Metronix ARS 2000-SE "Standard Edition" series servo drives
he servo drive product family ARS 2000-SE follows the Metronix ethos of providing "universal" servo drive products that can be quickly adapted to the needs of the customer. This new "standard edition" combines the main features of the original ARS 2000 drive series with some new benefits:
T
• The drive peak current has been increased to up to 4 times the rated current.
• Control and configuration of the servo drive via the integrated Ethernet or USB interface.
• Parameterisation of the servo drive via SD card, allowing fast drive set-up without additional tools, ideal for series production or service cases.
• Integrated and certified STO that meets the requirements of Category 4 / PL e according to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL CL according to EN 62061.

35th Anniversary
The June issue of Process & Control will include a special supplement celebrating the magazine’s 35th Anniversary.
aunched in 1980, under its original name of Process Equipment News, the magazine has evolved and developed to keep pace with the changing landscape in the UK process industries.
L
The 1980s was an important time in manufacturing. Process engineers were familiar with the workings of established equipment such as pumps, valves and sensors, but a whole new world was opening up in terms of connecting and controlling devices.
The PLC and SCADA system had been around for a while, but engineers were only just learning how to use them. In the latter part of the decade, connectivity took a further leap forward with the advent of fieldbus. And the 1980s was the era that witnessed the makings of the modern Internet, but back then we were unaware of just how significant this would be!
Throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s, control and instrumentation came on leaps and bounds, and suddenly the humble piece of process equipment on the factory floor was gaining intelligence, and becoming an integral part of process automation. Energy was becoming more expensive, and we all became increasingly aware of the damage we were doing to the environment, hence energy efficient products came to the fore, and have become more and more important ever since.
Our supplement will document some of these major product and technology ‘breakthroughs’ and
ponder just how these changes have impacted on the process engineers’ working life.
