Ethernet Switches Offer Multiple Redundancy Levels Ethernet Direct has released its dual homing technology in its industrial Ethernet switches. Ethernet Direct offers a broad range of industrial managed Ethernet products designed with multi-levels of redundancy to ensure a reliable and secured industrial network. Ethernet Direct offers X-Ring on Industrial managed Ethernet switches. As a network expands by connecting many devices together, Ethernet redundancy becomes more critical to ensure nonstop connection. The X-Ring proprietary protocol incorporates both a coupling ring and dual homing. When there is more than one X-Ring group set up in a network, the dual homing feature can ensure two X-Ring groups with redundant back up when connected to a backbone switch and can be enabled in the switches to allow for standby links to the upper level switch. Dual homing provides an advanced redundancy network solution by connecting switches running in different redundant protocols such as the I...

Diffusion Pump Offers Long-Term Performance BOC Edwards has released the HT20B diffusion pump, for light and heavy-duty industrial applications. The robust HT20B diffusion pump provides consistent, long-term performance and users will benefit from the highest throughput of any comparably sized pump. The new pump gives a high pumping speed of up to 8000 litres a second and is ideal for processes involving large quantities of gases, such as furnaces and coaters. The HT20B diffusion pump has a machined, cast aluminium interior for exceptional pumping stability and a stainless steel body to prevent corrosion and ensure process cleanliness. It is simple to operate and requires minimum maintenance. The heaters and oil can be changed easily. The design of the interior and boiler assembly enables the pump's performance and ultimate vacuum to be maintained between oil changes. It features a large sight glass to allow operators to easily check the oil level without disturbing the inte...

Plate Accommodates Multiple Cable Entry The latest wiring installation product from Buttkereit is the KEL-DPZ cable entry plate from the icotek range. This comprises a polyamide frame bonded to a moulded elastomer sealing plate which can accommodate multiple cable entry for a combination of cable sizes. These include 12 cables up to 5.6mm diameter, plus seven cables up to 9.7mm diameter and a further six cables up to 11.9mm diameter. An installation time of only seconds is possible with these cable entry plates, saving considerable time on cabling up machine building projects, panel-mounted switchgear, the control systems for heating, ventilating and air-conditioning plant, and many other applications. The KEL-DPZ unit is designed for use with a standardised cut-out for a 24-pole connector (35 x 112mm) and the elastomer plate incorporates a moulded-in circumferential seal for when it is bolted to a mounting surface. All cable entry sealing features are pre-formed, with the first seal c...

Video tutorial aids communication Ethernet Direct has launched its video tutorial and training site. Ethernet Direct offers a comprehensive technical reference library of information specifically oriented to industrial Ethernet, with topics like Ethernet terms and how they relate to Industrial applications, network architectures and recommendations, industrial ethernet software tools and their value, common issues that are happening on the plant floor, important organisations and their function, sections to cover applications of Ethernet/IP, ProfInet, Foundation Field bus HSE, and Modbus TCP, and security on the plant. Simplifying the terms and geared for control engineers, Ethernet Direct explains the technology required for the plant floor and industrial applications. Users can apply for free membership in the Educational link area for advanced support presentations, videos, downloads, 'webinars' and other special features. Understanding the terms and technology of Ethernet c...

Flow sensors suit almost any pipe fitting IFM Electronic's all-stainless steel SI5000 is the latest in a successful line of solid-state flow sensors. A major feature of the new range is a housing made of stainless steel in addition to wetted parts. The all-new SI5000 range uses IFM's calorimetric measuring principle, allowing the sensor to operates with no wear at all while providing high sensitivity and repeatability. The measuring range covers 3-300cm/s for liquids and 200-3,000 cm/s for gases. Temperatures can vary between - 25 and 80C. It retains push-button setting of switch points and multicolour LEDs on the unit to indicate flow and switch points. Electronic locking of the settings and resetting the parameters to the factory setting provide additional safety. By using process adapters the sensors can be integrated in almost any pipe fitting. The unit is unaffected by the orientation of the sensing face with respect to the direction of flow, providing increased flexibilit...

The CUB5 provides the user the ultimate in flexibility, from its complete user programming to the optional relay output capability. The meter can be programmed as a single or dual counter with rate indication capability. The display can be toggled either manually or automatically between the selected displays. Red Lion CUB5 Series Display has 0.46″ (11.7 mm) high digits. The LCD is available in two versions, reflective (CUB5R000) and backlight (CUB5B000). The backlight version is user selectable for green or red backlighting with variable display intensity. The Red Lion Counter is programmable for one of eight different count modes, including bi-directional and quadrature. When programmed as a dual counter, each counter has a separate scale factor and decimal points. In the counter/rate indicator mode, each have their own scaling and decimal point read-outs in different engineering units. The Red Lion Meter has two separate inputs which provide different functions depending on which...
