Bosch Rexroth Small Modules

Less is more. For the new SMS linear modules (SMS - small modules, screw driven), we not only reduced the installation space, but we have also made the ordering process easier: the ultra-flat linear axes are already fully configured and can be selected and ordered online with just a few clicks. With the compatible connecting elements, you can also create a multi-axis system with two or three axes cost-effectively. Orders placed in the morning are sent out that evening

MI3000, part of the MELIPC Series of industrial computers, achieves real-time device control. Its edge computing capabilities enable data collection and analysis in the “middle level” between the IT system and the shop floor. MI3000 connects shop floors and IT systems in real time, and can function as both the front-end and base of your factory. Bring data closer to the locations you need it with MI3000.

SMC Air Management System

Schmersal Safety Fieldbox

The SFB safety field box allows simple plug-and-play installation of up to eight safety devices per box, with interface for higher end field bus.

Thanks to its universal device interface with an 8-pole M12 connector, it can be used to connect a wide variety of safety devices: electronic and electro-mechanical safety interlocks, switches, sensors, light curtains and operation panels. Field box device connections can also be configured to link different devices, thus providing maximum flexibility in the conceptual design of safety solutions.

The safety signals from connected safety devices are forwarded to a safety controller for evaluation. Parallel transmission of safety signals allows safety devices to be freely linked in the safety controller.  All device connections also feature a self-resetting fuse element to protect lines. After eliminating an overcurrent in a connection, the fuse element resets itself after a brief cool-down period.

• Installation of up to 8 safety switchgear devices
• Optimum process transparency through transfer of all diagnostic signals from connected devices to the control system. A digital input is available on each device socket.
• Field bus interfaces:
  • PROFINET / PROFIsafe
  • EtherNet IP / CIP Safety
  • EtherCat / Safety over EtherCat
• M12 power connector with 10 A current capacity for installation of wide range of safety systems
• Connect a wide variety of safety devices
• Plug-and-play installation with Universal M12 device sockets and available connection cables
• Series chain up to 10 safety field boxes

The Air Management System automatically regulates and isolates the compressed air provided to a machine to improve efficiencies during periods of inactivity.  The unit generates pressure, flow, and temperature data to characterize normal operating conditions and identify trends to both compare with similar machines and enable preventative action to maintain optimal system performance.  The unit does not require reprogramming of the user's PLC to operate, making integration both simple and cost effective.  The high-resolution data is accessed by the PLC via fieldbus and SCADA packages via OPC UA.  Using OPC UA and wireless systems, the Air Management System can be added without connector to the PLC or changes to PLC programming.
