What is currently happening in the fieldbus, Ethernet and wireless sectors? Computer&AUTOMATION has compiled new products in a picture gallery.
Schmalz is continuously expanding its range of components with integrated intelligence. For example, the vacuum and pressure switch 'VSi', the compact terminal 'SCTMi IO-Link', the vacuum generator 'ECBPi' and the 'X-Pump SXMPi' can collect and interpret data and communicate via IO-Link up to the control level. The process data can also be displayed directly on a mobile device via an NFC interface together with maintenance and service information. With the Ethernet version of the SCTMi compact terminal, there is now an alternative to the IO-Link version. In contrast to field devices with IO-Link, field devices with Industrial Ethernet can communicate directly with the system controller and do not require an intermediate element such as an IO-Link master.
