Beckhoff Adds Manual Operating Modules to Bus Terminal Line
Burnsville, MN — Beckhoff Auto - mation has introduced the new KL85xx manual operating module series to provide more convenient interface options for machinery. These modules mount conveniently on the outside of control cabinet doors using a snap-in system. In addition to easy manual machine intervention without opening the control cabinet, these digital and analog I/O modules also enable the convenient observa- tion of process data. A total of four different module
types are available for manual oper- ating functions: the KL8519, 16- channel, 24VDC digital inputs to monitor machine status; the KL8528, 8-channel, 24VDC at 0.5A per chan- nel digital outputs can follow pro- grammed outputs, disable outputs individually or manually turn on out- puts individually; the KL8524, 4 x 2- channel, 24VDC at 0.5A digital out- put module that has 8 channels grouped in pairs such that, for each set, only one output is allowed to be on at once; the KL8548 8-channel analog output, 0 to 10V, with changeover between manual and automatic mode, the analog output
Yamaichi: CFP MSA Compliant Connector Family
San Jose, CA — Yamaichi Electronics USA is introducing its CFP connec- tor product family CA009 series which complies with the CFP Multi- Source Agreement (MSA) specifica- tion. CFP MSA defines optical trans- ceiver form factor to enable 40Gbps and 100Gbps applications. The CA009 series, currently in mass-pro- duction, fully supports the current generation of 10Gbps x 10 channels and 148pins CFP requirements. The company is also working
with CFP MSA to develop connectors for the next generation of optical trans- ceivers called CFP2 and CFP4. These modules have smaller outline dimen- sions and pin counts than the current CFP, while the required signal speed is bumped up to 28Gbps per lane. The CA009 series consists of Host
Connectors (CA009-S001-001), Heat Sink Assemblies (CA009-13*0-001), Guide Rail (CA009-1201-001), Connector Cover (CA009-1400-001), External Bracket (CA009-1300-001) and Back Plate Assembly (CA009- 1204-001). In order to secure the mat- ing reliability between the module and host interfaces, the Plug Connector (CA009-P001-001) is utilized on the module, capable of the 200 cycle of mating requirement. These mechani- cal units contain complete EMI shield- ing features, and provide robust and
flexible heat sink design options. Contact: Yamaichi Electronics

Introducing FlexRail Self-Supporting Flat Cable Cicoil® FlexRail™
™
Works with any Cicoil fl at cable
Maintains cable in compact, parallel alignment for tight space applications
Smooth rolling motion for high accuracy motion applications
Works in any orientation: horizontally, vertically, or at any angle
FlexRail™ works in temperatures from -65°C to +260°C
Rugged and reliable: rated for millions of fl exing cycles
While Cable Carriers have served a purpose in the past, they come with a price: Noise, Size and Cost. Wouldn’t it be nice to reduce all three, with bonus benefi ts? Now you can with FlexRail™ Self-Supporting Flat Cables.
Our new FlexRail™ makes any Cicoil fl at cable completely self-supporting, in a quiet, compact package. The patent- pending FlexRail™ design keeps the cable parallel along its entire length, enabling a tighter bend radius and a more compact cable design than is possible with a cable carrier. Its smooth rolling motion, compact size, and quiet operation make FlexRail™ cables far superior to cable carriers in most linear motion applications.
Visit our website or call today to learn more about FlexRail™ - and say goodbye to that clunky old cable carrier!

potentiometer in manual mode. Up to 31 of these modules can be connected to the Bus Terminal system using the company’s K-bus extension. The maximum distance between the individual KL85xx modules is 5m. The modules can be integrated using Bus Coup lers into almost any fieldbus system, such as Ethernet, EtherCAT, Device Net, and PROFIBUS. The I/O level is wired using the KL9309 signal-independ- ent adapter terminal using
ribbon cable or shielded round cable. The KL9309 is a double-wide
“high density” terminal that has 16 terminal points and is incorporated into the Bus Terminal node. The sig- nals are electrically isolated. The mod- ules are configurable through the com-
pany’s TwinCAT automation software. Contact: Beckhoff Automation LLC, 12150 Nicollet Ave. S.,
