RS Components makes exciting price changes for PLC, Logic Module & HMI products


RS Components (RS) now offers its Machine Builder & Process Development customers flexible pricing and market-level discounts within the PLC, Logic Module and HMI technology arena, to encourage regular and volume purchasing of these and complementary products.


The creation of a Flexible Pricing Team with specially trained sales professionals enables customers to enjoy substantial savings through negotiated discounts.


RS has created a team of internal Account Managers with whom they can build a close working relationship. So, if they have a Bill of Materials (BoM) of over £500 they can call or e-mail their contact to negotiate their savings.


Alternatively, customers can choose the RS ‘online quotes’ service, a no-cost tool created to enable them to manage all of their quotes online. They can simply upload their BoM and match it against RS’ entire product range. From their quote, customers can then select the ‘further matching and price negotiation’ option.


The service can be used by all RS account holders with an order to place of over £500 in the ‘Control Gear and Switchgear’ and ‘PLCs, Logic Modules and Data Acquisition’ sections online or in the catalogue.

Channel Oriented PLC design with EPLAN Electric P8 New Version


EPLAN has launched the new version of EPLAN Electric P8 2.0. Extended CAD functions in the area of free graphics now guarantee clear production specifications. Trimming and chamfering as well as perpendicular and tangential design are only some of the functions that support detailed representa- tions for mechanical production. To place graphical objects XY coordinates can now be directly entered in EPLAN Electric P8. This lets you quickly create operators’ desks and flange plates, with all the information needed for trouble-free production, and saves engineering time and speeds up enclosure construc- tion.


The new full text filter in parts management lets users use search terms to quickly filter parts masters and select the right component in the tree/list/combination view. Design- ing is also accelerated at the device level; the full text filter is integrated in the parts master data navigator. This simplifies handling, which is given an enormous boost in the new EPLAN Electric P8. Mini toolbars and detailed icons for toolbars now ensure intuitive handling to the benefit of both professional and occasional users.
