Ethernet I/O Simplifies Wave Solder Machine Control Continued from previous page
began using Sensoray’s I/O products, the standard was host-resident I/O boards plugged into a host comput- er’s expansion slots. Examples of this include Industry Standard Architec- ture (ISA) and Peripheral Compo- nent Interconnect (PCI) bus cards. As computers evolved, so too did com- puter buses. As the ISA bus was phased out, it became increasingly
Helukabel Launches Tool-Free Fieldbus Connector
Elgin, IL — Helukabel has intro- duced its new Profinet plug connec- tor, the Helukat RJ45 Cat5 IP20, which has built-in fast connection technology. The Fieldbus-compatible plug comes in a linear and angled de- sign, making it well-suited for indus- trial use in tight installation spaces. Helukat has colored contact ele-
ments which prevents the installer from committing connection errors. The clear labeling matches the wire
difficult to find expansion slots that would accept an ISA bus. Sensoray then began designing I/O systems with the new standard, PCI, which was later phased out in favor of the PCI express bus. With each new bus generation, it became more difficult to work with a system designed with a prior bus’s expansion board. Fortunately, Ethernet is avail-
able for virtually every hardware platform and it will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. Sensoray engineers decided to use this fact to put the electrical inter- face outside the computer, for protec- tion from obsolescence. Even if a new bus emerges, Ethernet is universally used and will be capable of communi- cating with the I/O connections.
Page 39 Calvo concludes that the model
2600 series systems being field- proven, commercial-off-the-shelf-sys- tem (COTS) products assure reason- able cost, good lead times, and reliable support capabilities for customers. The commonality of I/O interfaces across all of Electrovert’s product platforms has proven an excellent competitive advantage for its cus- tomers, and the collaboration with Sensoray has exemplified supply- chain management at its finest: “The relationship we have has allowed us to work together and both be efficient so we can compete at a global scale.” Contact: Sensoray Co., Inc.,

New industrial connectors.
sequence of the Profinet standard whose four single wires can be quick- ly connected. The metal housing enables it to
be used in industrial applications. Transmission rates are up to 100MHz Cat 5. The shielded plug connector comes in a linear, 180° ver- sion and an angled, 90° version. Designed to protection grade IP
20, it can withstand operating tem- peratures of –20 to +70°C (–4 to +158°F). The Helukat RJ45 Cat5 IP20 is compatible with AWG 22 and AWG 24 cables, and designed to be used with both bunched and solid wire conductor types. The Profinet plug connector can
be easily and quickly installed with- out the need for tools. The single wires must be ar -
ranged in accordance with the color coding of the RJ45 plug and, in the folded-up guide element, inserted into the contact points up to the stop. To achieve a full connection, the user presses the guide element downward to the stop, closes the housing cover, and fixes the front screw cap with a quarter rotation. The development of a 145°-an-
gled version as well as an 8-pin vari- ant is currently in the planning process and will expand the product range once successfully completed. Contact: Helukabel USA,
