Customer-specific swivel ball joint connections can be supplied economically even in comparatively small unit quantities.

Movinor low voltage servomotors, T series These brushless synchronous servomotors with 6-pole stator have been completely redesigned and designed. The modern concept of the magnetic circuit, the winding and the insulation creates torque reserves and increases the service life considerably. A wide range of options is available as standard for the entire motor family, including additional mass inertia. If required, customer-specific adaptations are also possible. Movinor Low Voltage Servomotors, N Series These motors with stators designed using pole winding technology are extremely compact. Thanks to constructive optimizations and the use of stronger magnets, the power density could be improved by up to 40% compared to the T series, depending on the flange size and motor length. A large number of options are also available here, but less extensive than with the T series.

The synchronous servomotors of the series MOVINOR LN are brushless permanent magnet synchronous servomotors with sinusoidal back EMF and with neodym permanent magnets at the rotor. Therefore they are particulary suitable for high-quality servo applications, for example positioning demanding high standards of dynamics and accuracy. The new concept of the LN series optimizes the heat dissipation and improves the magnetic flux inside the motor. The modern segment winding technology with also reduced size of lamination accomplishes a servomotor with an outstanding ratio of torque / volume-content.
