mbNETFIX - The Industrial Firewall for the Automation User

mbNETFIX is a self-learning, easy-to-configure industrial firewall. It can be operated in bridge or gateway mode.

In bridge mode it is ideal for retrofitting existing networks. It can be installed out of the box, without introducing changes in the network and, once installed, it protects your networks immediately. In gateway mode, selected areas of a network can be separated. Again, the learning mode simplifies the creation of the filter tables.

The concept is based on "security by design" right from the start. In order to keep attack vectors as small as possible, a web interface was deliberately disregarded. the firewall is configured with a specific software via the USB port.

Top 5 Facts:
• Protects the machines in the network from attacks from the internet
• Easy network segmentation with controlled routing and NAT
• Bridge and Gateway Mode
• Integration into...

November 15th, 2017

Littelfuse Introduced Industry’s First SCR Thyristor with 150°C Junction Temperature in D-PAK Packaging

Ideal for switch applications like phase control in heating, motor speed controls, converters/rectifiers and CDI.

Littelfuse, Inc. last month introduced a series of high-temperature SCR (silicon-controlled rectifier) thyristors, the first of their kind to offer a junction temperature of 150°C in compact surface-mount D-PAK (TO-252) packaging. These devices are also available in through-hole V-PAK (TO-251) packages. Standard SJ Series SCR Thyristors have a low gate current trigger level of 6mA or 15mA maximum at approximately 1.5V. Sensitive models in the series feature a gate trigger current of less than 200μA. These sensitive gate devices can be easily triggered by sense coils, proximity switches, and microprocessors.

Applications for SJ Series SCR Thyristors include capacitive discharge ignition (CDI) systems for motorcycle engines, portable...

Rollon - Selecting Pneumatic Or Rodless Electric Actuators

Selecting Pneumatic Or Rodless Electric Actuators

For some automation applications, it can be difficult to decide if a pneumatic or electric motor-driven actuator is best. Obviously, cost can be a big factor when choosing between the two, with pneumatic actuators typically costing less. So why should you pay more for an electric rodless actuator? The answer boils down to higher levels of stiffness, as well as dynamic speed and motor control.

Stiffness

Rod-type pneumatic actuators are driven by air—specifically, compressed air, which is what determines the actuator’s rigidity. Typical pneumatic actuators have a stiffness factor of < 100 N/mm. Rodless electric actuators, on the other hand, use either a belt or ballscrew as their drive medium and are powered by a mechanically coupled motor. For these actuators, the belt or ballscrew determines the actuator’s stiffness. For example, a typical AT10-style, steel-reinforced belt used in quality rodless...
