TECHNOLOGY UPDATE
Cable-to-cable housings
A
new range of Han® PushPull cable-to-cable housings from HARTING enable flexible IP 65/67 protected cabling configurations for the transmission of energy, data and signals in industrial equipment such as switch cabinets and machines. The new housings make it possible to use pre-assembled, individually tested system cables and cable length extensions on site. Cables can easily be adapted to fit a particular requirement, and the risk of errors that can occur with untrained staff carrying out on-site assembly is minimised. The housings can be used for Industrial Ethernet communications and power transmission with the appropriate contact inserts fitted to the Han® PushPull family variant 4 (to IEC 61076-3-103) and 14 (to IEC 61076-3-1117). A bandwidth of up to 10 Gbit/s can be achieved with a reliable AWG 22-27 conductor cross section for the transmission of Industrial Ethernet.

he award-winning O1D time-of-flight sensor from market leader ifm electronic has recently been upgraded to withstand the effects of strong extraneous light sources such as the sun. This compact and affordable sensor will still operate up to 10m, with switched or analogue signals, can happily be subjected to conditions like a bright summer’s day; that is it will not be adversely affected by 10,000 lux. In addition to outdoor applications or installations where skylights let in direct sunshine, this feature also means that highly reflective objects will not interfere with the sensing. High visibility clothing is often needed in the workplace, but optical sensors can be very sensitive to it, over longer distances, than one might expect. Not so with the upgraded O1D. All versions of the O1D are currently being updated, whether they are the standard combined switch and analogue, simple switching units, or the longer range 75m version.

New oil condition monitor from ifm electronic W
ater in an oil system can mean trouble. Leading to corrosion, ineffective lubrication, friction and eventually
serious damage. So it is good news that sensor market leader ifm electronic now offers a new diagnostic tool in the form of a solid-state oil condition monitor. The new LDH monitor will detect water contamination and indicate the relative percentage of moisture content via the analogue output. This allows an external alarm to set if the water content gets too high, and will also provide data for trending over a period of operation. Oil temperature is of course also a commonly- measured parameter, and the LDHwill also measure this in parallel to the water content and signal this on a second 4 to 20mA output; two devices combined as one. The LDH will operate over a wide range of oil temperatures, from –20 to 120 °C from a standard DC power supply (9 to 33V).
