VAN NUYS, CA — A compact, PWM, high-performance pick- and-hold solenoid driver module, the PH-ET series from Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc. (OES) is designed to energize one or two solenoids independently. It avoids overheating of the
energized solenoid coils even for indefinite hold times. By design, after applying an initial higher voltage to the solenoid coil to pro- vide the necessary force (torque) to seat the plunger, the voltage then drops down to a level suffi- cient to maintain the plunger in the seated position without over- heating. Using the onboard poten-
tiometers, the pick voltage tim- ing and hold voltage are easily adjusted for a specific applica- tion without having to compro- mise performance. This eco-

supply chain stakeholders to build software-defined machines, robots and production lines that meet escalating demands for con- nected, secure, scalable and effi- cient operations. As the core building blocks of
IAS4.0, FAMs offer highly config- urable and customizable connec- tivity, distributed control and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) apps to speed the develop- ment of flexible, modular and con- nected manufacturing machines. Pre-certified and custom
FAM functionality encompasses distributed control, embedded safety and security, multi-direc- tional communications, provi- sioning and device management, as well as remote configuration and programming services. Critical manufacturing data
can be collected and shared seam- lessly — from sensors or complex devices to machine-to-machine (M2M) or to edge devices and the cloud. Feeding this data to artifi- cial intelligence (AI) and analyt- ics solutions will help expedite the delivery of actionable opera- tional insights. Molex, LLC, 2222

friendly module is based on a microcontroller that can be easi- ly reprogrammed. Available off- the-shelf, this pulse-width modu- lated pick-and-hold module oper- ates on a single supply voltage from +9 to +50 VDC. The holding current is up to 4A rms with a peak or “pick” current of 15A for high force and/or acceleration. The snubber or fly-back diodes are incorporated to suppress voltage spikes. The module accepts a TTL command voltage of 0 to 3 VDC, or 4 to 20 mA sig-
nals. This compact module is easy to integrate into new and
