Achieve SIL 3 without external redundancy

Image
New TÜV-certified QUINT 20+ power supply for applications up to SIL 3 Phoenix Contact’s premium QUINT POWER line now includes a single-device solution that meets functional safety applications up to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3. The new QUINT 20+ power supply has an integrated decoupling MOSFET and double overvoltage protection circuitry to meet rigorous SIL 3 safety regulations without the need for external redundancy. The QUINT 20+ power supply introduces a single conformally coated device solution with ATEX, IECEx and Class I, Division 2 approvals, which allows the power supply to be mounted within potentially explosive areas (Zone 2). The functional safety approval allows the QUINT 20+ power supply to be used in applications up to SIL 3, according to IEC 61508. The safety function is to limit the output voltage to 30 V DC, and if higher, to switch off within 20 milliseconds. The safe state is no output voltage. Designed with double overvoltage circuitry, the QUINT 20+ power sup

New 12VDC QUINT AC/DC power supplies

Phoenix Contact’s premier QUINT POWER family now includes two new AC/DC power supplies with a 12 V DC output voltage. The new devices are available in 2.5 A and 7.5 A options. Both options are UL Listed and Class I, Division 2 approved. The 2.5 A version is also NEC Class 2 rated. Phoenix Contact’s QUINT POWER product family is expanding! The QUINT POWER AC/DC power supply family now include low-wattage options ranging from 30 W – 100 W.  These low-wattage power supplies offer advanced functionality and capabilities such as a powerful dynamic boost and preventative function monitoring. QUINT POWER low wattage features maximum functionality and more     Preventative function monitoring with an adjustable signal output enables LED and remote digital monitoring to detect critical operating states before faults occur     Dynamic power boost of up to 200 percent of the nominal current for up to five seconds offers the option to reliably start inductive loads without disrupting the outp

OMRON has introduced Switch Mode Power Supply S8FS-G.

We have introduced Switch Mode Power Supply S8FS-G. Superior Basic Performance That Ensures Reliability. Wide Range of Standards Certification and Greater Usability. Superior basic performance that ensures reliability Ambient temperatures up to 70°C, greater resistance to rusting with aluminum/stainless steel case, and applications at altitudes up to 3,000 m. Certification for Global Standards North America: UL 508 (Listing), CSA C22.2 Europe: Overvoltage Category III (EN 50178) EMI: Class B (EN 61204-3) No need for control circuit transformers for which the Machinery Directive is specified. (IEC 61558-2-16) Greater Usability The Terminal Block Cover prevents screws from dropping out and the Front Cover prevents ingress of foreign matter. An IEC 61558-2-16 compliant transformer is built into the Power Supply to eliminate the need for a transformer with compound windings for control circuits for which IEC 60204-1 Machinery Directive is specified. This help

We have introduced Color Mark Sensors E3S-DC/E3NX-CA Series.  Color Mark Detection on Any Type of Packaging. Offer Stable Detection of Both Glossy and Colorful Packaging. Light Is Received over a Wide Range: Enough Even for Glossy Packaging Provides a High S/N Ratio to Detect Subtle Color Differences  Light Is Received over a Wide Range: Enough Even for Glossy Packaging This allows for the stable detection of glossy aluminum vapor deposition packaging simply install the Sensor directly above. The included high luminance RGB three-color LED light emitting element drastically improves the light intensity. Meanwhile, Smart Noise Reduction technology in the Fiber Sensor is applied to reduce the amount of noise, resulting in a high dynamic range where the Sensor is not saturated even when detecting a mirror surface—without having to make any light intensity adjustments. The high luminance white LED of the Fiber Amplifier Unit, and the high luminance RGB three-color LEDs a

OMRON has introduced Fiber Unit E32-LT35Z.

We have introduced Fiber Unit E32-LT35Z. Optical Axis Adjustment in 20 Sec and Ultra-high-power Beam Greatly Reduce Installation and Maintenance Work. The Optimum Aperture Angle and Optical Axis Accuracy Enable Optical Axis Adjustment in 20 Sec Even for Minute 0402-size Workpieces Built-in Mirror Lens Provides an Ultra-high-power Beam The optimum aperture angle that obtains a sufficient incident level for stable detection without making precise adjustment combines with high-quality optical axis accuracy with an optical axis inclination variation of ±2.5° or less between individual products to enable optical axis adjustment that is much faster than for previous products. All Fiber Units are inspected with a special jig before they are shipped to enable reliable installation without variations between individual products. Finding the horizontal head (Fiber Unit) offset in the incident light range for a specific incident level of 1,500 during installation shows just
