Sirius Current Monitoring Relays For I O-link
October 8th, 2012
The 3RR22 current monitoring relays have been expanded by an IO-Link interface for the transfer of digital measured values to the control. The monitoring relays' autonomous function remains available, independently of the control.
Application area
• Monitoring for current exceedance and shortfall
• Monitoring for line breakage
• Monitoring for no-load operation and load shedding, in case of V-belt breakage or pump idling
• Monitoring for overload, e.g. caused by a polluted filter system in pump applications
• Monitoring for the functionality of electric loads such as heating
• Monitoring for incorrect phase sequence with mobile systems such as compressors or cranes
• Monitoring for incomplete ground faults, e.g. due to damaged insulation or humidity

Spooling (or winding) is the most effective way to provide convenient packaging for materials of exceptionally long length. Typically, material is fed from a large spool at a certain rate while a SmartMotor traverses the material back and forth to create the desired pattern.
For the "perfect spool", the winder traversing position should be electronically geared to the rotational velocity of the spool that the material's being wound onto. The SmartMotor uses a customizable electronic gearing dwell control to ensure the winding stays in the desired shape even as the diameter of the spool changes because of additional material wound onto the spool.

Why Use A Sinamics Servo Pump...
September 28th, 2012
Why Use a SINAMICS servo pump?
Simple: Energy saving of up to 70%
Superior efficiency all along the line. This is the criterion when optimizing hydraulic injection molding and blow molding machines. In particular, this applies to all kinds of hydraulically driven axes on, for example, injection molding machines. In addition to the trend to design hydraulic machines completely or partially electrically, it is also advantageous to optimize the hydraulic units.
For this, Siemens provides a perfect approach with the new, highly dynamic SINAMICS servo pump. With an energy saving of up to 70%, your investment in the future will pay off within a very short time.

Reading Multiple Codes
Do you struggle with one of these applications?
*Multiple codes of the same symbology within one field of view
*Multiple codes of mixed symbologies within one field of view
*One or more codes on multiple sides to verify that codes match
*One or more codes on multiple sides to output both sides' read results as one
Reading more than one barcode at a time is challenging for many manufacturing and material handling engineers. In a new Expert Guide from Cognex: Multiple Code Reading Applications Made Easy, learn about how image-based technology solves these four applications with ease.

Tech Tip Automation Selection Tool
September 5th, 2012
TIA Selection Tool with extended scope of use.
The TIA Selection Tool helps you to choose the right products and components for your automation task, configure these and obtain a complete order list as a result. The order list is checked for errors and for compatibility of the configured products. The look and feel of the TIA Selection Tool user interface is based on the TIA Portal. Like the TIA Portal, it can be operated in either a guided portal view or in a comprehensive project view.
In addition to the products which were already available, S7-1200 and practically the entire distributed I/O can now be configured with version 1.5.
